PRORISK’s vision is to provide exceptional value by creating an innovative platform to train a network of early stage researchers (ESR) in the field of Environmental Risk Assessment (WAS).
INTERACTOMA proposes computational approaches that exploit the co-occurrence of genes with known and unknown function and the environmental co-occurrence of different microbial species to generate hypotheses and prioritize future research objectives with ecological or biotechnological interest, using saline lakes and lakes as model systems. alpines, as well as the microbiome of animal and plant host species along climatic and geographic gradients.
This work focuses on addressing our general hypothesis that local diatom communities respond to the direct and watershed-mediated effects of the current increase in atmospheric CO2, providing insight into small-scale alkalinity generation mechanisms.
The threats to mountain aquatic ecosystems are multiple. It has been identified that the population of fish in lakes where it did not naturally exist is one of them and is particularly harmful to water quality and biodiversity.
In this project, we measure the anthropogenic impact on the rivers of high mountain national parks, investigate the response of river ecosystems to this impact, and evaluate management strategies to mitigate this impact.
In 1987, a synoptic study of the ponds of the Pyrenees was carried out that included 35 localities of the PNASM. This reference offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the changes that have occurred since then in submerged plant communities and analyze their causes.
In river ecosystems there are inherent microbial communities that could potentially decompose bioplastics due to their high recycling and decomposition capacity of nutrients such as carbon. However, it is still unknown how the degradation of bioplastics will affect aquatic ecosystems.
Determining whether ecosystems act as sources or sinks of carbon (C) is essential to mitigate the consequences of climate change and to carry out restoration actions and environmental policies that help us confront the climate crisis.
This Life project, coordinated by the CEAB-CSIC, aims to recover mountain aquatic habitats by improving the conservation of various habitats/target species in four locations in the Natura 2000 network in the alpine biogeographic regions of the Pyrenees and the Alps.
Plastic pollution is one of the effects of global change that coexists in river ecosystems with other phenomena such as the alteration of Mediterranean rivers.
