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.
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.
