Journal ArticleDOI

Wind as a Long-Distance Dispersal Vehicle in the Southern Hemisphere

TL;DR: A stronger correlation of floristic similarities with wind connectivity than with geographic proximities supports the idea that wind is a dispersal vehicle for many organisms in the Southern Hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shrub encroachment can reverse desertification in semi-arid Mediterranean grasslands.

TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of shrub encroachment on the structure and composition of multiple biotic community components, and on various indicators of ecosystem function in degraded Mediterranean grasslands suggests that shrub establishment may be an important step in the reversal of desertification processes in the Mediterranean region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecology and functional roles of biological soil crusts in semi-arid ecosystems of Spain.

TL;DR: The growing body of research on BSCs available from semi-arid areas of Spain is reviewed, highlighting its importance for increasing the authors' knowledge on this group of organisms and how it can be use to guide management and restoration efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of behavioral impulsivity in the development of alcohol dependence: A 4-year follow-up study.

TL;DR: The results support the relation between behavioral impulsivity and alcohol use disorders and suggest the paradigm related to delay of reward may be a factor associated with the use of alcohol and the incapacity to control inhibition as dependence develops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do biotic interactions modulate ecosystem functioning along stress gradients? Insights from semi-arid plant and biological soil crust communities.

TL;DR: The results do not agree with predictions emphasizing that the importance of plant–plant interactions will be increased under climate change in dry environments, and indicate that reductions in the cover of plant and biological soil crust communities will negatively impact ecosystems under future climatic conditions.
