Impact of farming practices on soil diatoms and testate amoebae: A pilot study in the DOK-trial at Therwil, Switzerland

Edward Mitchell, Thierry Jean Heger

Testate amoebae (Arcellinida and Euglyphida) and diatoms (Bacillariophyta) respond to different ecological gradients. These protists are useful tools for biomonitoring and paleoecological studies in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is kn ...

Inland Empire: réconciliation autour du Douro (Porto, P)

Maxime Duvoisin

The cities of Porto and Gaia have grown exponentially towards the seaside, but mainly to the inland. The river Douro, being the sheer existence of the two cities, has been left to an absolute state of lethe. The Douro River has become an amorphous element, ...
