Documentos iniciales posibles 2007-2008

A lo largo del curso se irán añadiendo a esta entrada otros artículos que podrán ser el germen para la realización del trabajo documental:

1. Revista y año: NATURE, 2006

Título del artículo: A phosphate alternative
Sergio A. Sañudo-Wilhelmy
A major player among the phytoplankton can exploit a source of phosphorus
previously thought to be unavailable to it. That ability may provide an
ecological advantage in nutrient-depleted regions of the open ocean.

2. NATURE, 2005

A bigger nitrogen fix
Nicolas Gruber
Biologically useful nitrogen is delivered to the upper ocean from the depths by vertical transport processes
— or such was the received wisdom. In fact, bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen may be just as crucial.


3. NATURE, 2005

Nitrogen study fertilizes fears of pollution
Jim Giles

4. NATURE, 2006

How green was my subsidy?

Europe pumps large quantities of cash into schemes that encourage less-intensive farming.
But, finds John Whitfield, some researchers are not sure what benefits they deliver.

5. NATURE, 2005

Hikes in surface ozone could suffocate crops
Jim Giles

6. NATURE, 2005

Rising temperatures are
likely to reduce crop yields
John R. Porter
7. NATURE, 2005

Engineered male sterility
Muhammad Sarwar Khan
The phenomenon of ‘cytoplasmic male sterility’ in plants has long been
exploited to enhance the productivity of certain crops. An innovative
genetic-engineering system promises to widen applicability of the approach.

8. NATURE, 2005

The age of the Amazon’s breath
Peter A. Raymond
The inorganic carbon carried in rivers of the Amazon basin seems to originate
largely from the decomposition of young plant material — a finding that
improves our understanding of the role of rivers in the carbon cycle.
