Reconstruction of the Exhumed Mantle Across the North Iberian Margin by Crustal-Scale 3-D Gravity Inversion and Geological Cross Section

Recent models support the view that the Pyrenees were formed after the inversion of a previously highly extended continental crust that included exhumed upper mantle rocks. Mantle rocks remain near to the surface after compression and mountain building, covered by the latest Cretaceous to Paleogene sequences. 3-D lithospheric-scale gravity inversion demands the presence of a high-density mantle body placed within the crust in order to justify the observed anomalies. Exhumed mantle, having ~50 km of maximum width, continuously extends beneath the Basque-Cantabrian Basin and along the northern side of the Pyrenees. The association of this body with rift, postrift, and inversion structural geometries is tested in a balanced cross section across the Basque-Cantabrian Basin that incorporates a major south-dipping ramp-flat-ramp extensional detachment active between Valanginian and early Cenomanian times. Results indicate that horizontal extension progressed ~48 km at variable strain rates that increased from 1 to ~4 mm/yr in middle Albian times. Low-strength Triassic Keuper evaporites and mudstones above the basement favor the decoupling of the cover with formation of minibasins, expulsion rollovers, and diapirs. The inversion of the extensional system is accommodated by doubly verging basement thrusts due to the reactivation of the former basin bounding faults in Eocene-Oligocene times. Total shortening is estimated in ~34 km and produced the partial subduction of the continental lithosphere beneath the two sides of the exhumed mantle. Obtained results help to pinpoint the original architecture of the North Iberian Margin and the evolution of the hyperextended aborted intracontinental basins. ©2017.

Rhizobium Presence and Functions in Microbiomes of Non-leguminous Plants

The genus Rhizobium is well known in the context of its interaction with leguminous plants. The symbiosis Rhizobium-legume constitutes a significant source of ammonia in the biosphere. Rhizobium species have been studied and applied as biofertilizers for decades in legumes and nonlegumes, due to the potential as N-fixer and plant growth promoter. Since its discovery, conventional culture-dependent techniques were used to isolate Rhizobium members from their natural niche, the nodule, and their identification was routinely performed via 16S rRNA gene and different housekeeping genes. Biotechnological advances based on the use of omics-based technologies showed that species belonging to the genus Rhizobium are keystone taxa in several diverse environments, such as forests, agricultural land, Arctic, and Antarctic ecosystems, contaminated soils and plant-associated microbiota. In this chapter, we will summarize the advances in the study of the Rhizobium genus, from culturomics strategies to modern omics methodologies, mostly based on next-generation sequencing approaches. These cutting-edge molecular approaches are fundamental in the study of the behavior of Rhizobium species in their interaction with Non-leguminous plants, supporting their potential as an ecological alternative to chemical fertilizers in the battle against Climatic Change
