Environmental predictors of seed germination in two Halocnemum species from Mediterranean (Balearic, Tyrrenic and Adriatic) and Red Sea coastal salt marshes

Reproductive strategies for specific populations are closely related to environmental factors. Consequently, they are fundamental for conservation plans and the management of threatened habitats like salt marshes. From this viewpoint, germination strategy under different temperatures and salt conditions, voltammetric parameters and molecular analysis were performed and compared in six Halocnemum populations (four of H. cruciatum and two of H. strobilaceum) growing on Mediterranean (Balearic, Tyrrenic and Adriatic) and Red Sea coasts to establish the relation to environmental variables. Significant interpopulation differences were found in all the evaluated parameters. The Mediterranean populations showed a variable opportunistic germination strategy that was directly related to the drought period length at the studied sites. Consequently, potential environmental predictors of seed response were identified. The most noteworthy were bioclimate, soil texture, continentality index, winter temperatures and summer precipitations. Additionally, voltammetric parameters were evidenced as indicators of maternal plant stress levels and, thus, as potential determinants of future seed responses. The phylogenetic analyses showed a split into two species that did not correspond to germination response. The phylogeographic analyses showed interpopulation differences in haplotype composition for H. cruciatum, but not for H. strobilaceum. In conclusion, the tight connection between seed responses and the ecological parameters of natural populations as an adaptation for successful seedling emergence was proved regardless of its phylogenetic relations.MICINN Project CTQ2014-53736-C3-2-P and the subsequent PID2020-113022GB-I0

Generation of cooperation projects for the transfer of knowledge through volunteer stays. The case of Kitega Community Center

[EN] The development of cooperation projects requires technical knowledge of the work area, but also knowledge of the cultural and social characteristics of the place, to maximize the collaboration. This communication is based on the experience in a small rural town in Uganda with the implementation of initiatives to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants. The project has as reference the integrated participation of people from different fields that form a multidisciplinary team, so that the development of more inclusive, participatory and globalizing cooperation programs is favored. The methodology is based on the transfer of knowledge of the participants through short stays of volunteering, with the support of an NGO, allowing professionals not linked to cooperation to use their technical knowledge and initiate new projects for the future, in order to help the community to solve their own problems, by improving their capabilities This model also allows to get to know other social structures and thus promote sensitivity towards cooperation. Likewise, with the visits of the leaders from Kitega to Spain, mutual knowledge and understanding in the cultural and social level is improved[ES] El desarrollo de proyectos de cooperación requiere conocimientos técnicos del área de trabajo, pero también, conocimiento de las características culturales y sociales del lugar, para aprovechar al máximo la colaboración.

La metodología se basa en la transferencia de conocimiento de los participantes mediante estancias cortas de voluntariado, contando con el apoyo de una ONG, permitiendo que profesionales no vinculados a la cooperación apliquen sus conocimientos técnicos e inicien nuevos proyectos de futuro, con el fin de hacer partícipe a la comunidad en la solución de sus problemas, mediante la mejora de sus capacidades. Este modelo permite, además, conocer otras estructuras sociales y así promover la sensibilidad hacia la cooperación. Asimismo, con las visitas de los líderes de Kitega a España, se mejora el conocimiento mutuo y el entendimiento a nivel cultural y social.Collado López, ML.; Collado López, MF.; Laborda Cenjor, R.; Soriano Guarinos, P.; Marín Martínez, MJ.
