Abstract

The amphibians are fascinating Vertebrata that live a "double life": because they share development stages in terrestrial and aquatic environments, and for their physiological and immunological sensibility to external stressors, they are considered bioindicators of environmental balance. The order...

Abstract

The action of man on the environment has promoted changes in the nitrogen cycle. Most of these changes are due to the food production chain (about 74 to 85% of the total anthropogenic use of nitrogen). Due to the mobility of molecules and the excess production of reactive nitrogen, there is a...
