Abstract Research on the dynamics and driving mechanisms of submerged macrophytes communities during the natural restoration period of lakes with different trophic level remains relatively scarce. This study aims to inve...

ABSTRACT The aims of the present study were to verify whether plants from Mussununga differ from those of Mata Alta in relation to herbivory, water content, and fibres, and to test whether plants with lower leaf water co...

Vegetation cover is an important factor in soil microbial community composition and activity. We compared the effects of dominant plantspecies cover in a semi-arid scrub environment in northern Patagonia. We compared ind...

One way that pathogens develop resistance to pharmaceuticals is by forming biofilms, which are 3-D communities of bacteria. As a result, there is considerable interest in identifying new antibiofilm agents from nature th...

Protected cultivation systems offer opportunities for improving potato productivity but are often constrained by inefficient maize stover utilization and suboptimal fertilization practices. In this study, a 4 × 4 fa...

This study examined the management of conflicts between rural farmers and herders in Nigeria. Data were collected through a survey of 300 farmers selected using multistage sampling procedure. Data analysis included the u...

Abstract Microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil remediation in saline-alkaline ecosystems. However, how their assembly rules and interaction networks change during natural succession remains unclear. ...

The long-term influence of persistent small herbivores on successional plant community configuration is rarely studied. We used a herbivore exclusion experiment along the successional gradient in a salt-marsh system, to ...

Background: Globally, medicinal plants and their health-related products provide significant income and are recognised as important contributors to livelihoods. There still exist challenges in the commercialisation of c...

Microorganisms are important regulators of soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and stabilization, which is modulated by soil minerals, especially iron (Fe) oxides. Here, we analyzed soils from different forest types (...

Sobre la base de un estudio etnobotánico llevado a cabo en la última década en comunidades guaraníes de la provincia de Misiones, Argentina, se presenta información sobre plantas vinculadas al contexto de las activi...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

This article investigates the cultural significance of Siamese herbal rice (khaoyam) in Kelantan, Malaysia, with a focus on its role in shaping the relationship between people, plants, and place. Using an ethnographic ap...

Background - Plants in over one hundred families in habitats worldwide bear extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). EFNs display a remarkable diversity of evolutionary origins, as well as diverse morphology and location on the pla...

ABSTRACT Natural fragments are an important source of richness for the management and conservation of a local flora. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fragmentation on the structure and compositio...

It is estimated that there are between 2.2 and 3.8 million species of fungi, but only 3 to 8% are known. The order Agaricales in Argentina is not well known in certain areas and plant communities, as the Reserva Ecológi...

ABSTRACT The Pontal Island, located in the Parque Natural Municipal de Niterói, stands out as a vital remnant of the Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro. With ecosystems including forest, rocky outcrops, restinga, and man...

Abstract Light intensity above the groundstoreys (120 cm) and inbetween the ground strata of a Riverine forest, a Carrasco forest and a terra firme Rain forest was recorded through two day periods of time in the rain sea...

The objective of the present paper is to recognize and reconstruct, from the analysis of pollen recovered from sedimentary cores, the predominant plant communities and their variations during the Holocene in Corrientes A...

In most temperate grasslands, cattle grazing can promote physiognomic changes on plant communities, as well as changes in species growth patterns. Through these changes in vegetation, cattle grazing can generate changes ...

Livestock ranching is one of the main productive activities in arid regions of the world. Grazing produces changes in animal as well as plant communities (e.g. richness, abundance and species dominance relationships). An...

Paramecium bursaria is widely cultured using undefined plant-based infusions such as lettuce extract, yet the variable composition of these media remains a major obstacle to experimental reproducibility and microbiome re...

Changes in forest cover from forest to non-forest systems alter habitat structure and resource availability, thereby affecting the functional composition of bird communities. This study aimed to identify and compare the ...

This study aims to investigate the role of Enzim Bakti Community in raising ecological awareness through citizenship education, using a case study as the main approach. Enzim Bakti Community is a community organization t...
