Comparison of Techniques and Solvents on the Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Potential of Extracts from Acacia dealbata and Olea europaea

Antibiotics, 2020
Ethnopharmacological use of plant natural extracts has been known since ancient times. The optimization of plant molecule extraction is fundamental in obtaining relevant extraction yields.

Allelopathic Effect of the Invasive Species Acacia dealbata Link and Hakea decurrens R.Br., subsp. physocarpa on Native Mediterranean Scrub Species

Plants
Invasive species can profoundly alter ecosystems through mechanisms such as allelopathy. This study evaluates the allelopathic effects of Acacia dealbata and Hakea decurrens subsp. physocarpa on two dominant Mediterranean native species, Cistus ladanifer

Effectiveness of slash and burn treatments in controlling Acacia dealbata Link invasion

Biological Invasions
Abstract Slash and burn treatments are often recommended and employed for controlling the invasive tree Acacia dealbata Link. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach. We established eight experimental blocks with burn, slash and slash-and-burn treatments distributed across central Portugal.

Can allelopathic potentialities of Mediterranean plant species reduce the spread of invasive plant species, Acacia dealbata and Ailanthus altissima?

Ecology and Evolution
Beyond ecological and health impacts, invasive alien plant species can generate indirect and direct costs, notably through reduced agricultural yields, restoration, and management of the invaded environment.

Germinative behaviour of Acacia dealbata Link, Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle and Robinia pseudoacacia L. in relation to fire and exploration of the regenerative niche of native species for the control of invaders

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Invasion of forest ecosystems by invader plants and forest fires are two of the most serious environmental problems in the world. Climate change is believed to strongly influence these processes, and the invasibility of invasive alien plants (IAPs) is ...

Triaxial test investigation of the reinforcement effect of Acacia dealbata roots on mountain red soil

Scientific Reports
Vegetation roots play a pivotal role in enhancing the shear resistance and stability of degraded mountain red soils, yet the quantitative effects of root density and orientation remain poorly constrained.

Acacia dealbata invasion in Chile: Surprises from climatic niche and species distribution models [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Aim Tree invasions are a threat to biodiversity conservation, and although it is hard to predict the future spread of invasive tree species, there are tools available which could allow some estimations.

Invasive acacias experience higher ant seed removal rates at the invasion edges [PDF]

Web Ecology, 2012
Seed dispersal is a key process for the invasion of new areas by exotic species. Introduced plants often take advantage of native generalist dispersers. Australian acacias are primarily dispersed by ants in their native range and produce seeds bearing a ...

Characterization of Mineral Composition and Nutritional Value of Acacia Green Pods

Plants, 2023
The Acacia genus is considered one of the most invasive taxa in some habitats, namely coastal dunes, maritime calcareous soils, fresh lands in the valleys, mountainous areas, and the banks of watercourses and roadsides.
