Impact of non-native tree species in Europe on soil properties and biodiversity: a review [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2022
In the context of global change, the integration of non-native tree (NNT) species into European forestry is increasingly being discussed. The ecological consequences of increasing use or spread of NNTs in European forests are highly uncertain, as the ...

Acacia invasion triggers cascading effects above- and belowground in fragmented forests [PDF]

NeoBiota
Invasive alien plants like Acacia species are key drivers of ecosystem change, with considerable effects on forest structure, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. In the Mediterranean region, which is already vulnerable to challenges such as anthropogenic

Tannins extraction from Pinus pinaster and Acacia dealbata bark with applications in the industry

Industrial crops and products (Print), 2021
The use of wood waste is considered a valuable resource and a market opportunity for new products that society and industry can employ. In this context, it seems important to consider the use of the bark of two species that are found in large quantities ...

Special Bioactivities of Phenolics from Acacia dealbata L. with Potential for Dementia, Diabetes and Antimicrobial Treatments

Applied Sciences, 2022
Some diseases still need better therapeutic approaches, including the prevention of development. Natural resources are investigated with this purpose; among them, we decided to use an invasive plant as a main strategy.

Vermicomposting as a Sustainable Option for Managing Biomass of the Invasive Tree Acacia dealbata Link

Sustainability, 2022
The tree Acacia dealbata is native to Australia but has become invasive in many parts of the world thanks to its N-fixing capacity and to the allelopathic compounds present in its biomass.

Colonization and decomposition of litter produced by invasive Acacia dealbata and native tree species by stream microbial decomposers

Limnetica, 2022
Changes in forest composition and litter inputs to streams due to invasion by exotic tree species can affect the functioning of freshwater ecosystems. Acacia dealbata is an important invasive tree species in Mediterranean areas, and often replaces the ...

Harnessing halophyte-derived allelochemicals and signaling molecules to enhance salinity tolerance in crops. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Soil salinization is a growing global challenge that significantly reduces agricultural productivity by impairing seed germination, growth, and yield. While conventional crops have limited tolerance to high salinity, halophytes are promising biological models for developing strategies to sustain agriculture in saline environments and ...
