ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Novel plant diebacks are emerging in association with reoccurring droughts in California. Field isolations and greenhouse trials show that latent pathogens and drought together, and not drought alone, cause the most severe diebacks. ABSTRACT The detection of emergent biotic and abiotic threats to plant health is challenging in an interconnected world ...

Abstract Black wattle (Acacia mearnsii De Wild.) is a key tree crop in South Africa, valued for its bark and timber, both of which contribute significantly to export revenue. Wattle bark harvesting begins with the rainy season in September and extends to May. During this time, harvested bark is transported to three processing facilities.

Our results point to the importance of taking management decisions for these forests considering regional conditions as well as forest type. The provided list of soil keystone taxa should be taken into account in future research and soil monitoring, which is essential for sustainable management of land.

Papermaking potential of Acacia dealbata and Acacia melanoxylon
The pulping and papermaking potential of Acacia dealbata and Acacia melanoxylon were studied using Eucalyptus globulus as a reference. Pulp yield, alkali consumption and delignification in the kraft process, of both species, compare very well with the reference.

ABSTRACT Acacia dealbata has invaded South African grasslands, yet few studies have assessed its invasion and clearing effects on grasslands. We assessed the soil (moisture, repellency, penetration resistance, infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity) and vegetation (diversity, composition and cover) impacts of A.

Moisture and Species Effect on Water Colour Generation in an Australian Temperate Forested Catchment
ABSTRACT South‐eastern Australian forested catchments supply most of Melbourne's drinking water, and discoloured water poses significant challenges for authorities because of the need for complex and costly treatment procedures. Identifying the sources and mechanisms of colour production is therefore critical.
