Soil macrofauna in relation to soil and leaf litter properties in tree plantations
Soil communities exert strong influences on the processing of organic matter and nutrients. Plantations of trees, especially of nitrogen fixing ones, may affect the soil macrofauna through litter quality and quantity.

Phylogenetic position and revised classification of Acacia s.l. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) in Africa, including new combinations in Vachellia and Senegalia [PDF]
Previous phylogenetic studies have indicated that Acacia Miller s.l. is polyphyletic and in need of reclassification. A proposal to conserve the name Acacia for the larger Australian contingent of the genus (formerly subgenus Phyllodineae) resulted in ...

ABSTRACT Episodic inundation regulates germination and recruitment from soil seedbanks, which are key processes driving vegetation dynamics in dryland floodplains. In the Murray‐Darling Basin, extensive floodplain modification and flow regulation have altered flow regimes so that anthropogenically controlled environmental watering is often required to ...

N2 fixation is linked to the ability to encroach in African savanna trees
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Encroachment is a globally ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by increasing indigenous tree densities in savanna and grassland. Encroachment has been attributed to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations fertilising tree growth and shifting the competitive balance ...

Abstract Introduction Afforestation is a key restoration strategy for mitigating land degradation and desertification in semiarid regions. However, evaluating the ecological impacts of tree species used for sustainable dryland restoration is crucial. For example, non‐native tree species may become invasive, with negative effects on native understory ...

The objective of this review was the assessment of the effect of flavonoid sources on nutrient intake and digestibility, rumen fermentation, growth performance, milk production and endoparasites in ruminant production. The increasing human population is creating a greater demand for animal products to meet the protein needs.
