Network‐wide assessment of soil water content calibration and sensitivity to biomass proxies using cosmic‐ray neutron sensing in the Roaring Fork Basin, Colorado

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil water content (SWC) is a key state variable of the climate system but is often uncertain in water balance monitoring, especially in alpine environments. SWC measurements can be challenging in alpine environments due to the topography and rocky soils.

Biological Control of Ceratocystis fimbriata by Bacillus subtilis on Acacia mearnsii Seedlings [PDF]

Floresta e Ambiente, 2019
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ceratocystis fimbriata isolates, obtained from Actinidia deliciosa (kiwifruit), on black wattle (Acacia mearnsii De Wild.) seedlings, the potential biological control exerted in vitro by Bacillus subtilis on C. fimbriata, and the in vivo effect of B. subtilis against C.

A First Quantification of Plant Endemism in the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe–Mozambique) and the Significance of Open Habitats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

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.

Uromycladium acaciae, the cause of a sudden, severe disease epidemic on Acacia mearnsii in South Africa [PDF]

Australasian Plant Pathology, 2015
A severe rust disease has caused extensive damage to plantation grown Acacia mearnsii trees in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa since 2013. The symptoms are characterized by leaf spots, petiole and rachis deformation, defoliation, gummosis, stunting of affected trees and die-back of seedlings.

Extending Specimens to Save Plant DNA: Structuring Department DNA Collections in Times of Biodiversity Loss

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Small department DNA collections can be created through a six‐step holistic process that integrates DNA extracts, DNA‐rich tissues, and herbarium vouchers to generate extended specimens. We propose a revision to the international biobanking strategy (the Dynamo scheme) that leverages the strengths of interconnected small departmental collections.

Selection of Acacia mearnsii for mini-cutting propagation

Ciência Rural
ABSTRACT: Acacia mearnsii De Wild. (Black wattle) is a forest species with great social and economical importance for the southern region of Brazil. This species has multifunctional characteristics, being cultivated to produce tannin, cellulose and energy. This research identified black wattle genotypes with competence for adventitious rooting for mini-

Evaluating Conservation Corridor Success for Rare and Common Dragonflies Using Zeta Diversity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study applied the zeta diversity framework to evaluate how conservation corridors in South African timber plantations impact dragonfly assemblages, finding that corridors function similarly to natural habitats. The research findings showed that dragonfly species richness was higher in corridors than in natural areas, consistently declining with ...

Invasive alien woody plants of the southern and southwestern Cape region, South Africa

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1998
The frequency and abundance of invasive alien plants were recorded along roadsides and at watercourse crossings in 82.9% (145/175) of the quarter degree squares in the study area (3I-35°S, 17-25°E and covering ± 90 000 km:).
