Historical reconstruction of the invasions of four non-native tree species at local scale: a detective work on Ailanthus altissima, Celtis occidentalis, Prunus serotina and Acer negundo

One Ecosystem, 2023
Reconstructing the history (spatio-temporal patterns) of biological invasions at a small spatial scale is challenging, notably because the required data are often not available in sufficient quantity and quality.

Invasive plant species for compost production: Review of environmental and economic insights

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Invasive plant species pose significant ecological and economic challenges, threatening biodiversity and altering soil properties, while conventional control methods are often costly and resource‐intensive. This review examines the potential of composting invasive plant biomass as a viable and sustainable alternative that aligns with circular ...

Native perennials’ germination and growth response to decomposing tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) stems

Invasive Plant Science and Management
Tree of heaven [Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle] is an invasive tree that inhibits regeneration of forests. Management of forests invaded by A. altissima often includes chemically treating it and leaving dead boles behind.

Management of invasive alien plants in forests: A global perspective

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review exposes urgent and critical knowledge gaps in forest IAP management, which need addressing to meet global targets for biodiversity and forest health. These gaps include highly uneven global research effort, narrow species focus, limited method replication, overlooked seasonal effects, and inconsistent cost reporting.

Long-term dynamics of tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) in central European forests

European Journal of Forest Research, 2023
Since the 1950s, the tree of heaven ( Ailanthus altissima ) has progressively invaded forests in southern Switzerland and is becoming a growing concern also north of the Alps.

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Range Expansion of a Verticillium nonalfalfae Isolate Suppresses Ailanthus altissima With Variable Results Along Environmental Gradients

Forest Pathology
Verticillium nonalfalfae has been studied for > 20 years as a potential fungal bioherbicide for Ailanthus altissima. A specific isolate from Pennsylvania, VnAa140, has desirable virulence properties and demonstrated host specificity.

Targeting EZH2 in Cancer: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Translation

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
The abnormal overexpression or gain‐of‐function mutations of EZH2 play a significant role in cancer occurrence and progression, highlighting the importance and potential of EZH2 as a cancer biomarker. Therefore, screening for effective and safe small‐molecule inhibitors, degraders, and natural compounds targeting EZH2 through preclinical cancer models ...

Spectral variability in fine-scale drone-based imaging spectroscopy does not impede detection of target invasive plant species

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023
Land managers are making concerted efforts to control the spread of invasive plants, a task that demands extensive ecosystem monitoring, for which unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) are becoming increasingly popular.
