The effect of elevated Zn concentrations on seed germination and young seedling growth of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) swingle [PDF]

Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2014
Some heavy metals such as Zn are essential micronutrients for plants. However, in a high concentration in soils they could cause repression of growth with toxicity symptoms.

Effects of the Invasive Tree Species Ailanthus altissima on the Floral Diversity and Soil Properties in the Pannonian Region

Land, 2021
Tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is one of the most dangerous and widespread invasive woody plant species in Europe. Despite the fact that A. altissima is in the focus of an increasing number of research projects, the impact of its mass spread on ...

Patient Perceptions of Traditional Bonesetters and Determinants of Their Utilization: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Iraqi Kurdistan

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Despite the prevalent reliance on traditional bonesetters (TBSs) in Kurdish societies, their role remains underexplored in scholarly research. This study aimed to evaluate patients' perceptions of TBSs and to investigate the determinants of their utilization over modern orthopedic care.

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.

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies—State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 663-683, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Anastomosis and Low Flows Sustain Resilient Groundwater Dependent Riparian Floodplains in an Agricultural River Valley, New Mexico

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Groundwater‐dependent native riparian ecosystems of the Gila River floodplain (a) near the upstream end of the valley in winter 2014 and (b) near the downstream valley end in summer 2018. Topographically complex floodplains create favourable conditions across the full breadth of the valley bottom for a diversity of native groundwater‐dependent ...

Herbicide Activity of Extracts from Ailanthus Altissima (Simaroubaceae) [PDF]

Natural Product Communications, 2011
The purpose of the present study was to isolate and characterize ailanthone-rich materials from the bark of the deciduous tree Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle and to assess their herbicide activity on selected herbaceous species. Ailanthone-rich fractions were obtained from A. altissima bark by extraction with dichloromethane and ethyl acetate and

Harnessing community science and open research‐based data to track distributions of invasive species in Japan

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Information gaps about invasive alien species (IAS) distributions hinder local governments in Japan, where many prefectures still lack official lists. This study shows that open research‐based data (ORD, GBIF.org) from museums and herbaria and community science data (CSD, Biome and iNaturalist) from volunteers can substantially reduce these gaps.

Toward eco‐sustainable afforestation in arid lands: key lessons from a 23‐year‐old arboretum of native and non‐native trees in Jordan

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.
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 ...

Autorotating dispersal units of Getonia floribunda Roxb. (Combretaceae): morphology, aerodynamics and geometrical significance

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dispersal units that continuously rotate while falling purely due to aerodynamic forces are called autorotating dispersal units. Single‐ to multi‐winged forms of autorotating dispersal units occur in nature. The dispersal unit of Getonia floribunda Roxb.
