Management of invasive alien plants in forests: A global perspective

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesEFSA 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.

Evaluation of the papermaking potential of Ailanthus altissima [PDF]

open access: yesIndustrial Crops and Products, 2013
Abstract In this work, Ailanthus altissima (tree-of-heaven) wood was analyzed for its chemical, morphological and papermaking properties. The A. altissima wood was cooked under kraft conditions using different active alkali charges and then handsheets were produced with the pulps having a kappa number of 16.

Targeting EZH2 in Cancer: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Translation

open access: yesMedComm – 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 ...

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 462-478, June 2026.
Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Rapid construction of insect–plant interaction networks via multiplexed long‐fragment DNA metabarcoding and NGS

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1896-1909, June 2026.
Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,

Ailanthus altissima demography data

open access: yes, 2017
Data file includes stage (NRA=nonreproductive adult; RA=reproductive adult; SDL= seedling) size (total diameter (cm) of all stems/individual at 0.5 cm aboveground), survival, and fecundity for Ailanthus altissima during 2012 and 2013.
