Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The invasion of Solanum rostratum exerts stage‐dependent effects on native plant communities. The study found that at low invasion levels, it temporarily enhances native plant diversity and community stability through resource complementarity; whereas at high invasion levels, it shifts to strong competitive inhibition, leading to a sharp decline in ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 231-244, January 2026.Besides being important components of landscape‐level biodiversity, medicinal plants are essential resources for traditional and modern healthcare. However, human‐driven biodiversity loss has resulted in the decline of medicinal plant populations. By maintaining connections between nature, culture, and people, sacred natural sites can help counteract ...

Herbicidal Potential of Catechol as an Allelochemical
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2006 Abstract Catechol is an allelochemical which belongs to phenolic compounds synthesized in plants. Its herbicidal effects on weed species; field poppy (Papaver rhoeas), creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) and wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis) were investigated using wheat (Triticum vulgare) and barley (Hordeum ...
