Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Leucaena Oil Functionalized With Osmium Tetroxide as a Precursor for Polyol‐Based Polyurethane

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Leucaena leucocephala seed oil is converted into a hydroxyl‐functional biopolyol through OsO4‐mediated dihydroxylation. The resulting biopolyol shows a hydroxyl number of 160–175 mg KOH g−1 and is successfully used to produce flexible, open‐cell polyurethane foams, highlighting a renewable route for converting underutilized biomass into value‐added ...

Recycling of date palm foliar waste into a biofertilizer using siliceous minerals and Trichoderma lignorum

International Journal of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture
Purpose: Palm pruning produces a huge amounts of wastes containing high amount of crude fiber, which slows down its decomposition in soil. This study aims to optimize the process of date palm leaves recycling into an effective biofertiliser using ...

When alien plants become health hazards: An applied study on toxic and allergenic risks in Italy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Alien plants are often studied for their ecological harm, but their risks to human and animal health remain poorly documented. This study provides the first comprehensive catalogue of poisonous and allergenic alien plants in Italy, identifying which species are dangerous, where they grow and who is most at risk—from children in city parks to pets and ...

The Ecological Importance of Allelopathy

, 2021
Allelopathy (i.e., chemical interaction among species) was originally conceived as inclusive of positive and negative effects of plants on other plants, and we adopt this view.

2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one is a lead inhibitor of Cuscuta campestris early development: structure–activity relationships of o‐aminophenol‐derived allelochemicals

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Phenoxazinones caused differential types of phytotoxic effects in C. campestris early development. APO is a coherent lead inhibiting C. campestris germination and early seedling growth. Abstract BACKGROUND 2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one (synonym: questiomycin A; abbreviated as APO or Phx‐3) is a naturally occurring phenoxazinone‐type allelochemical with ...

Chemically Mediated Plant–Plant Interactions: Allelopathy and Allelobiosis

Plants
Plant–plant interactions are a central driver for plant coexistence and community assembly. Chemically mediated plant–plant interactions are represented by allelopathy and allelobiosis.

Earlier spring may explain dominance of the slow‐growing dinoflagellate Naiadinium polonicum over the cyanobacterium Microcystis during a heatwave

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global warming and extreme weather events have been linked to a rise in cyanobacterial blooms, which threaten water quality and ecosystem services. However, during an extreme hot and dry summer, Microcystis was outcompeted by a dinoflagellate, Naiadinium polonicum, in a drinking water lake in southern Sweden.

Antifouling capacity of substrate materials and their effects on settlement and post‐settlement survival of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.
