CH₄ and N₂ O emissions from smallholder agricultural systems on tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol, 2023
The aim of this study was to quantify soil CH4 and N2O fluxes from smallholder agricultural systems on tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia and assess their environmental controls. Annual CH4 emissions were strongly determined by water table depth (WTD) and increased exponentially when annual WTD was above −25 cm. In contrast, annual N2O emissions were

Widespread introduced species dominate the urban tree assemblage on the endemic-rich tropical island of São Tomé. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Afrotropical cities are growing rapidly but how this impacts biodiversity is largely unclear. Our study on São Tomé Island, Central Africa, reveals that the urban tree assemblage is impoverished and dominated by introduced species, while the natural forest is essential for the protection of native and endemic species.

Pest categorisation of Pseudococcus cryptus. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2022
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Pseudococcus cryptus Hempel (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), the citriculus mealybug, for the EU. P. cryptus originates from Southeast Asia but is now established in East Africa, the Middle East and South America.

Pest categorisation of <i>Pyrrhoderma noxium</i>. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of bonsai plants (Pinus parviflora grafted on Pinus thunbergii) from China performed by EFSA, the EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pyrrhoderma noxium, a clearly defined plant pathogenic basidiomycete fungus of the order Hymenochaetales and the family Hymenochaetaceae.

Recolonizing native wildlife facilitates exotic plant invasion into Singapore's rain forests

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1033-1044, September 2023., 2023
Rewilding and halting biological invasions are both conservation interventions to bolster biodiversity, species interactions, and ecosystems, but these actions have often been considered separately. Our case study from regenerating rainforests in Singapore showed that multiple factors including recolonizing native wild pigs' (Sus scrofa) soil ...

Divergent litter traits of riparian plant species between humid and drier biomes within the tropics

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Riparian forests provide abundant plant litter – mostly in the form of dead leaves (hereafter litter) – for both forest soils and adjacent stream ecosystems, supporting terrestrial and aquatic detritus‐based food webs. Although the fate of litter is predominantly dependent on its chemical and physical traits, there is limited availability of data on ...

Agricultural Waste‐Based Heterogeneous Catalyst for the Production of Biodiesel: A Ranking Study via the VIKOR Method

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Agricultural waste‐based heterogeneous catalysts are emerging as efficient and green catalysts. The present study explored the agricultural waste‐based heterogeneous catalyst utilized in the production of biodiesel. The plant waste is composed of organic compounds and various metals which, on combustion, produces ashes that mainly consist of various ...
