Hydroclimate variability in the eastern Kimberley, Australia, since the last deglaciation
Abstract The climate of the Kimberley region in tropical northwest Australia is dominated by the Indo‐Australian summer monsoon (IASM). Understanding of the palaeoclimate since the Last Glacial Maximum in this region, which is well placed to record IASM variations, is currently based on few records.

An Angiosperm species dataset reveals relationships between seed size and two-dimensional shape [PDF]
Datasets containing information on seed size have been published and are currently available. Nevertheless, there is a lack in the literature of a dataset dedicated to seed shape. We present a preliminary version for a dataset on seed morphology based on

Understanding how climate change impacts the plant life cycle is critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our findings suggest that Terminalia paniculata Roth, a common tropical deciduous tree species in the Western Ghats, is now flowering and fruiting at more scattered times than it used to in the past.

Patterns and Drivers of Phylogenetic Beta Diversity in the Forests and Savannas of Africa
ABSTRACT Aim Studying beta diversity, or the variation in species composition among communities, can give insights into plant community assembly over space and time. If different biomes show contrasting large‐scale beta‐diversity patterns, this can indicate divergent evolutionary histories or ecological processes that then drive species turnover among ...

The plant's bark is rich in polyphenols, particularly gallic acid and ellagic acid derivatives, which are powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants can protect cells from oxidative stress and may help prevent degenerative diseases. Additionally, Terminalia arjuna contains triterpenoids like arjunolic acid and arjunic acid, which have various ...

Pollenanalytical studies in NE-Nigeria: preliminary results from the Manga Grasslands and Lake Tilla, Biu Plateau [PDF]
Two sites situated in the Sahelian and Sudanian zones of NE-Nigeria were chosen for pollen analysis. A sediment core from an interdunal depression in the eastern Manga Grassland provides information on the Holocene vegetation history of the Sahel between
