Screening of Native Plant Species in the Artisanal Gold Mining Sites of Doko, Guinea: Perspectives for Phytoremediation

open access: yesCLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study focuses on phytoremediation in a gold mining‐contaminated area in Doko, Guinea. Plant, soil, and rhizospheric soil samples were collected and subjected to physicochemical analyses to quantify heavy metal content. Biological indicators: bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and biological accumulation coefficient (BAC ...

Diurnal Variation in the Photosynthetic Traits of Sclerocarya birrea (Marula) Trees in North Namibia

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Sclerocarya birrea (marula) trees are important components of dry and semi‐dry African savanna environments due to their ecological and economical importance, including carbon storage. However, functional characteristics of these dioecious trees, such as their photosynthetic rates, remain largely unstudied.

Functional Redundancy Buffers Soil Fungal Turnover Against Vegetation Change in an African Savanna

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Using a natural savanna‐forest gradient in South Africa, we show that vegetation transitions drive high turnover in fungal taxonomy but maintain functional stability. Distinct forest communities replaced savanna taxa yet preserved similar guild structures, highlighting a high degree of functional redundancy despite compositional change.

Relative pollen productivity estimates from India: A step towards quantitative reconstruction of past plant abundance

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Pollen records and models of pollen–vegetation relationships are required to reconstruct past plant abundances during the Holocene to answer specific questions on climate history, human impact, biodiversity, and their interactions. An important parameter for model applications is pollen productivity, estimated as relative pollen productivity ...

Impact of forest management regimes on ligneous regeneration in the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Annual early fire, selective tree cutting and grazing exclusion are currently used to manage the State forests of the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso, West Africa. Such prescriptions, however, are not based on experimental evidence.

Local species‐specific effect of trees and shrubs on the incidence of the millet head miner, Heliocheilus albipunctella (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 38-48, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the interactions between crop pests, natural enemies and semi‐natural habitats in agricultural landscapes is crucial for developing ecology‐based pest management in agroecosystems. In the present study, we investigated the local‐scale species‐specific effect of tree and shrub cover and diversity on the incidence and natural pest ...

The Potential of Phytochemicals to Overcome Multidrug Resistance in Metastatic Melanoma

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Metastatic melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, accounting for most skin cancer‐related deaths. Immunotherapies and targeted therapies have improved overall and progression‐free survival rates in metastatic melanoma patients. The effectiveness of these therapies decreases due to multidrug resistance (MDR).
