Conifer By-Products Extracted Using Hydrodynamic Cavitation as a Convenient Source of Phenolic Compounds and Free Amino Acids with Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties

Molecules
Softwood bark and twigs represent by-products of forest supply chains rich in extractable bioactive compounds. This study aimed at evaluating the bioactive molecules of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) based extracts of bark and twigs from different conifer ...

Richness patterns of endemic and threatened conifers in south-west China: topographic-soil fertility explanation

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Understanding the relationships between species richness patterns and environment constitutes a key issue in biogeography and conservation strategies. To our knowledge, this is the first integrative study that incorporates soil and human-influence data ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Mechanistic Insights Into Sustainable Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass‐Derived Ferulic Acid: The Role of Alumina Regeneration

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Surface‐bound ferulate phenolate complexes undergo styrene‐like polymerization on alumina, yielding a polymeric carbonaceous layer that progressively transforms into polyaromatic carbon domains with concomitant release of aromatic products, while parallel surface‐assisted decarboxylation produces 4‐vinylguaiacol. ABSTRACT A fundamental understanding of

First Fossil Fokienia (Cupressaceae) in South China and Its Palaeogeographic and Palaeoecological Implications

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Fokienia A. Henry & H. H. Thomas is a monotypic genus of the Cupressoideae Rich. ex Sweet (Cupressaceae), native to subtropical evergreen mesophytic forests in South China, northern Laos and Vietnam. The fossil record of Fokienia is very scanty, with

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Induction of somatic embryogenesis in Pinus heldreichii culture [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2007
The potential for somatic embryogenesis in zygotic embryo and megagametophyte cultures of Pinus heldreichii was examined. Somatic embryogenesis was initiated from megagametophytes containing immature zygotic embryos at early stages of development.

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

Ecography, EarlyView.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Regeneration failure, fire, topography, and climate interact to drive temperate wet forest landscapes into fire traps

Ecography, EarlyView.
Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...
