Fungal Biodegradation of Tannins from Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata) and Tar Bush (Fluorensia cernua) for Gallic and Ellagic Acid Production

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2008
In the present work, the production of two potent antioxidants, gallic and ellagic acids, has been studied using solid-state fermentation (SSF) of tannin-rich aqueous plant extracts impregnated in polyurethane foam.

Field Observations of Decreasing Rock Fracturing Rates Over Geologic Time

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Rock fracturing regulates the topography, carbon cycle, geologic hazards, and infrastructure degradation of the Earth. Yet, there remains a paucity of constraints on long‐term fracturing behavior. Here we use field measurements of 2221 clasts across a range of environments and rock types to show that the number and total length of fractures in

Bark consumption of creosote bush (Larrea cuneifolia) by cuises (Microcavia australis): effect on branch survival and reproduction

Ecología Austral, 2006
Locally, mammalian herbivores may have significant effects on the abundance and fitness of plant species. This study focuses on the interaction between cuises (Microcavia australis –Rodentia-) and creosote bush (Larrea cuneifolia –Zygophyllacea-), which

Tetra-O-methyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid (Terameprocol) inhibits the NF-κB-dependent transcription of TNF-α and MCP-1/CCL2 genes by preventing RelA from binding its cognate sites on DNA

Journal of Inflammation, 2010
Background Tetra-O-methyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid, also known as terameprocol (TMP), is a naturally occurring phenolic compound found in the resin of the creosote bush.

Disentangling Natural and Anthropogenic Sources of Dust Deposition to a Montane Ecosystem at San Jacinto Peak, Southern California

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract The composition and flux of mineral dust are largely driven by the entrainment and transport of sediment from both natural and human sources, resulting in varying ecological impacts at the deposition site. To investigate the influence of natural and human sources of dust in montane environments, we measured dust composition and deposition rate

Application of computer vision for off‐highway vehicle route detection: A case study in Mojave desert tortoise habitat

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 510-523, October 2025.
Our study leverages advanced computer vision models, which we trained on a unique collection of geospatial imagery, to detect off‐highway vehicle (OHV) routes in the Mojave Desert, a critical habitat for the threatened Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii).
