The invasion of Solanum rostratum exerts stage‐dependent effects on native plant communities. The study found that at low invasion levels, it temporarily enhances native plant diversity and community stability through resource complementarity; whereas at high invasion levels, it shifts to strong competitive inhibition, leading to a sharp decline in ...

The study presents the first complete chloroplast genome of Lycium shawii (PQ824997.1) spanning 155,936 bp and contains 128 genes (84 protein‐coding genes, 36 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs). Nucleotide diversity analysis highlighted atpI, rbcL, and accD as hypervariable loci suitable for DNA barcoding. Molecular dating analysis revealed that L.

Drivers of Hirola Antelope Diet Selection in Natural and Managed Habitat in Eastern Kenya
Hirola (Beatragus hunteri) populations in eastern Kenya consumed 17 forage species, favoring the grass Chloris virgata and the forbs Commelina benghalensis and C. diffusa. Nutrient analyses showed that natural habitats offered higher phosphorus, magnesium, and digestibility, whereas managed sites provided more sodium, potassium, and crude protein, with

ABSTRACT Objective In Australia, the beach is a favoured destination for recreational activities linked to physical, psychological, and social health benefits. Unfortunately, older people and people with disability face barriers to beach access that limit their participation in recreational activities. This study aimed to identify beach use behaviours,

Community acceptance of nature‐based solutions for coastal flood risk management
Abstract Coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels and more frequent storm events, necessitating urgent adaptation strategies. Various adaptation approaches exist, including hard engineering solutions and nature‐based solutions, but whether these strategies are implemented often depends on social ...

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

Impacts of the renewable energy transition on global plant diversity: A review
People and nature need a renewable energy transition to help address the growing, and catastrophic, effects of climate change. A sustainable energy transition involves rigorously examining the potential impacts on nature – including plant life – and creating pathways for impact mitigation that strike a clear balance between energy production and ...

How infrastructural systems are shaped and evaluated by actors based on valuations of just landscape use. ABSTRACT Delta regions increasingly suffer from both biodiversity loss and the effects of climate change. In response, many conservationists, ecologists, and urban designers have called for infrastructural models that restore rather than undermine ...
