Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Potential of Eichhornia crassipes for biomass refining

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2008
Here we explore the utilization of Eichhornia crassipes, commonly known as water hyacinth, as a competitive source of biomass for conversion to fuel. Ecologically, E. crassipes is the most undesirable of a class of noxious and invasive aquatic vegetation.

A systematic review of natural colourants and trend forecasting practices for the textile and fashion industry

open access: yesColoration Technology, Volume 141, Issue 6, Page 801-827, December 2025.
Abstract Recent global interest in sustainable practices in the textile and fashion industry has inspired stakeholders to readopt natural colourants. However, integrating these practices raises several questions regarding the latest developments in natural colourant and trend forecasting practices in the textile and fashion industry.

Allelopathic Effects of Water Hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) Solms is an invasive weed known to out-compete native plants and negatively affect microbes including phytoplankton. The spread and population density of E. crassipes will be favored by global warming. The aim here was to identify compounds that underlie the effects on microbes. The entire plant of E. crassipes was collected

Garden Ponds: Hidden Sources for Plant Invasions?

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Private garden ponds are increasingly popular among homeowners and can, to some extent, compensate for the loss of natural habitats, but they may be sources of invasive species as pond owners often introduce alien ornamental species. We assessed the popularity, distribution and sources of six invasive macrophyte taxa (Elodea spp., Eichhornia ...

Nanofillers Reinforcing Biopolymer Composites for Sustainable Food Packaging Applications: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 47, November 19, 2025.
Biopolymers are sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to petroleum‐based plastics for food packaging. Its adoption is often limited by poor mechanical strength, barrier properties, and improved thermal stability through the incorporation of nanofillers.

Perspectives From Nature‐Based Solutions to Restore Soil and Ecosystems

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, research into nature‐based solutions (NBS) for protecting and restoring soil health and ecosystem functionality has notably increased. The close interrelationship between the effectiveness of NBS and soil health is increasingly emphasized in the relevant scientific literature. Nevertheless, soil quality monitoring remains
