Phenolic Compounds in Five Species Collected from Estonia
Epilobium species have been traditionally used as medicinal plants to treat benign prostate hyperplasia. The present study investigated the content of polyphenols, tannins, and flavonoids in Epilobium parviflorum Schreb., E. hirsutum L., E.

Temporal dynamics of aquatic communities and implications for pond conservation [PDF]
Conservation through the protection of particular habitats is predicated on the assumption that the conservation value of those habitats is stable. We test this assumption for ponds by investigating temporal variation in macroinvertebrate and macrophyte ...

Late Cenozoic silty and sandy sediments in the semi‐arid Mackenzie basin have been eroded and redeposited almost entirely from nearby Mesozoic greywacke basement. Fine (commonly micron scale) phyllosilicate flakes, including clays, are randomly distributed and randomly oriented, and the sediments are porous.

Fenced ungulate exclosure (foreground) with unfenced control plot (background). ABSTRACT Question Ungulates play a key role in influencing understory vegetation and ecosystem dynamics in temperate forests. However, how soil conditions modulate ungulate effects on understory communities remains insufficiently understood.

A First Quantitative Assessment of Soil Health at European Scale Considering Soil Genesis
ABSTRACT Background Soil health degradation is a major threat to European food security, biodiversity, and climate stability. While scientists have debated how to define soil health during recent decades, a quantifiable framework for monitoring, management, and policy remains lacking.

Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review
Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.

The complete chloroplast genome of Epilobium hirsutum L. (Onagraceae)
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Epilobium hirsutum L. is presented here. It is 161,111 bp in length and divides into four distinct regions: a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,310 bp, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 89,117 bp, and a ...

Besides being important components of landscape‐level biodiversity, medicinal plants are essential resources for traditional and modern healthcare. However, human‐driven biodiversity loss has resulted in the decline of medicinal plant populations. By maintaining connections between nature, culture, and people, sacred natural sites can help counteract ...

This study successfully synthesized Citrus maxima peel essential oil (CMPEO) nanoemulsions. To obtain the CMPEO nanoemulsions, the ratio 1:2 (v/v) of CMPEO and surfactants (Tween 80 and Span 80) was used. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biosynthesized using Lantana camara L. as a reducing agent.
