Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Fungitoxic Potential of Secondary Eucalyptus Metabolites in the Inhibition of Neopestalotiopsis clavispora Isolated From Macadamia

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Fungi cause injury in forest plantations; then it was tested the fungitoxic potential of Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus urophylla leaves for inhibiting the mycelial growth of the Neopestalotiopsis clavispora fungus. The presence of citronellal and citronellol compounds in the C. citriodora essential oil was more associated

Low‐dose antifungal activity of plant extracts against crop pathogens: Evidence for Equisetum arvense

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Plant extracts have emerged as eco‐friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides, acting as bioinsecticides, biobactericides, or biofungicides. Results This study evaluated the antifungal activity of nine plant extracts: Croton lechleri, Flourensia cernua, Viscum album, Equisetum arvense, Allium sativum, and Eucalyptus globulus ...
