ABSTRACT The combination of polyploidy, apomixis and the formation of aneuploid and interploid hybrids makes the genus Urochloa an interesting system for investigating meiotic stability and genome behaviour in grasses. In this study, routine meiotic analysis and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) were used to (i) evaluate meiosis in three hybrids of ...

Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...

Nurse structures effectively improve the performance of restoration plantings: a systematic review
Abstract Introduction Tree planting for ecosystem restoration often occurs on disturbed, degraded, or former agricultural sites, where seedlings face harsh conditions like sun exposure, drought, wind, frost, and browsing, which can lead to poor performance.

Abstract Introduction Open ecosystems, such as native grasslands and savannas, cover vast tropical areas and sustain multiple ecosystem services. However, they face intense degradation due to conversion into pastures with exotic grasses that invade natural ecosystems.

Abstract Introduction We examined how tropical peatland restoration initiatives have evolved over 25 years, particularly in their approach to livelihood contributions and women's participation. Objectives Using the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF), we analyze the peatland‐restoration initiatives based on project documents, examining their short‐

Abstract Integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLS) can reduce nutrient losses relative to annual cropping, yet seasonal dynamics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen in organic systems remain poorly understood. We evaluated non‐purgeable organic carbon (NPOC), total nitrogen (TN), and C:N ratios during the sixth and seventh years of a ...
