ABSTRACT Although the arthropod‐based Biological Soil Quality Index (QBS‐ar) is widely used to assess soil biological quality in agroecosystems, interpreting its variation under field conditions remains challenging. We characterised spatial and temporal patterns in QBS‐ar and complementary arthropod‐based indicators across four arable fields belonging ...

The halophyte Cakile maritima reduces phenanthrene phytotoxicity
International audienceIn a previous study, we showed that the halophyte plant model Thellungiella salsuginea was more tolerant to phenanthrene (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon: PAH) than its relative glycophyte Arabidopsis thaliana.

Genetic analyses of leaf traits in an interspecific Zoysia japonica × Zoysia matrella F2 population
Abstract Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is an important warm‐season turfgrass cultivated across tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of the world. The genus is characterized by the presence of salt‐secreting glands on the adaxial leaf surface, which contribute to its high salt tolerance.

Phylogeny Drives Carrion Consumption by Vertebrate Scavengers Towards Distantly Related Species
Carrion is a highly nutritious resource that plays a key role in ecosystem functioning, but may pose pathogen risks, particularly between phylogenetically close carcass‐scavenger pairs. Using camera traps, we assessed how phylogenetic distance influenced scavenging in a Mediterranean wetland.

ABSTRACT Animal mass mortality events are increasing under global change, generating large and unpredictable pulses of carrion that can influence ecosystem functioning. Although scavenger dynamics at individual carcasses are relatively well understood, little is known about how terrestrial vertebrate and invertebrate assemblages exploit large carrion ...

ABSTRACT Although the physiological mechanisms underlying salt tolerance in wild barley (Hordeum maritimum) are relatively well understood, its recovery after salt stress remains poorly characterized. In this pot experiment, plants were exposed to 200 mM NaCl for 0, 15, 30, 45, or 60 days to evaluate changes in growth and water status.

Commercially exploited seaweed species in Africa, their biochemical composition, current uses, and value chain are reviewed. Potential value‐addition of seaweed is suggested regionally in Africa amongst countries producing similar seaweed species. ABSTRACT Africa has a wide range of coastal environments that support a diverse array of seaweed species ...

Global food security is increasingly compromised by the synergistic pressures of soil salinization and the climate-mediated proliferation of resilient agricultural pests and weeds. Halophytes, extremophile plants naturally adapted to high-salinity niches,
