Micromorpho‐anatomical studies on the leaves and woods of Turkish Daphne (Thymelaeaceae) taxa

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The identification of Daphne taxa is difficult because of the lack of available morphological characteristics. Here, we aimed to describe leaf and wood micromorpho‐anatomical characteristics of native Turkish Daphne taxa (D. glomerata, D. gnidioides, D. mezereum, D. mucronata, D. oleoides subsp. kurdica, D. pontica and D.

Species identity and spatial scale drive context‑dependent tree diversity effects in a Finnish forest experiment

Oikos, EarlyView.
Tree species diversity is known to affect tree growth and leaf traits, which in turn can influence various ecosystem processes. However, the reported direction of these tree diversity effects is inconsistent, indicating that their outcomes depend strongly on ecological context.

Leaf litter decomposition from native and non-native species in a freshwater forested wetland of Chile

Gayana, 2019
Decomposition of leaf litter is a fundamental process for the functioning of forested wetlands. The rapid increment of forest plantations has involved a greater contribution of leaf litter of exotic origin to these ecosystems.

Primary producers' positions towards bears and bear conservation: Insights for human–bear coexistence

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract We present primary producers' (farmers', livestock breeders', beekeepers') positions towards bears and bear conservation as documented through semi‐structured interviews within the frame of human dimensions actions of LIFE projects implemented between 2015 and 2022 in Greece.

Influence of Hornification Treatment and Fiber Length on the Performance of Recycled Polypropylene Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Study of the influence of hornification treatment and jute and mallow fiber length on the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of recycled polypropylene (PP) composites. ABSTRACT The growing accumulation of plastic waste has driven its reuse in the development of new composites, with natural fibers emerging as promising reinforcements. However,

Technological Properties of Biocomposites Produced With Agro‐Industrial Castor Waste Applicable in the Thermal Insulation of Buildings

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Biocomposites produced with agro‐industrial waste from castor hulls and pinewood bonded with urea‐formaldehyde adhesive, intended for application as thermal insulation in buildings. ABSTRACT The production of composite particleboards with agricultural waste has been the focus of many studies that aim to address environmental problems due to waste ...

Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D‐limonene synthase downregulated trees

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...
