Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Pre-germinative treatments applied to Chionanthus pubescens and C. virginicus seeds for sexual propagation

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2021
Chionanthus pubescens Kunth and C. virginicus seeds present double dormancy, what represents a problem for their sexual reproduction, given that it prevents them from reaching adequate germination rates.

Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Addressing Biases in Ice Jam Observations by Integrating Multi‐Source Data in a Forested Fluvial Landscape, Southern Quebec

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exhaustive long‐term and large‐scale ice jam records are scarce in most cold river environments. Many discrete events occur in small, sparsely populated river systems and are poorly represented in open‐source databases. These observation biases are transferred to predictive models of ice jams and the collective understanding of their formation

Assessment of different pretreatments to breakage dormancy and improve the seed germination in Elaeocarpus serratus L. - an underutilized multipurpose fruit tree from South India

Forest Science and Technology, 2018
The seeds of Elaeocarpus serratus, a tropical underutilized fruit tree are characterized by hard seed coat and consequent poor water uptake and low germination.

Riparian Failure: Damming and Flow Stabilization Exclude Cottonwood Colonization Along a Dryland River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Marias River flows from Glacier National Park through northcentral Montana, and into the Missouri River. Annual flows gradually declined from 1902 to 2024 (~3.2%/decade) and the 1952 Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell reservoir were operated to attenuate peak flows and stabilize downstream flows year‐round.

IMPROVEMENT OF SEED GERMINATION BEHAVIOUR IN PHYLLANTHUS AMARUS BY ACID AND MECHANICAL SCARIFICATION PRETREATMENTS

Ecoprint: An International Journal of Ecology, 2014
Phyllanthus amarus (Bhui-Aanwalaa: Family: Euphorbiaceae) is considered to be the most important medicinal plant of the Indian Thar desert. The present article deals with its seed morphological parameters, seed output, reproductive capacity (RC), germination behavior, seedling growth, root: shoot ratio (R/S ratio), germination value (GV) and vigour ...

Mechanical scarification can reduce competitive traits of boreal ericaceous shrubs and improve nutritional site quality

Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2022
Abstract Ericaceous shrubs often interfere with the growth of black spruce seedlings on regenerating forest sites in Eastern Canada. Mechanical site preparation such as scarification may improve this situation, but it is uncertain whether this is solely due to a reduction in direct competition from the shrubs, or also from a sustained improvement in ...

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Improvement of In Vitro Seed Germination and Micropropagation of Amomum tsao-ko (Zingiberaceae Lindl.)

Horticulturae, 2022
Black cardamom (Amomum tsao-ko Crevost & Lemarié) is a spice plant of great commercial value in Vietnam, but with limited propagation ability. Its seeds are characterized by a thick and hard seed coat, a small endosperm, and a small embryo, which are the
