Application of decision trees to analyze the ecological impact of invasive species in Polder lakes in Belgium [PDF]
Polder lakes in Belgium are stagnant waters that were flooded by the sea in the past. Over the years, the salinity of these systems decreased. Several of these systems are colonized by invasive species (often related to fish stocking).

Insects Associated With Butternut and Butternut Canker in Minnesota and Wisconsin [PDF]
Butternut, Juglans cinerea, is being killed throughout its native range in North America by the fungus Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum. In addition to rain splashed spores, it is thought that the fungus may have spread over long distances to ...

Creative Ecology: Restoration of Native Forests by Native Trees.
Ecological devastation is becoming a serious problem locally to globally, inproportion as people seek affluent living circumstances. Environmental devastation originated mainly from nature exploitation and construction of cities and industrial institutions with non-biological materials.

ABSTRACT Interpreting the impedance response of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is challenging due to the complex coupling of ionic and electronic motion. While drift‐diffusion (DD) modelling is a reliable method, its mathematical complexity makes directly extracting physical parameters from experimental data infeasible.

Reduced risk for positive soil-feedback on seedling regeneration by invasive trees on a very nutrient-poor soil in Seychelles [PDF]
Invasive plants sometimes alter habitat conditions so as to promote further invasion, either by the same or by other non-native species. Such positive feedbacks often occur because the non-native species increases soil fertility, thereby favouring ...

Floristic response to urbanization: Filtering of the bioregional flora in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA [PDF]
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Globally, urban plant populations are becoming increasingly important, as these plants play a vital role in ameliorating effects of ecosystem disturbance and climate change.

ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.
