Bioremediation and biovalorisation of olive-mill wastes [PDF]

Olive-mill wastes are produced by the industry of olive oil production, which is a very important economic activity, particularly for Spain, Italy and Greece, leading to a large environmental problem of current concern in the Mediterranean basin.

Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,

Nature‐Based Land Management Practices and Yield Dynamics in Oil Palm Production: Insights From Indonesian Smallholder Growers

Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based land management (NLM) practices are increasingly promoted for their potential to bridge yield gaps and increase overall crop production. Yet, the extent of NLM adoption, the factors driving it, and its impact on yields remain unknown, particularly among smallholder farmers.

Using bamboo biochar with compost for the stabilization and phytotoxicity reduction of heavy metals in mine-contaminated soils of China

Scientific Reports, 2017
Anthropogenic activities have transformed the global geochemical cycling of heavy metals (HMs). Many physical, chemical and biological methods are used to reduce the toxicity of HMs to humans, plants and environment.

Salicylate plant defences reduce aphid nutritional quality and increase predator consumption

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salicylic acid‐induced defences diminish Macrosiphum euphorbiae performance and nutritional quality by reducing body protein and lipid content. Ladybird beetle predators (Hippodamia convergens) consumed more low‐quality aphids compared to high‐quality aphids, exhibiting compensatory feeding response to nutrient‐deficient p prey.

Salt tolerance as a factor in determining suitability of northern grasses for revegetation of oil sands sites affected by tailings release water

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
We compared the effects of release water from the enhanced non‐segregating oil sands mining tailings (eNST) on the growth and physiological responses of three grass species varying in salt tolerance: a relatively salt‐sensitive Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), a moderately salt‐tolerant Alkali bluegrass (P.
