Potential for monetisation and utilisation of wood raw material from pioneer tree species stands in the Czech Republic

Journal of Forest Science
Pioneer tree species in the Czech Republic include birch, alder and aspen. From an economic point of view, birch seems to be the most promising. Greater use of timber from pioneer tree species in higher value-added products is currently limited by the ...

Are pioneering coyotes, foxes and jackals alien species? Canid colonists in the changing conservation landscape of the Anthropocene [PDF]

Oryx, 2019
AbstractThe pervasive influence of human agency on biodiversity in the Anthropocene gives rise to several new challenges for national and international wildlife law, including questions regarding what is natural and what is alien. Ultimately, a new vision and new rules are called for but in the meantime wildlife lawyers and other conservation ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Sobrevivência e crescimento de espécies tropicais madeireiras em consórcio com espécie pioneira em diferentes proporções. Survival and growth of tropical timber species intercropped with pioneer species in dierent proportions. [PDF]

Revista do Instituto Florestal, 2015
O cultivo de espécies florestais nativas com fins comerciais em plantios monoespecíficos vem sendo estudado há algumas décadas no Brasil. A silvicultura por meio de plantios consorciados, porém, raramente tem sido objeto de estudo.

Wave effects on seedling establishment of three pioneer marsh species: survival, morphology and biomechanics [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2019
AbstractBackground and AimsIt is important to have an in-depth mechanistic understanding of tidal marsh establishment and dynamics to ensure the long-term persistence of these valuable ecosystems. As wave forcing may be expected to impact seedling establishment, we studied the effect of water-imposed drag forces on seedling survival, morphology and ...
