Back to forests in pre-Saharan Morocco? When prickly pear cultivation and traditional agropastoralism reduction promote argan tree regeneration

Silva Fennica, 2017
In the southwestern pre-Saharan arid zone of Morocco, the endemic argan forest () had been almost completely destroyed in the 1960s due to intensive coal mining and mixed cereal-livestock farming.

Improved Antioxidant Capacity by Block Cryoconcentration of Opuntia ficus-indica L. Mill (Green and Red) Juice

AppliedChem
The presence of bioactives in prickly pear has been documented, including flavonoids and betalains, which are compounds highly unstable to thermal processing. An alternative to the thermal processing of foods is the use of cryoconcentration.

Functional diabetic biscuits enriched with cereal fibers, black plum (jamun) and bioactive spices

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Cereal fibres, black plum (jamun) seed powder and bioactive spices can be combined with controlled mixing, hydration and baking to design functional biscuits. Fibre‐rich structures may limit starch accessibility, while polyphenols may inhibit starch‐digesting enzymes.

Effect of myrtle aromatization on chemical profile, sensory perception, and bioactivity of white wine vinegar

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Vinegar is a popular sour condiment rich in nutrients and bioactive components. Individual sour responsiveness greatly affects vinegar acceptance and diet consumption. In this study, the effect of aromatization with myrtle (Myrtus communis), a health‐beneficial Mediterranean aromatic plant, on the chemical composition, sensory ...

Landscape drivers of scaled quail occurrence across a broad spatiotemporal scale: implications for habitat management

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.

Modeling effects of environmental conditions and hunter activity on Montezuma quail harvest in Arizona

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Models of spatiotemporal variation in hunter harvest show that monsoon precipitation and changes in hunter behavior and composition are the primary drivers underlying variation in annual harvest of Montezuma quail. The demographic structure of the previous year's harvest was also strongly associated with the magnitude and rate of annual harvest ...
