Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

Spatial Evolution of Prosopis Invasion and its Effects on LULC and Livelihoods in Baringo, Kenya
Woody alien plant species have been deliberately introduced globally in many arid and semi-arid regions, as they can provide services and goods to the rural poor.

Differentiation of argentine propolis from different species of bees and geographical origins by UV spectroscopy and chemometric analysis [PDF]
Bees collect vegetal resins that they mix with their wax and mechanical impurities to elaborate propolis, whose chemical composition is complex and variable depending on botanical/geographical origin, type of bee, time of year when it was produced and ...

Plant litter quality (nutrient content and toughness) varies extensively within native and invasive Hawaiian plants, with strong links to climate. Minimal differentiation between native and invasive species indicates weak support for the prediction that invasives have higher quality litter associated with fast decomposition and resource use strategies.

Groundwater‐dependent native riparian ecosystems of the Gila River floodplain (a) near the upstream end of the valley in winter 2014 and (b) near the downstream valley end in summer 2018. Topographically complex floodplains create favourable conditions across the full breadth of the valley bottom for a diversity of native groundwater‐dependent ...

De novo assembly and characterization of leaf transcriptome for the development of functional molecular markers of the extremophile multipurpose tree species Prosopis alba [PDF]
Background: Prosopis alba (Fabaceae) is an important native tree adapted to arid and semiarid regions of north-western Argentina which is of great value as multipurpose species.

Using the most complete summary of 20 years of riparian plant water use studies in North American drylands to date, we examine broad patterns of plant water use by vegetation type and across climate gradients. Marshes, cottonwood‐willow stands and tamarisk use larger amounts of water than other communities, and all communities have higher water use in ...

N2 fixation is linked to the ability to encroach in African savanna trees
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Encroachment is a globally ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by increasing indigenous tree densities in savanna and grassland. Encroachment has been attributed to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations fertilising tree growth and shifting the competitive balance ...
