Pharmacological and pharmacognostical aspect of Prosopis juliflora: A review [PDF]

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2020
Prosopis juliflora also called as mesquite or Velayati babul, found all over the world specially in semiarid and arid areas. It is a competitive weed and has been declared as noxious in several countries. WHO found that herbal medicines are used traditionally for the treatment of diseases, nearly 80% of the population utilize plants due to their less ...

Biochar Production From Invasive Alien Plants: A Pathway to Sustainable Biomass Management and Resource Recovery

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Across the world, invasive alien plants (IAPs) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and livelihoods. A potentially sustainable method for controlling IAPs is to convert their biomass into biochar, which reduces invasion pressure while producing useful products.

Dovetailing the Genetic, Developmental and Functional Bases of the Adaptation of Stomatal Traits to Climate

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
For diverse ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a common garden, we tested a three‐tier approach to clarifying the drivers of gmax. Our analyses yielded novel findings for this wide‐ranging species: a larger gmax was achieved through greater epidermal allocation to stomata, via a higher stomatal index and smaller epidermal pavement cells; larger ...

The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3640-3655, September 2026.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Energy Channel Coupling by Mid‐Trophic Level Fish Challenges the Landscape Theory for Food Web Architecture in a Large Tropical Lake Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lake Turkana, a large tropical East African Great Lake, is an ideal model for examining how consumer fish species may mediate the coupling of fast and slow energy channels within food webs. We explored the ecological niche dynamics of five important Lake Turkana fish species across ontogeny and used a Bayesian isotope mixing model approach to identify ...

Influence of Burn Severity on Avifaunal Communities in Southern Tropical Dry Deciduous Forest, Western Ghats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Effects of burn severity [pyrodiversity] on avian community were studied in a tropical deciduous forest of Western Ghats. Bird community composition varied significantly across burn severity classes and the pyrodiversity‐biodiversity hypothesis was supported. Functional guilds showed contrasting patterns in the postfire environment.

Management of Prosopis Juliflora Invasion in Baringo County, Kenya through Utilization [PDF]

, 2019
Desertification in areas surrounding Lake Baringo in the early 1970’s prompted introduction of Prosopis juliflora. The introduction and subsequent invasion of Prosopis juliflora has over the years attracted attention due to its negative impacts.
