Screening of Native Plant Species in the Artisanal Gold Mining Sites of Doko, Guinea: Perspectives for Phytoremediation

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study focuses on phytoremediation in a gold mining‐contaminated area in Doko, Guinea. Plant, soil, and rhizospheric soil samples were collected and subjected to physicochemical analyses to quantify heavy metal content. Biological indicators: bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and biological accumulation coefficient (BAC ...

Cattle acute intoxication by bracken fern ( Pteridium aquilinum, L. Kuhn) at north Paraná State-Brazil/
Ocorrência de intoxicação aguda em bovinos pela samambaia ( Pteridium aquilinum, L. Kuhn) no norte do Paraná-Brasil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2001
The authors describe a case of acute intoxication by bracken fern ( Pteridium aquilinum) in a cattle herd raised in the city of Reserva, Parana State. A total of 25 animals died due to intoxication caused by the ingestion of large amounts of the toxic ...

Adjacent Forests Enhance Spontaneous Revegetation and Phylogenetic Similarity on Mountainous Roadside Slopes: Implications for Ecological Restoration and Forest Edge Management

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The native‐dominated vegetation on roadside slopes primarily originates from adjacent forests, with long‐distance dispersal traits enhancing spontaneous colonization in these disturbed environments. The species composition and phylogenetic similarity between slope and forest communities are significantly influenced by the adjacent forests (species ...

Studies Concerning the Productivity and Quality of Permanent Grasslands in the Caraş-Severin County (Romania)

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
Study results show that over 70% of the permanent grasslands are affected by soil acidity and moisture excess. In addition, 54% of the floristic structure of these grasslands is made up of invasive species of no value as fodder plants.

Chemical Profiling, In Silico and In Vitro Studies to Identify Potential CDK2 and mTOR Inhibitor From Selaginella inaequalifolia (Hook. & Grev.) Spring Ethanolic Extracts

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The current study is aimed to reveal the phytoprofile of Selaginella inaequalifolia (Hook. & Grev.) Spring using GC–MS and predict the drug properties, toxicity, biological properties of S. inaequalifolia ethanolic extracts (SiEE) using in silico methods and in vitro toxicity assays, namely, MTT and BSLB assay.

Fern spore dispersal: A methodological review and experimental field study

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract Spore dispersal is one of the most important but perhaps the least investigated and understood processes in determining the geographical distribution of fern species. After a methodological review of the aerobiology of fern spores, we examined the impact of spore characteristics and meteorological factors on their airborne dispersal.

The Soil Erosion Paradox Re‐Examined: Alluviation and Land Use History in a Small British Lowland River Catchment in the Late Holocene

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Modern studies show that soil erosion results in a loss of ecosystem function, particularly fertility, and is a cause of declining agricultural yields. However, despite the well‐attested high rates of soil erosion across Roman and medieval Europe there appears to have been little or no soil‐associated decline in agricultural production—the ...

Hematologycal, biochemical, Urinary and histopathological changes in natural intoxication in bovine by bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) (L.) Kühn/
Alterações hematológicas, bioquímicas, urinárias e histopatológicas na intoxicação natural em bovinos pela samambaia Pteridium aquilnum (L.) Kühn

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2005
Enzootic hematuria is a cronic disease of cows clinically characterized by intermittent hematuria that can be caused by bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) and the papilomatosis virus.

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

Intraspecific Trait Variation Drives Functional Shifts in Grass Communities Under Grazing in the Scottish Uplands

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Shifting grazing regimes alter grasslands, however the relative roles of species turnover versus intraspecific variation (ITV) underpinning trait change are poorly understood. Using a 20‐year grazing experiment in the Scottish uplands,we found that grazing‐driven functional change in grass communities are primarily driven by ITV rather than species ...
