Active interventions accelerate native plant recolonization following agricultural abandonment
Our results show that combined canopy thinning and prescribed burning can accelerate natural recolonization in savanna systems. However, additional measures (e.g. seed addition) may be needed for weak‐dispersing species. These findings highlight the utility of integrating passive processes with active interventions to conduct efficient landscape‐scale ...

Selenium reverses Pteridium aquilinum-induced immunotoxic effects
We have previously shown that bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) has immunomodulatory effects on mouse natural killer (NK) cells by reducing cytotoxicity. Alternatively, it has been demonstrated that selenium can enhance NK cell activity.

ABSTRACT Aim For improved predictions of the redistribution of species under climate change, there is a need to better understand how interactions among multiple abiotic drivers affect species distributions. We examined whether occupancy patterns of forest plant species change consistently along geographic and macroclimatic gradients. We further tested

We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

Modeling Neglected and Underutilized Crops for Future Food Resilience: A Regional MaxEnt Workflow
ABSTRACT Increasing agrobiodiversity is a widely supported idea and prevalent topic in academic discussion recently as a means to combat the effects of climate change. However, there is a lack of connection between academic discussion and application.

Regionalization of European Habitat Classification (EUNIS) for Effective Ecosystem Assessment
The study presents a regionalization framework for EUNIS habitat classification. We relied on European concepts to define 99 regional ecologically meaningful habitats that were strongly linked to environmental drivers and legal conservation categories.

ABSTRACT This study presents the first deep‐learning time‐series benchmark for detecting two encroaching species in the Brazilian Cerrado: the native super‐dominant fern Pteridium arachnoideum and the invasive alien shrub Tithonia diversifolia. We evaluate 43 architectures across six families (CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, and three hybrid groups) on ...

Essential oil composition and antibacterial activity of Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn
Introduction The present work aims to study the chemical composition of Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn essential oil and its antibacterial activity against three important phytopathogenic Gram-negative bacteria: Erwinia amylovora, Pectobacterium ...
