Spectroscopic Analysis of Arsenic Uptake in Pteris Ferns
Remote Sensing, 2009 Two arsenic-accumulating Pteris ferns (Pteris cretica mayii and Pteris multifida), along with a non-accumulating control fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) were grown in greenhouse conditions in clean sand spiked with 0, 20, 50, 100 and 200 ppm sodium arsenate.

The Remediation of Arsenic-Contaminated Soil by Pteris vittata L. Facilitates the Recovery of Soil Bacterial Diversity and Network Complexity [PDF]
MicroorganismsThe remediation of contaminated soils is essential for restoring land productivity and soil health. Pteris vittata L., an arsenic hyperaccumulator, has been widely used for phytoremediation, yet its ecological effects on soil systems remain ...

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Aleuritopteris hainanensis (Pteridaceae), a New Species From Hainan, China [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.A new fern species, Aleuritopteris hainanensis, is described from Hainan Province, China, closely resembling A. squamosa but differing in fertile/sterile frond length and scale morphology. Plastome analysis confirms its distinctness, showing significant genetic divergence from A. squamosa.

Enhanced Effect of Phytoextraction on Arsenic-Contaminated Soil by Microbial Reduction
Applied Sciences, 2023 The gradually increasing presence of arsenic, a highly toxic heavy metal, poses a significant threat to both soil environmental safety and human health. Pteris vittata has long been recognized as an efficient hyperaccumulator plant for arsenic pollution.

Spore morphology and its systematic implication in Pteris (Pteridaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Pteris (Pteridaceae) spores are usually trilete and can be distinguished by the perine ornamentation. The systematic value of spore morphology in Pteris is unclear, especially based on the renewed infrageneric classification of Pteris.
