Phytochemistry, Chemotypic Diversity and Antimicrobial Potential of Essential Oils From Native Aromatic Plants of the Americas: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFlavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
This review bridges ancestral indigenous knowledge with modern pharmacology, summarizing the phytochemistry and antimicrobial properties of essential oils from seven native American species. It highlights their significant activity against bacterial, fungal and parasitic pathogens, emphasizing their potential as sustainable therapeutic and agricultural

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Construction and Application of a Novel C‐Vine Copula‐Based Multi‐Variate Ecological Drought Index

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive ecological drought index capturing vegetation growth conditions and meteorological–hydrological variability is essential for assessing ecological drought and optimizing water resource management. This study selected soil moisture (SM), actual evapotranspiration (ET), land surface temperature (LST) and leaf area index (LAI) to ...

Controlling Growth of Ultrasmall Sub‐10 nm Silver Nanoparticles From Cotinus coggygria Scop. Extract and Evaluation of Its In Vitro Anti‐Breast Cancer, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study highlights the potential use of Cotinus coggygria Scop. plant extract in a single‐step synthesis of biocompatible and ultrasmall AgNPs for in vitro applications. Herein, microscopic analyses revealed that AgNP exposure did not induce appreciable morphological changes in CRL‐4010 cells, whereas MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231 cells exhibited ...

Exact Values and Bounds on Covering Schemes of Strength Two

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, we investigate covering schemes of strength 2 over finite abelian groups, establishing new lower and upper bounds and evaluating new exact values. A main result is a new general lower bound that improves the trivial one and achieves optimality for the binary case. We also develop a recursive relation based on subsets of the group

Embryonic Development in Two High‐Elevation Oviparous Lizard Species: Contrasting Strategies for Coping With Cold Climates

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to local climates is crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. The cold climate of high elevations constitutes a physiological challenge for reptiles, especially during the embryonic stages of oviparous species, because embryos have limited ability to thermoregulate behaviorally. To examine how

A Framework for Subgroup Dynamics Through the System Dynamics Lens: An Integrative Review of the Attribute and the Network Views

open access: yesJournal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subgroups are dynamic entities evolving constantly in response to changing contexts and time. Although scholars from both the attribute and the network views have acknowledged that subgroups are inherently complex and fluid, research in these traditions has remained bifurcated, with limited efforts to integrate the two perspectives to more ...

Climate Change and Reduction of Soil Organic Layer Thickness Increases Drought Risk in Mountain Forests of the Northern Alps

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background On ca. 10% of the forested sites in the Bavarian Alps (Germany) mountain, forest soils (so‐called folic histosols) are characterized by thick organic layers overlying poorly weathered calcareous parent material. Aim These organic layers play a critical role in releasing water and nutrients for vegetation, yet they are also sensitive

Holocene vegetation change and fire–plant diversity shifts in Mediterranean France

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in fire activity are recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and vegetation communities across the Mediterranean Basin. However, long‐term fire–vegetation interactions remain poorly investigated. Here, we combine a high‐resolution charcoal record with pollen data from the “Étang des Aulnes” lake (southern France) to reconstruct ...

The historical shrub roses in urban green areas

open access: yesAnnals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW - Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, 2018
Parkowe róże historyczne w przestrzeni miejskiej. Tradycja uprawy róż sięga czasów antycznych i do dziś są one jedną z najważniejszych roślin ozdobnych. Liczne gatunki i odmiany starszego pochodzenia mają duże walory dekoracyjne, a ponadto spełniają warunki stawiane roślinom przeznaczonym do sadzenia w mieście: są bardzo odporne na warunki zimowe i ...
