IUCN Red List Regional Assessment of the Flora of Niue Utilising Indigenous Local Knowledge and Botanical Information

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
A regional assessment of the indigenous vascular plants of Niue is presented using the IUCN Red List criteria. The assessment was undertaken during a community workshop that drew on the indigenous local knowledge and scientific information. The assessment comprised 197 named taxa and 8 indeterminate entities, with 4 (2.0%) taxa assessed as Extinct and ...

BIOMONITORING OF SURFACE WATER TOXICITY RELATED TO URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER RELEASE

Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais, 2016
Water toxicity was biomonitoried by Tradescantia pallida, relating the results to physicochemical and qualitative analysis. Two clusters were formed by hierarchical analysis of micronuclei percentage (MN), dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity ...

Assessing the Genotoxic Effects of Emerging Organic Contaminants in Water Systems: Current Trends and Future Directions

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) represent a growing concern for global water security due to their persistence, bioactivity, and potential to induce genotoxic effects in aquatic organisms and humans. This review critically examines the current state of genotoxicity assessment for EOCs by integrating established testing frameworks with advanced ...

Feasibility of an Aquaponic System Composed of a Living Wall Coupled With an Ornamental Pond With Fish in Real‐Life Conditions

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Green and blue infrastructures are often combined to create pleasant urban landscapes and provide new ecosystems in the built environment. New techniques for building integrated vegetation systems, such as vertical greening, are becoming common. In this work, we evaluate a case study of a combined aquaponic system composed of a living wall (LW)

Context dependence of grassland plant response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: The influence of plant successional status and soil resources

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1397-1408, June 2025.
Overall greater responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi by late successional species is consistent with an important role of AM fungi in plant succession, even while AM fungi are less impactful overall in high P soils. However, the increase in responsiveness of below‐ground allocation of late successional species to AM fungi in low water ...

Sensitivity of Tradescantia pallida (Rose) Hunt. ‘Purpurea’ Boom to genotoxicity induced by ozone

Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2009
The aims of this study were to investigate the sensitivity of Tradescantia pallida 'Purpurea' to genotoxicity induced by ozone, by means of the micronucleus (MCN) bioassay, to verify whether the intensity of genotoxic responses in inflorescences is modulated by concentrations of ascorbic acid (AA) in their bracts, and/or by air temperature variations ...

Impact of Anthropogenic Pollution on the Plant Species Diversity and Composition Along the Riparian Ecotones of Goa's Sal and Zuari Rivers

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic pressures are increasingly constraining the health of riparian ecosystems by exposing their remnant vegetation to edge effects. Despite being at the land–water interface, conservation efforts have often overlooked how water pollution may indirectly exacerbate the broader impacts of anthropogenic pressures on riparian vegetation ...
