Mitigation of Legacy Effects in Invaded Soil via Alien Plant‐Derived Biochar 题目:外来植物生物炭对其入侵后土壤遗留效应的修复作用

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 686-694, December 2025.
The soil fungicide reduces the occurrence of pathogenic fungi in invaded soil and at the same time promotes the recruitment of mycorrhizal fungi and saprophytic fungi by the plants. The addition of biochar to the invaded soil has a negative legacy effect on subsequent invasive plants, while it exerts a positive enhancement effect on native plants ...

Foraging of Scaptotrigona aff. depilis (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in an Urbanized Area: Seasonality in Resource Availability and Visited Plants

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The floral sources used by bees can be identified by analyzing pollen grains obtained from their bodies, feces, brood cells, or storage pots in the nests. In addition to data on resource availability, this information enables the investigation on the selection of food resource by bees. We assessed the foraging patterns of Scaptotrigona aff.

Study of the Soil Seed Bank Composition in Arjo‐Diga Humid Afromontane Forest under Different Land Use Types and Its Implications for the Restoration of Degraded Lands in Western Ethiopia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ecology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The soil seed bank present in forests serves as a crucial indicator of soil resilience following disturbances. The objective of this study was to investigate the composition, density, and vertical distribution of the soil seed bank in the Diga District of Western Ethiopia across four land use types: forestland, grassland, bare land, and shrubland.
