Virginia Mallow (Sida Hermaphrodita (L.) Rusby) – Properties And Application

open access: yes, 2014
Virginia mallow (or Virgina fanpetals) belongs to the Malvaceae family and it originates from the Southeastern parts of North America. In the 20th century, the plant was brought to Europe, specifically to Ukraine, and then it was introduced in Poland (Kasprzyk et al. 2013). Virginia mallow is mainly used in industry as biomass for energy generation and

Development and yielding of Virginia fanpetals depending on some elements of agricultural practices

open access: yesAgronomy Science, 2019
In the years 2016–2018, two field experiments with species Sida hermaphrodita L. Rusby named Virginia fanpetals (syn. Virginia mallow) later in the manuscript as Sida, were carried out in the Świętokrzyskie province. They were located on light soil prone

Influence of Hornification Treatment and Fiber Length on the Performance of Recycled Polypropylene Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 4793-4803, 10 March 2026.
Study of the influence of hornification treatment and jute and mallow fiber length on the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of recycled polypropylene (PP) composites. ABSTRACT The growing accumulation of plastic waste has driven its reuse in the development of new composites, with natural fibers emerging as promising reinforcements. However,

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

What Drives Conservation Adoption? Social Science Insights from Cattle Ranchers in the Pantanal Wetland, Brazil

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fostering meaningful and equitable collaboration between practitioners and local stakeholders remains a major challenge in conservation science and practice. Common barriers include differences in intentions, values, priorities, and access to decision‐making processes. We used a novel multidisciplinary approach combining ethnography, theory of

Improving the Ecological Performance of Miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus Greef et Deuter) through Intercropping with Woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) and Yellow Melilot (Melilotus officinalis L.)

open access: yesAgriculture, 2019
Miscanthus is a promising high-yielding and low-input perennial biomass crop. However, as miscanthus does not produce nectar, it provides less support for pollinators than other perennial biomass crops, such as cup plant, Virginia mallow, or wild plant ...

The hypoxic ventilatory response and arousal burden predict the magnitude of ventilatory long‐term facilitation in humans with obstructive sleep apnoea

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 1441-1453, 1 March 2026.
Abstract The magnitude of progressive augmentation (PA) and ventilatory long‐term facilitation (vLTF) are two forms of respiratory plasticity that are enhanced in some humans with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This response might be linked to repeated nocturnal exposure to intermittent hypoxia or other traits connected to OSA.

Using Advanced Tri‐Axial Accelerometer Data to Improve Behavioral Time Budgets and Bioenergetic Estimates of Wintering Lesser Scaup

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We compared two observational methods, traditional ground truthed diurnal scanning observations and 24‐h tri‐axial accelerometer GPS/GSM transmitter data, for calculating behavioral time budgets and estimated the daily energy expenditure of wintering Lesser Scaup.

Comparison of the Effect of Perennial Energy Crops and Agricultural Crops on Weed Flora Diversity

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
The cultivation of perennial energy crops is a new agricultural system and so there is limited information available on its effects on biodiversity. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the cultivation of energy crops on the diversity of ...

Bioenergy Potential of Europe's Perennial and Biennial Wildflowers: A Combustion Performance Benchmark

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
Eight wild plant species were investigated as co‐substrates for pellet combustion. A long‐term field trial examined dry matter yield and biochemical composition, influencing combustion properties. Results show suitable combustion properties, comparable to Sida, with higher ash melting temperatures than Miscanthus, due to elevated calcium and magnesium.
