Abstract Aims Vegetation classification consistent with the Braun‐Blanquet approach is widely used in Europe for applied vegetation science, conservation planning and land management. During long history of syntaxonomy, many concepts names units have been proposed, but there has no single system integrating these units. Here we (1) present a comprehensive, hierarchical, syntaxonomic alliances, orders classes syntaxonomy vascular plant, bryophyte lichen, algal communities Europe; (2) briefly...
The Caesalpinia spinosa plant, known as Tara, was used to prepare a green corrosion inhibitor solution using hot solid-liquid (Soxhlet extraction, Tara-SE) and cold extraction (maceration, Tara-ME) techniques. Their anticorrosive protection ability tested on mild steel in 0.1 M HNO3 solution. chemical content of the extracts examined by FTIR Vis spectrophotometry, surface morphology studied SEM. effect different concentrations inhibitors acidic solutions determined weight loss (WL),...
This article explores patterns of insect herbivore distribution in the canopy Laurisilva forests on seven islands Azores archipelago. To our knowledge, this is one first extensive study type tree or shrub canopies oceanic island ecosystems. One most frequently debated characteristics such ecosystems likely prevalence vague, ill‐defined niches due to taxonomic disharmony, which may have implications for insect‐plant interactions. For instance, an increase ecological opportunities generalist...
1. Anthropogenic pressures have produced heterogeneous landscapes expected to influence diversity differently across trophic levels and spatial scales. 2. We tested how activity density species richness of carabid groups responded local habitat landscape structure (forest percentage cover richness) in 48 parcels (1 km 2 ) eight European countries. 3. Local affected density, but not richness, both groups. Activity densities were greater rotational cropping compared with other habitats;...
The capture and utilization of CO2 (CCU) from industrial processes emerges as a strategic approach for effectively managing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Within these strategies, the integration biotechnology, which combines mitigation with production value-added products, is recognized pivotal enabler circular economy sustainability. In this way, biotechnology tool while producing products such biosurfactants. sequestration through activity microorganisms utilizing compound source in...
The agricultural sector seeks regional solutions to reduce environmental impact and develop practices that consider the assumptions of circular bioeconomy, in addition, meeting objectives set out 2030 agenda United Nations. In this context, Brazil leads research with soil remineralizers contribute regenerative agriculture have greater sovereignty use natural inputs. This study aimed evaluate efficiency remineralizer Rekal soils soybean commercial areas State Goiás, verifying...
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate how environmental education being applied in municipal schools the city Imperatriz, MA, with purpose encouraging healthy practices and preserving natural resources, promoting lectures workshops aim mitigating damage caused ecosystems climate change. Theoretical Framework: We started from bibliographic references a descriptive qualitative approach journals, articles theses, based mainly on authors Rabinovici Neiman (2022), providing...
Abstract Agricultural abandonment is a major driver of change in rural landscapes. Assumed to provide beneficial results the environment and conservation biota, triggers landscape biotic homogenization loss valuable species habitats. This article focuses on ecological effects challenges shifts extensive grazing regimes marginal pastureland Mediterranean mountains. We conceptualize navigated socioecological transition toward conservation‐oriented management after collapse historical land...
An attempt to obtain a consistent spatial model of natural potential vegetation (NPV) for the mainland Portuguese territory is reported.Spatial modeling procedures performed in Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, aimed operationalize phytosociological expert-knowledge about putative distribution zona1 forest communities dominam continental territories.The paradigm NPV assumed was that RIVAS-MARTINEZ (1976) and et al. (1999), which presupposes, given territory, univocal...
In this contribution we present detailed distribution and abundance data for arthropod species identified during the BALA – Biodiversity of Arthropods from Laurisilva Azores (1999-2004) BALA2 projects (2010-2011) 18 native forest fragments in seven nine Azorean islands (all excluding Graciosa Corvo islands, which have no left).Of total 286 identified, 81% were captured between 1999 2000, a period only 39% all samples collected. On average, richness each island increased by 10% time frame...
Introducción: Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) son salud mental caracterizados por un comportamiento patológico frente a ingesta y una obsesión el control peso, acompañado distorsión percepción imagen corporal. Es origen multifactorial, incluyendo causas biológico, psicológico, familiar sociocultural. TCA más conocidos anorexia nerviosa bulimia nerviosa, pero también existen otros, como trastorno atracón, ortorexia (la comida sana) vigorexia ejercicio físico). Pueden ocasionar...
The taxonomical composition and an analysis of four ecological characteristics the 46 endemic species occurring in lower Duero Basin (CW Iberian Peninsula) have been made. A comparative results reveals that this flora does not comply with general patterns previously observed other floras. Predominant life forms are hemicryptophytes (43%) chamaephytes (22%). As far seed-dispersal is concerned, 54% lack any noteworthy adaptative feature. 89% pollinated by animals (mostly insects) only 1...
Biodiverse legume-rich pastures (BLRP) have been recommended for extensive animal production since they can improve productivity and pasture quality. However, the consequences N balance within agro-system, due to increase in biological 2 fixation, must be monitored. A field trial was carried out evaluate soil availability a BLRP comparison with an adjacent unsown pasture. The experiment consisted of growing tufts nitrophilic species (turnip, Brassica campestris rye, Secale cereale) rounded...
