Changes in climate, land use, and management impact the occurrence severity of wildland fires many parts world. This is particularly evident Europe, where ongoing changes use have strongly modified fire patterns over last decades. Although satellite data by European Forest Fire Information System provide large-scale statistics across countries, there still a crucial need to collect summarize in-depth local analysis understanding condition associated challenges Europe. article aims general...
Shrubland is a Mediterranean biome characterized by densely growing evergreen shrubs adapted to fire events. To date, scientific research has focused on the impact of vegetation soil erosion mainly through control that plant biomass or cover exerts sediment delivery and runoff discharge, being individual species influence hydrological erosional processes not achieved in detail. The objective this determine: i) losses shrubland-covered rangeland at Sierra de Enguera, Spain; ii) how four...
Floods are a consequence of extreme rainfall events. Although surface runoff generation is the origin discharge, flood research usually focuses on lowlands where impact higher. Runoff and sediment delivery at slope pedon scale receiving much less attention in effort to understand behaviour time space. This especially relevant areas where, due climatic hydrogeological conditions, streams ephemeral, so-called dry rivers (“wadis”, "ramblas" or “barrancos”) that widespread throughout...
The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), causes enormous damage to broadleaved forests in the northern hemisphere where it frequently defoliates large areas of forest.Since outbreaks begin oak forests, its most suitable habitat, we determined preference and performance moth larvae when reared on three species native oaks: sessile oak, Quercus petraea (Matt.)Liebl.; Turkey Q. cerris L.; Hungarian frainetto (Ten.).Leaf expansion selected physical chemical...
The biological activities of essential oils from Ocimum basilicum L. and Salvia officinalis against Sitophilus oryzae were investigated in the laboratory experiments. Contact toxicity (applied on filter papers), grain treatment for mortality repellency assays, also effect insect fecundity obtained during four weeks. Only most concentrated solutions (2 %) both plants caused significant mortality, anti-reproductive effect. All grain-protective properties concentration- time-dependent....
Natural populations of Gentiana asclepiadea L., located at two mountainous sites, were HPLC-analyzed regarding the contents six representative secondary metabolites. The swertiamarin (SWM), gentiopicrin (GP), sweroside (SWZ), mangiferin (MGF), isoorientin (ISOOR), and isovitexin (ISOV) determined in (three per study site), separately for aboveground belowground plant parts. PCA showed a clear separation four groups according to analyzed Out compounds, five present all samples only one (SWZ)...
The effects of salinity on in vitro growth, morphogenesis, photosynthetic rate (Pn), PSII efficiency (Fv/Fm), and chlorophyll content were investigated Centaurium erythraea Rafn. Root growth was more adversely affected by increasing NaCl concentration than shoot growth. High salt concentrations effective induction axillary adventitious buds shoots, with 400 mM being the most efficient one. Values Pn Fv/Fm increased at moderate levels, but decreased when applied. Chlorophyll a b contents...
Understanding the relationship between land use and cover thermal environment has recently become an emerging issue for urban planners policy makers. We chose Belgrade, as a case study, to present cost- time-effective framework monitoring spatiotemporal changes of green spaces in relation surface temperature (LST). Time series analysis was performed using Landsat 5 TM 8 OLI/TIRS imagery from 1991 2019 with approximate 5-year interval (18 images total). Spectral vegetation indices supervised...
Abstract A 5‐year field survey examined western corn rootworm (WCR) ( Diabrotica virgifera LeConte) beetle density in Serbia from 2002 to 2006. First‐, second‐, third‐, fourth‐ and fifth‐year maize fields were sampled; they represented 64.61%, 21.66%, 9.45%, 3.53% 0.75% of all sampled respectively. Results showed that the mean WCR population 794 differed depending on cropping history. Minimum WCR/trap/day was 0.0 first‐year Maximum registered fourth‐year (27.8 21.2 respectively). Mean adults...
Ethanol solutions of five fractions obtained from essential oil sweet basil Ocimum basilicum L. (Lamiales: Lamiaceae) (F1–F5) were tested for their antifeedant properties against 2ndinstar gypsy moth larvae, Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), in laboratory non-choice and feeding-choice experiments. Prior to bioassays, the chemical composition each fraction was determined by gas chromatography analyses. Significant larval deterrence feeding achieved application fresh leaves host...
The composition of the essential oil twigs and needles Taxus baccata L. from three natural populations in Serbia has been determined by GC/MS analysis. Of 91 detected compounds, 87 were identified. most abundant compound classes aliphatic alcohols, terpenes, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, which together comprised ca. 86.92% total composition. dominant constituents oct-1-en-3-ol (23.48%), (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol (11.46%; alcohols), myrtenol (11.38%; oxygenated monoterpene). PCA 22 selected compounds...
Secondary plant metabolites can express the regulatory effects on development and survival of other species, microorganisms or animals. In this study, we investigated toxic antifeedant effect ethanol solutions derivatives obtained from sage (the essential oil, five fractions same oil F1-F5, camphor) against second instar larvae adults Colorado potato beetle (CPB). The bioassays were performed in laboratory conditions. Toxicity tested was negligible; with exception S. officinalis which caused...
Abstract Totally, 26 xerohalophytic species belonging to the associations Cakilo-Xanthietum italici and Echinophoro-Elymetum farcti were registered at Velika plaža beach (Montenegro); they distributed following spatial succession common in this type of habitat. Three transects different terrain morphology (positioned perpendicularly shoreline) surveyed establish if there any differences floristic composition distribution due configuration discrepancy. Moreover, each transect was divided into...
Abstract Diarylheptanoids are a group of secondary metabolites widely distributed in the Betulaceae family and characteristic for Alnus species. In this study, chemotaxonomic power diarylheptanoids, such as hirsutanonol-5- O - β d -glucopyranoside, rubranoside A, oregonin, platyphylloside, alnuside A hirsutanonol, has been investigated combination with principal component analysis (PCA) differentiation Concentrations six diarylheptanoids bark extracts two natural populations glutinosa (black...
