Promising biocontrol effects of a native hemiparasitic plant against a non-native C4 grass
Abstract Hemiparasitic plants are known to be able to diversify degraded grasslands by lowering the competitive power of dominant grasses. Recent research indicates that hemiparasites may also be used against invasive alien plants. Here, we tested the effects of Odontites luteus, a native European hemiparasite, on Sporobolus cryptandrus, a recently established and rapidly spreading C4 grass of North-American origin.
Limited carbon sequestration potential from global ecosystem restoration - Nature Geoscience
Abstract Ecosystem restoration is increasingly recognized as a means of climate change mitigation. Recent global-scale studies have suggested that ecosystem restoration could offset a substantial fraction of human carbon emissions since the Industrial Revolution. However, global carbon sequestration potential remains uncertain due to the tree-centric view of some models and difficulties in modelling restoration across different ecosystem types.
Inconsistent relationships detected between seed size, shape, and persistence for different plant functional groups in the Pannonian flora
Abstract Background and Aims Knowledge on seed persistence is vital from both theoretical and practical considerations but directly collecting seed persistence data for many species is rather unfeasible. Therefore, there is a need to identify traits that can predict seed persistence, but studies about the effects of seed size and shape on persistence yielded results varying across regions.
Global impoverishment of natural vegetation revealed by dark diversity - Nature
|
Abstract Anthropogenic biodiversity decline threatens the functioning of ecosystems and the many benefits they provide to humanity1. As well as causing species losses in directly affected locations, human influence might also reduce biodiversity in relatively unmodified vegetation if far-reaching anthropogenic effects trigger local extinctions and hinder recolonization.

Origin of plant trait data matters: Shared species of Northwestern Europe and the Pannonian Ecoregion have different trait values in the two regions
Abstract Trait-based ecology considerably increased our comprehension of various fields related to ecology and evolution. As measuring traits can be time-consuming and costly, analyses regularly gather trait data from databases instead of carrying out new measurements. However, intraspecific trait variability can cause considerable differences between the trait values of different population and regions.
Nurseries and garden centres as hubs of alien plant invasions
Abstract The growing global horticultural trade is having a steadily increasing impact on the rate at which alien species are introduced into new areas, partly because horticultural trade also entails the unintentional dispersal of many contaminant species. Although there are reports about noteworthy occurrences of alien plant species in garden centres, this phenomenon has hardly been studied systematically.
Grazing effects on vegetation: Biodiversity, management, and restoration
1 INTRODUCTION Large herbivores have a major impact on vegetation composition and ecosystem function and are important for managing many open vegetation types. In historic times, wild large herbivores were present in many open landscapes, but nowadays have been largely replaced by various types of domestic livestock (Figure 1).
Accumulated soil seed bank of the invasive sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) poses a challenge for its suppression
1 INTRODUCTION Studying the relationship between climate change and the spread of invasive species has been at the forefront of research in the last decades (Hulme, 2017; Ravi et al., 2022).

Endometrial scratching during hysteroscopy in women undergoing in vitro fertilization: a systematic review and meta-analysis
1. Introduction Hysteroscopy has been rapidly spread in in vitro fertilization (IVF) as it seems to improve the chances of clinical pregnancy or live birth (1). Many reproductive medicine specialists recommend hysteroscopy as an accurate tool compared to the high false-positive and false-negative rates in detecting intrauterine abnormalities with hysterosalpingography (HSG) (2–4).
Single pixel polarimetric imaging through scattering media
Abstract Polarimetric imaging can provide valuable information about biological samples in a wide range of applications. Detrimental tissue scattering and depolarization however currently hamper in vivo polarization imaging. In this work, single pixel imaging is investigated as a means of reconstructing polarimetric images through scattering media.

Introduction: Most common reason for infertility is the blockage of the Fallopian tubes. Checking tubal patency is the fist line of fertility check up. Several methods have been introduced to evaluate tubal patency. In previous studies it has been shown that during hysteroscopy air bubbles can be detected.
Decoupling absorption and emission processes in super-resolution localization of emitters in a plasmonic hotspot
Let us begin by describing the experimental approach to achieving single-molecule interaction with the plasmonic antennas that allows for the super-resolution localization of the molecule’s emission events. Consider Fig. 1a.
Exploring the polymorphic structures in Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate and Cocoa Butter
Michelle Tan || 7th October 2014 Abstract The analysis was carried out using X-Ray diffraction1–3 (XPertPro Panalytical) of polymorphic forms of Milk chocolate, Dark Chocolate and pure Cocoa Butter samples. Sugar was removed from the samples as sucrose signals interfere with those of cocoa butter. The XRD patterns obtained for the Milk Chocolate and Dark chocolate were compared to that of the pure cocoa butter.
