The establishment of living mulches in organic orchards could potentially improve the orchard biodiversity and, when specific plant species are selected, provide additional eco-services and functions, including adequate weed management. This study was conducted an organically managed apple Skierniewice (Poland) to assess effect two selected mulching species: Alchemilla vulgaris Mentha piperita....

Larvae and adults of certain species of predator lady beetles feed on pollen, guaranteeing their survival, and at times, reproduction in the absence of preferred prey. Palynology, therefore, may contribute in the investigation of botanical families visited by these predators in order to obtain this floral resource. There are records of the visitation of Apiaceae flowers by Coleomegilla maculata...

inerica has been called a nation of joiners . We are. I don't know that anyone has ever made an exact count of all the voluntary organizations and associations in the United States, but my guess is that there must be a million or more . Upon coming to Norman a few years ago, I learned that there were over two hundred and fifty organizations in this community of modest size . I was particularly ...

We report on a revisit in 2009 to sites where vegetation was recorded in 1967 and 1970 on Disko Island, West Greenland. Re-sampling of the same clones of the grass Phleum alpinum after 39 years showed complete stability in biometrics but dramatic earlier onset of various phenological stages that were not related to changes in population density. In a fell-field community, there was a net specie...

Weighlevel, is a mixture of extract of leaves of Alchemilla vulgaris, Olea europea and Mentha longifolia L, as well as seeds of Cuminum cyminum. These plants are used in traditional Greco-Arabic and Islamic medicine as well as in European herbal medicine. Weighlevel has been recently found to be safe and effective in weight loss in preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, including a prelimina...

A new fungal species in the arbuscular mycorrhiza-forming Glomeromycetes, Entrophospora nevadensis, was isolated from soil near the roots of several endemic and endangered plant species (e.g. Plantago nivalis and Alchemilla fontqueri) growing in Sierra Nevada National Park (Granada, Andalucia, Spain). The fungus was propagated in trap cultures on Plantago nivalis and Sorbus hybrida and in pure ...
