To achieve enduring low-maintenance green roofs that provide maximum benefit in the subtropics, plants need to be well adapted local climate with extensive coverage. The use of native contributes ecological restoration, yet there is very limited information available on their performance subtropics. This study aimed determine nine species Australian forbs, succulents, and grasses monofunctional...

Grazing exclusion (GE) is the most effective rangeland restoration technique which facilitates species diversity and forage quality. This study aimed at assessing short-term impact of GE continuously grazed on relative frequency, dry matter yield nutritive value dominant grasses in an area invaded by Euryops floribundus. A plot 2.5 ha was measured boundaries demarcated using tape measure steal ...

Studies on genetic diversity of crops are crucial for germplasm conservation and crop improvement programmes. Arecanut (Areca catechu L.) is one the plantation that have been in cultivation since time immemorial tropical regions world. In this investigation, molecular characterization analysis was carried out among 20 arecanut genotypes comprising 16 cultivated types (including 13 varieties, tw...

BACKGROUND Willows (Salix spp.) are ecosystem "foundation species" that are hosts to large numbers of associated insects. Determining their patterns of distribution across Europe is therefore of interest for understanding the spatial distribution of associated fauna. The aim of this study was to record species composition at multiple sites on a long latitudinal gradient (megatransect) across Eu...
