The objective is to quantify the carbon content (C) of reservoirs plant biomass different species in a fragment Atlantic Forest Northeast Brazil. Ten high absolute density were selected. We sampled from leaf and wood compartments each determine C content. There was difference levels between species. leaves varied 451.4 456.7 g kg-1. 451.7 456.8 group formed by families Burseraceae, Moraceae, Sa...

Nitrogen deposition to tropical forests is predicted to increase in future in many regions due to agricultural intensification. We conducted a seedling transplantation experiment in a tropical premontane forest in Ecuador with a locally abundant late-successional tree species (Pouteria torta, Sapotaceae) aimed at detecting species-specific responses to moderate N and P addition and to understan...

AIM OF THE STUDY We investigated the ethnomedical practices and knowledge of medicinal plant and fungus species of contemporary Yuracaré and Trinitario ethnic groups from Indigenous Territory and National Park Isiboro-Sécure (TIPNIS), located in the Bolivian Amazon region. Our aim was to identify the culturally most significant medicinal plant families, growth forms and species, as well as to a...

Manilkra is a pantropical genus in the family Sapotaceae. Many species from this are economically important and yield quality timber, edible fruits useful latex. The plants Manilkara extensively distributed all over tropical semitropical areas like Africa, Australia, Asia, Madagascar Latin America, as well islands such Pacific Caribbean. Phytochemical studies of different showed presence triter...

Phytochemical investigation of a dichloromethane-methanol (1:1) extract of the fruit pericarp of Omphalocarpum procerum which exhibited antiplasmodial activity during preliminary screening led to the isolation of the new fatty ester triterpenoid 3β-hexadecanoyloxy-28-hydroxyolean-12-en-11-one (1), together with five known compounds 2-6. The structure of the new compound as well as those of the ...

Genetic variation in 150 trees of A. spinosa was estimated using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR). The plant material used in this study were originated from five provenances belonging to the principal provinces of argan ecosystem in southwest of Morocco. Based on the nine ISSR primers, 86 loci were scored. At the population level, percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) was ranged from 75.58 ...
