For the first time the extract of the plant of Tilia platyphyllos was used to green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) supported on Ziziphus jujuba kernel as an environmentally benign support. Ag NPs/ Ziziphus  jujuba  kernelas  an  effective  catalyst  was  prepared  through reduction  of Ag+ions using Tilia  platyphyllos extractas  the  reducing  and capping agent  and Ag  NPs immobilization...

The objectives of this study were to examine the foliar sensitivity to ozone exposure of 12 tree, shrub, and herbaceous species native to southern Switzerland and determine the seasonal cumulative ozone exposures required to induce visible foliar injury. The study was conducted from the beginning of May through the end of August during 2000 and 2001 using an open-top chamber research facility l...

Research on new, untapped seed oil sources is receiving increased attention. In this study, 18 different samples of Tilia cordata and platyphyllos from various locations in Slovenia were collected was extracted. The compositions triglyceride fatty acids unsaponifiable compounds determined using GC-MS, while antioxidant activity evaluated the DPPH method. content seeds varied significantly, 9.1%...

In the last century, pollution in atmosphere significantly increased due to anthropogenic effects including industrial activities and traffic reached a level threatening human environmental health. Among these factors, heavy metals that do not easily degrade nature, tend bioaccumulate living organisms, can be toxic, carcinogenic, lethal even at low concentrations are among most important threat...

Once, Europe was one large natural area, across which species of animals and plants were able freely to move and disperse. Today, a satellite image of Europe looks like a Persian carpet cut into millions of small rectangular pieces, each fashioned by the plough and the spade over thousands of years of cultivation. The consequence of this change is that species have disappeared. For example, ani...
