Background Intense landscaping often alters the plant composition in urban areas. Knowing which plant species that pollinators are visiting in urban areas is necessary for understanding how landscaping impacts biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. The cave nectar bat, Eonycteris spelaea, is an important pollinator for many plants and is often recorded in human-dominated habitats. Prev...

human activities have continuously increased the level of heavy metal ions circulating in the environment. it is important to understand the tolerance of plant species to high concentrations of heavy metals. very little is known on the response of eucalyptus species to zn and cu toxic concentrations eucalyptus camaldulensis, e. microtheca, and e. occidentalis seeds were grown in silt and irriga...

Plant uptake and dissipation of weathered PBDEs in the soils of e-waste recycling sites were investigated in a greenhouse study. Eighteen PBDE congeners (tri- through deca-) were detected in the plant tissues. The proportion of lower brominated PBDEs (mono- through hexa-) in plant roots was higher than that in the soils. A concentration gradient was observed of PBDEs in plants with the highest ...
