New emerging strains of toxigenic molds in agricultural areas and insufficient data on levels their toxic metabolites occurring domestic horticultural fruits berries require risk assessment MT contamination for this plant group mass consumer products. This study concentrated samples fresh sold the market (185 samples, including 127 intact 58 with signs deformation molding). We applied our own d...

Abandoned agricultural land (AAL) is a European problem and phenomenon when gradually overgrown with shrubs forest. This wood biomass has not yet been systematically inventoried. The aim of this study was to experimentally prove validate the concept satellite-based estimation woody above-ground (AGB) on AAL in Western Carpathian region. analysis based Sentinel-1 -2 satellite data, supported by ...

THE1974 ARTICLE BY Line and Sandison entitled “ ‘Obsolescence’ and Changes in the Use of Literature with Time” was highly critical of many assumptions about obsolescence and of the methodology and conclusions of much research on the topic. It placed emphasis on the distinction between synchronous and diachronous studies and on the need to correct for the size of the literature cited or used. Si...

Flower extracts of Prunus spinosa L. (blackthorn)-a traditional medicinal plant of Central and Eastern Europe indicated for the treatment of urinary tract disorders, inflammation, and adjunctive therapy of cardiovascular diseases-were evaluated in terms of chemical composition, antioxidant activity, potential anti-inflammatory effects, and cellular safety in function of fractionated extraction....

A severe outbreak of European Stone Fruit Yellows (ESFY) has been reported recently in apricot (Prunus armeniaca) orchards located in the province of Trento (Italy), where partial or total tree dieback caused major economic losses to growers. In order to prevent the disease spreading, the presence of ESFYP-vector, the psyllid Cacopsylla pruni, was monitored together with wild reservoirs of the ...

Through landscape simplification, decreased crop diversity and increased agrochemical use, agricultural intensification led to a dramatic loss of weed (Fried et al., 2009; Meyer 2013), evolution herbicide resistance in weeds (Neve 2009). Since 2010, around 3 million tons herbicides are used each year worldwide eliminate species (FAO, 2021), most cases regardless their actual impact on yield eco...

Pollination is a key ecosystem service to global agriculture, enhancing production in ~75% of crop species (Klein et al., 2007; IPBES 2016). Demand for pollinator-dependent crops has continued rise (Aizen 2019) and there growing international concern over the impact pollinator losses on food (IPBES Within UK, populations declined occupancy by ~25% between 1980 2013 (Powney 2019), driven particu...
