Abstract Aim Detection of rare species is limited by their intrinsic nature and the constraints associated with traditional field surveys. Remote sensing (RS) provides a powerful alternative to detection methods through increasing availability RS products. Here, we assess capacity at high medium resolution detect plants direct indirect approaches, how performance can be influenced characteristi...

Knowledge and protection of natural plant assemblages are key objectives of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). The CNPS Vegetation Program has a floristic classification system to define and map vegetation in the state, including rare and common vegetation. Rare vegetation represents important and distinctive assemblages of biodiversity, and over 60% of the described vegetation allianc...

The use of medicinal plants for the treatment of various diseases is an old practice in most countries and it still offers an enormous potential source of new anti-infective agents. The present study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Wattakaka volubilis leaf extract. Antimicrobial activity of Wattakaka volubilis methanol extract is determined by disc diffusion method . The...

Deficiencies in knowledge of New Zealand plants are outlined, particularly with regard to conservation status and distribution. In an effective and integrated approach to the documentation and study of rare and endangered plants four aspects must be considered: documentation of individual taxa, provision of effective protective legislation, preservation of populations in the wild and in cultiva...

inhibitor development is a lifelong challenge for patients with bleeding disorders who received replacement therapy. most commonly, inhibitor formation was observed in hemophilia a patients but patients with rare bleeding disorders (rbd) especially patients with deficiency of factor xiii (fxiii) and factor v (fv) can develop an inhibitor against exogenous factors. several factors considered as ...

Invasion by non-indigenous plants is widely considered to be a primary threat to species diversity and ecosystem function. Ecosystem changes resulting from these invasions may negatively impact native plant communities as a whole, as well as rare and endangered species. This report explores existing reports on rare plant locations in Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MISS), and Sa...

Selective foraging by granivores can have important consequences for the structure and composition of plant communities, and potentially severe consequences for rare plant species. To understand how granivore foraging behavior affects common and rare plant species, diet selection should be viewed relative to the availability of alternative seed options, and with consideration of the individual ...

Bryonopsis laciniosa Linn (Cucurbiataceae) is a rare climbing plant, locally known as Shromony (Kirtikar and Basu, 1984; Rahman, 1996). The plant was collected during September 1998 near the village Kakon hat of Borind tract of Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. The plant was identi"ed by Prof. N. Zaman, Dept. of Botany, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh and a voucher specimen (Voucher specimen no...

The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubby forest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovatashrubby forest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from...
