To mitigate erosion after fire, land managers often seed non-native grasses onto burned slopes. To assess how post-fire seeding affects plant recovery, we compared areas that were either unseeded or artificially seeded after high-intensity fire in a dry Abies grandis (Dougl.) Lindl. forest in the northeastern Cascades. Seeding with a mix of non-native grasses and a legume significantly reduced ...

Plants from the Finnish flora were extracted and studied for their biological activity in vitro, especially in relation to phenolic compounds, which are known to have several beneficial health effects. The content of total phenolic compounds in 92 crude plant extracts was determined according to the FolinCiocalteu procedure, and the antioxidant activities of the extracts were measured as inhibi...

Abstract Gelatin (GEL) and whey protein isolate (WPI) are often taken into account as carriers of phytoantioxidants for developing active packaging. The materials obtained, however, have not yet been systematically compared to demonstrate their potential benefits drawbacks. Fireweed extract (FE) is a rich source polyphenols with high antioxidant activity. Therefore, in this study, the structura...
