The present investigation of forest ecosystem was undertaken during May 2010 to Dec 2010. The main aim of the study was to analyze the impact of biotic interferences on Yousmarg forest ecosystem. The cumulative effect of the biotic interferences was signif icantly seen in the reduction of vegetation cover. The present study revealed that the prominent factor for the exploitation of the vegetati...

The special active agent content of herbs makes them suitable for healing and health preservation. key element in the processing spices is drying. Before drying, medicinal plants should be stored under appropriate conditions to avoid deterioration quality where one possible methods pre-drying with ambient air. This work defines determination main operational parameters at forced convection dryi...

The paper analyzes the influence of soil type and its agrochemical characteristics on morphological productive parameters different yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) populations. At 8 locations following fertility were analyzed: pH (H2 O), (KCl), CaCO3 (%), humus total N available P2 O5 K2 O (mg 100 g-1 soil). From parameters, measured: plant height, number leaves, diameter head, from fresh abov...

1. Trade-offs between reproduction and growth are central assumptions of life-history theory, but their implications for sexual size dimorphism (SSD) are poorly understood. 2. Adult male Yarrow's spiny lizards Sceloporus jarrovii average 10% larger than adult females. In a low-altitude (1700 m) population, this SSD develops because males grow more quickly than females during the first year of l...

The Achillea millefolium aggregate is one of the most diverse polyploid complexes of the Northern hemisphere and has its western Eurasian boundary in the Iberian Peninsula. Four ploidy levels have been detected in A. millefolium, three of which have already been found in Iberia (diploid, hexaploid and octoploid), and a fourth (tetraploid) reported during the preparation of this paper. We collec...

The effects of different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) of aqueous leachate of Achillea biebersteinii on germination characteristics, seedling growth, photosynthetic pigments and protein contents of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) were investigated through conducting laboratory and greenhouse experiments. Leachate of A. biebersteinii affected negatively germination percentage, germination ...
