A significant challenge in community ecology is the establishment of ecological baselines, which permit evaluation variations dynamics at different temporal and spatial scales. To our best knowledge, few studies have been conducted forest openings Mt. Parnon to establish a baseline for future monitoring. Hence, floristic study herbaceous plant species composition, diversity, cover, biomass was ...

Mutualisms can be disrupted when non-native plants are introduced into novel environments, potentially impacting their establishment success. Introduced species reassemble mutualisms by forming associations with resident biota or maintaining familiar they co-introduced mutualists. Invasive Australian Acacia in South Africa have formed nitrogen-fixing rhizobium using both pathways. Here we exami...

Objective: The present study aimed to determine the effect of two elicitors namely Methyl Jasmonate (MeJ) and Salicylic acid (SA) on adventitious root production of Psoralea corylifolia L. as the elicitors and at different concentrations. Methods: Adventitious roots of P. corylifolia L. were treated with different concentration of elicitors such as MeJ (10, 20, 30 and 40 μM/l) and SA (50, 100, ...
