Predicting species geographic distributions is key to managing invasive species, conserving biodiversity, and understanding species' environmental requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) commonly focus on climatic predictors, but other factors can also be essential, particularly for with specialized habitats defined by hydrologic, topographic, or edaphic conditions (e.g., riparian, wet...

The antinociceptive effect of Elaeagnus angustifolia fruits was studied in mice. The antinociceptive effect of ethanolic and boiling water extracts was studied using two thermal stimuli, the hot-plate and tail-flick tests. The intraperitoneal and oral administration of the ethanolic extract of seed 0.75-7.00 g/kg), but not pericarp and medulla had significant antinociceptive activity in the...

Afforestation, particularly with the use of N2-fixing trees (NFTs), is an option for ecological restoration of salinized, irrigated croplands in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River. But current knowledge of enhanced juvenile tree growth and their N2 fixation rates is sparse for the marginal irrigated croplands of the Khorezm Region of Uzbekistan. A superior understanding would increase pro...

Many natural processes in the riparian cottonwood (Populus deltoides) forest of the Middle Rio Grande (MRG) in the southwestern United States have been disrupted or altered, allowing non-native plants such as saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) and Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) to establish. We investigated reptilian responses to restoration efforts by sampling communities of lizards at 12 study ...

Modelling and analysis of spatiotemporal characteristics plant invasion can help in mapping predicting the spread invasive plants. The aim our research was to investigate variability five common species (Ailanthus altissima, Asclepias syriaca, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Robinia pseudoacacia, Solidago spp.) within different land cover (ecosystem)-type categories. basis study National Geospatial Dat...

BACKGROUND The purposes of this study were: to determine the prevalence of sensitization and immunochemical characterization of Eleagnus angustifolia pollen (Russian olive) that belongs to the family Eleagnaceae. METHODS A total of 134 patients with rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma were studied. Its allergenicity, cross-reactivity with olive pollen and the presence of Ole e 1 and Ole e 4-lik...
