A sustainable, fast, feasible, and controlled approach is reported for the synthesis of silver nanoparticle (AgNP). The extract from natural ash plant (Fraxinus excelsior) flower was used as bio-based reducing stabilizing agent to synthesize AgNPs AgNO3 precursor. quantitative analysis AgNP performed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (iCP-OES) ...

Abstract Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, causal agent of Ash Dieback, has posed a threat to Fraxinus excelsior (common ash) in Europe since the 1990s. In south-western Europe, optimal climatic conditions for H. fraxineus become scattered and host density decreases, reducing disease spread rates . To date, Dieback not been reported from southern most central Italy, where native F. is present as small f...

Transpiration of two heterogeneous broad-leaved woodlands in southern England was monitored by the sap flux technique throughout the 2006 growing season. Grimsbury Wood, which had a leaf area index (LAI) of 3.9, was dominated by oak (Quercus robur L.) and birch (Betula pubescens L.) and had a continuous hazel (Corylus avellana L.) understory. Wytham Woods, which had an LAI of 3.6, was dominated...

Prociphilus fraxinifolii (woolly ash aphid) is a pest of trees (Fraxinus spp.). This species, which native to North America, was first recorded in Europe 2003, Budapest, and then began spread quickly. In 2019–2021, we detected P. Belarus (Brest) eight regions European Russia, namely Astrakhan, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Saratov, Smolensk, Tambov, Volgograd Voronezh regions. By 2021, has over vast...
