Detection of Root, Butt, and Stem Rot presence in Norway spruce with hyperspectral imagery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-16)Pathogenic wood decay fungi such as species of Heterobasidion are some of the most serious forest pathogens in Europe, causing rot of tree boles and loss of growth, with estimated economic losses of eight hundred million ... -
Administration of spruce bark (Picea abies) extracts in young lambs exhibits anticoccidial efects but reduces milk intake and body weight gain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-23)Background Eimeria spp. are widespread apicomplexan parasites known to cause coccidiosis in livestock, resulting in reduced animal welfare and productivity, particularly in sheep. The treatment options are limited, and ... -
The effect of climate variability in the efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum against the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-09)Despite substantial efforts to control locusts they remain periodically a major burden in Africa, causing severe yield loss and hence loss of food and income. Distribution maps indicating the value of the basic reproduction ... -
Climate Change Alters Soil Water Dynamics under Different Land Use Types
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-25)Land use and management affect soil hydrological processes, and the impacts can be further enhanced and accelerated due to climate change. In this study, we analyzed the possible long-term effects of different land use ... -
Climatic and soil factors explain the two-dimensional spectrum of global plant trait variation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-23)Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still, we lack a global understanding of how ... -
Shift in tree species changes the belowground biota of boreal forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-20)The replacement of native birch with Norway spruce has been initiated in Norway to increase long-term carbon storage in forests. However, there is limited knowledge on the impacts that aboveground changes will have on the ... -
Host−Pathogen Interactions in Leaf Petioles of Common Ash and Manchurian Ash Infected with Hymenoscyphus fraxineus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-05)Some common ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior) show tolerance towards shoot dieback caused by the invasive ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. Leaf petioles are considered to serve as a pathogen colonization route to the shoots. ... -
Democratizing education: Open schooling engaged the less privileged in environmental sciences
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-08)Democratizing learning is essential for environmental sustainability. Less privileged areas are crucial in this regard. Informal education has great such potential, but often fails to reach the less privileged, and to ... -
Genetic studies of fall armyworm indicate a new introduction into Africa and identify limits to its migratory behavior
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-04)The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is native to the Americas and a major pest of corn and several other crops of economic importance. The species has characteristics that make it of particular concern ... -
Large herbivores facilitate the persistence of rare taxa under tundra warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-25)Ecological rarity, characterized by low abundance or limited distribution, is typical of most species, yet our understanding of what factors contribute to the persistence of rare species remains limited. Consequently, ... -
Triterpene Content in Flesh and Peel of Apples Grown on Different Rootstocks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-05)Advancements in rootstock breeding and selection have revolutionized the manner in which apples are grown throughout the world. Fruit tree breeding has typically focused on key horticultural characteristics. Even though ... -
Apple Fruit Growth and Quality Depend on the Position in Tree Canopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-12)Modern apple orchard systems should guarantee homogeneity of fruit internal and external qualities and fruit maturity parameters. However, when orchards reach productive age, a variation of these parameters takes place and ... -
Environmental Impact of Feeding with Infant Formula in Comparison with Breastfeeding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-24)Young children have unique nutritional requirements, and breastfeeding is the best option to support healthy growth and development. Concerns have been raised around the increasing use of milk-based infant formulas in ... -
A chromosome-level genome sequence assembly of the red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-16)Rubus idaeus L. (red raspberry), is a perennial woody plant species of the Rosaceae family that is widely cultivated in the temperate regions of world and is thus an economically important soft fruit species. It is prized ... -
Opportunities for mitigating soil compaction in Europe—Case studies from the SoilCare project using soil-improving cropping systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-02)Soil compaction (SC) is a major threat for agriculture in Europe that affects many ecosystem functions, such as water and air circulation in soils, root growth, and crop production. Our objective was to present the results ... -
Molecular Diagnostic Tools Applied for Assessing Microbial Water Quality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-22)Microbial water quality is of vital importance for human, animal, and environmental health. Notably, pathogenically contaminated water can result in serious health problems, such as waterborne outbreaks, which have caused ... -
Does Shoot Age Influence Biological and Chemical Properties in Black Currant (Ribes nigrum L.) Cultivars?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-24)The aim of this study was to examine the influence of shoot age on the biological and chemical properties of 13 black currant cultivars with different origins and ripening times. Phenological observations together with ... -
