Thakur M., Bhatt A., Sharma V. & Mathur V. (2024): Interplay of heavy metal accumulation, physiological responses, and microbiome dynamics in lichens: insights and future directions - Environmental Monitoring and Assessment , 196: 926 [21 p.]

Lichens are increasingly recognised as valuable bioindicators for environmental heavy metal pollution due to their sensitivity to spatial and temporal variations in pollution levels and their ability to adapt to diverse and often harsh habitats. This review initially examines the mechanisms of metal absorption in lichens, including particulate entrapment, ion exchange, and intracellular absorption, as well as their physiological responses to abiotic stressors such as heavy metal exposure and desiccation. … Read more...

Zotz G. & Cascante-Marín A. (2024): Life on the wire—plant growth on power lines in the Americas - Diversity, 16(9): 573 [13 p.]

There are a number of rather anecdotal reports of plant growth on power cables in the Americas, but until now there has been no systematic attempt to gauge the geographical extension of this phenomenon nor a documentation of the diversity of species found there. Using observations from the participatory science data platform iNaturalist and the scientific literature, we document almost 700 occurrences of more than 40 species of vascular plants and three lichen species on power cables with a geographical … Read more...

Said S., Bounouira H., Amsil H., Aarab I., Badague A., El Basraoui S., Moussaif A. & Benazzouz B. (2024): Major and trace elements determination in organic and conventional Moroccan vegetables using the k0-standardisation method of neutron activation analysis - Nuclear Analysis, 3: 100127 [7 p.]

The aim of the present work is the determination of different essential (minor and trace) elements found in five Moroccan vegetables collected from large commercial markets in Kenitra city, Morocco, and in some organic vegetables which were traditionally grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, in a plot located in the rural commune of Dar Laaslouji, 48 km from Kenitra city. The k0-standardisation method of the Neutron Activation Analysis (k0-INAA) using the TRIGA Mark II … Read more...

Liu Y., Ren J., Wang W., Shi Y., Gao Y., Zhan H., Luo Y. & Jia R. (2024): Vascular plants and biocrusts ameliorate soil properties serving to increase the stability of the Great Wall of China - Science of the Total Environment, 951: 175506 [12 p.]

• Vascular plants and biocrusts exhibit high species diversity and resilience to harsh conditions on the Great Wall. • Vascular plants and biocrusts promote the stability of aggregates by facilitating the accumulation of SOC, Feo and Alo. • Vascular plants and biocrusts represent an effective nature-based method for protecting the Great Wall from erosion. erosion from wind and rain. Vascular plants and biocrusts are the main coverings of the Great Wall, and their role in mitigating … Read more...

Lindsay C.A., Tan C.Y., Krishnan D., Uchenik D., Anaya Eugenio G.D., Salinas E.D., Carcache de Blanco E.J., Kinghorn A.D. & Rakotondraibe H.L. (2024): Steroids and epicoccarines from Penicillium aurantiancobrunneum - Phytochemistry Letters, 63: 79–86

Highlights • Two new sterols (1 and 2) and two new epicoccarine derivatives (3 and 4) are described. • These were produced by Penicillium aurantiacobrunneum, of the lichen Niebla homalea. • (20 S*)-Hydroxy-24(28)-dehydrocampesterol (1) was weakly cytotoxic against the HPAC pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line. • A plausible biogenetic route was proposed for the formation of the epicoccarine derivatives. Lichens are symbiotic organisms comprised of mycobionts and photobiont … Read more...

Kepfer-Rojas S., Ovaskainen O., Møller P.F., Johannsen V.K., Byriel D.B., Justesen M.J., Riis-Nielsen T., Hansen A.K., Gottlieb L. & Schmidt I.K. (2024): Beyond species richness: Forest structure and edaphic conditions have similar importance but different effects on multi-taxon biodiversity - Forest Ecology and Management, 571: 122230 [9 p.]

Highlights • Species richness alone provides limited insight into the effects of forest management on biodiversity. • Species-level analysis reveals the intricate relationship between forest structure, soil conditions, and species diversity. • Lichens and fungi respond positively to natural forest structures, underscoring their role as ecological indicators. • Incorporating species-level analysis unveils patterns overlooked by traditional metrics. Managed forests represent … Read more...

(2024): Exploring the multiple drivers of alpha and beta-diversity dynamics in Europe’s primary forests: Informing conservation strategies - Forest Ecology and Management, 571: 122229 [10 p.]

Highlights • Levels of beta-diversity were high and predominantly driven by spatial turnover. • Each primary forest fragment had a unique species composition. • Spatial turnover was significantly higher than nestedness. • Forest maturity significantly influenced the occurrence of red-listed species. • Deadwood variability is more critical for forest-dwelling taxa than its volume. Addressing the scope of biodiversity loss is a societal issue. However, consensus regarding … Read more...

[Sinichkin E.A.] (2023): Биоэкологическая характеристика лихенофлоры государственного природного заповедника «Присурский» (Чувашская Республика) [Bioecological characteristics of lichenoflora of the Prisursky State Nature Reserve (Chuvash Republic)] - Самарский научный вестник [Samara Scientific Bulletin], 12(4): 122–128

[in Russian with English abstract: ] The article presents a taxonomic and ecological-biomorphological analysis of the lichenoflora of the Alatyrsky site of the Prisursky State Nature Reserve. The State Nature Reserve consists of 3 clusters (Alatyrsky, Batyrevsky, Yalchiksky). The Alatyrsky section of the reserve is located in the central part of the Prisursky forest area and is represented by various types of forest. As a result of the analysis of the literature and our own field research, 145 … Read more...

Leksin I., Shelyakin M., Zakhozhiy I., Kozlova O., Beckett R. & Minibayeva F. (2024): Ultraviolet-induced melanisation in lichens: physiological traits and transcriptome profile - Physiologia Plantarum, 176(5): e14512 [16 p.]

Lichens are important components of high-latitude boreal and Arctic habitats. While stress tolerant, they are among the most sensitive ecosystem components to climate change, in particular, an increase in ultraviolet light (UV) arising from polar ozone depletion and deforestation. This study is the first to explore the effects of UV-B on gene expression in lichens to predict metabolic pathways involved in tolerance. Using transcriptome profiling and bioinformatic analyses, here we studied the effects … Read more...
