Mapping species richness of plant families in European vegetation
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021)
Biodiversity is traditionally studied mostly at the species level, but biogeographical and macroecological studies at higher taxonomic levels can provide valuable insights into the evolutionary processes at large spatial ...
Effects of Liming and Nutrient Management on Yield and Other Parameters of Potato Productivity on Acid Soils in Montenegro
(MDPI AG, 2021)
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of liming (CaCO3 1000 kg ha−1 ) and application of organic fertilizers (rotted farmyard manure 40 t ha−1 ) and six different combination of mineral fertilizers: NPK 15:15:15 ...
Competition between Ambrosia artemisiifolia and Ambrosia trifida: Is there a threat of a stronger competitor?
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Recent reports of the presence of Ambrosia trifida (AT) in areas infested by A. artemisiifolia (AA) in Serbia warn of the impending establishment of a more damaging crop weed. Here, we test the potential competitive effects ...
Testing macroecological abundance patterns: The relationship between local abundance and range size, range position and climatic suitability among European vascular plants
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2020)
Aim A fundamental question in macroecology centres around understanding the relationship between species' local abundance and their distribution in geographical and climatic space (i.e. the multi-dimensional climatic space ...
Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Properties of Field-Grown and In Vitro Leaves, and Calluses in Blackberry and Blueberry
(MDPI, 2021)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the content and profile of the phenolic compounds (PCs) and antioxidant properties of field-grown leaves, in vitro leaves and in vitro callus cultures of the blackberry ‘Čačanska ...
Eriophyid Mites in Classical Biological Control of Weeds: Progress and Challenges
(MDPI AG, 2021)
A classical biological control agent is an exotic host-specific natural enemy, which is intentionally introduced to obtain long-term control of an alien invasive species. Among the arthropods considered for this role, ...
Functional properties of wheat kernels (Triticumaestivum L.) during storage
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The method of storage has, in the long run, a negative effect on the quality of wheat kernels, due to physiological ageing of its cells.The quality of the kernels was assessed during the storage, giving the predefined ...
Broad range of substrate specificities in papain and fig latex enzymes preparations improve enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Numerous applications of proteolytic enzymes include dissociation of fermented meat products for the enumeration of 'foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The use of trypsin for this cause is abandoned due to the high concentration ...
The conversion of forestland into agricultural land without appropriate measures to conserve SOM leads to the degradation of physical and rheological soil properties
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2020)
This study was conducted to compare soil particle density (rho (s)), soil total porosity (TP), liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), and plasticity index, and their relations with soil organic matter (SOM), of non-carbonate ...
Differential response of two tomato genotypes, wild type cv. Ailsa craig and its aba-deficient mutant flacca to short-termed drought cycles
(MDPI, 2021)
Two tomato genotypes with constitutively different ABA level, flacca mutant and wild type of Ailsa Craig cv. (WT), were subjected to three repeated drought cycles, with the aim to reveal the role of the abscisic acid (ABA) ...
