ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF A PEAT BOG FROM NORTHEASTERN ROMANIA by Gheorghe BĂDĂLUȚĂ, Carmen Andreea BĂDĂLUȚĂ, Marcel MÎNDRESCU, Diana ISTRATE, Ionuț Bogdan NIGA

“…The presence of gravel and sand at the base of the peat deposit, along with surface morphological evidence, supports the hypothesis that this peatland originated in an ancient paleomeander. pH analysis indicates that the peatland is mesotrophic, while granulometric and LOI analyses suggest a fluviogenic origin.The significant changes observed in the sedimentary structure of the peatland may be attributed to climate change, with potential anthropogenic influences over the past 50 years. …”

Important alien and potential native invasive insect pests of key fruit trees in Sub-Saharan Africa: advances in sustainable pre- and post-harvest management approaches by Shepard Ndlela, Saliou Niassy, Samira A. Mohamed

“…Millions of farmers derive livelihoods from mango, avocado, citrus, cashew, and coconut farming, but native and alien invasive species constrain production The region’s capacity to contain invasives is weak due to the absence of national and institutional support systems for early detection, containment, eradication, or management of the pests. Climate change is expected to play a huge role in the influx of more alien invasive species and the shift of ecological requirements of some native species. …”
