Effects of moss restoration on surface runoff and initial soil erosion in a temperate vineyard by C. Gall, S. Oldenburg, M. Nebel, T. Scholten, S. Seitz

“…Sediment discharge varied seasonally for moss restoration, especially from April to June; this is most likely due to the decline in moss cover and the foliage of the vines in June, as concentrated canopy drip points form on the leaves and woody surfaces of the vines, increasing erosion. …”

Bio-ecological characteristics of Malus genus species in the context of prospective directions in horticulture and landscape forestry by Tetiana Moskalets, Oleksandr Kratiuk, Mariana Ivankiv, Sergii Shevchenko, Nataliia Shevchuk

“…The results established that domestic apple (cultivar Dozhnytsia), hybrid crab apple, and plum-leaved apple exhibited high resistance to this pathogen, which affects both foliage and fruit. The practical application of these findings lies in enriching the informational database on Malus species with updated data, enabling their utilisation in various thematic studies…”

Response of Tree Seedlings to a Combined Treatment of Particulate Matter, Ground-Level Ozone, and Carbon Dioxide: Primary Effects by Valentinas Černiauskas, Iveta Varnagirytė-Kabašinskienė, Ieva Čėsnienė, Emilis Armoška, Valda Araminienė

“…The main objectives of this paper were to evaluate the seedling stem growth response and the biochemical response of seedling foliage to pollutant exposure. Four treatments were performed on two- to three-year-old seedlings of the selected tree species: with PM (0.4 g per seedling) under combined O₃ = 180 ppb + CO₂ = 650 ppm; without PM under combined O₃ = 180 ppb + CO₂ = 650 ppm; with PM (0.4 g per seedling) under combined O₃ < 40–45 ppb + CO₂ < 400 ppm; and without PM under combined O₃ < 40–45 ppb + CO₂ < 400 ppm. …”

Breeding bird communities of the pine forests in the forest-steppe zone by A. Atemasov, T. Atemasova

“…We registered 39 breeding bird species during point counts; of them 3 were cavity excavators, 13 were secondary cavity users, 13 were tree and 3 were shrub foliage nesters and 6 were ground nesters. There were 7 trunk-foraging species, 15 canopy-foraging species, 3 shrub-foraging species, and 12 ground-foraging species. …”

Pertumbuhan Bibit Vanili Akibat Penambahan Zat Pengatur Tumbuh Alami pada Media Tanam yang Diperkaya Bakteri by Dwi Erwin Kusbianto, Satria Wahyu Ramadhan Firdaus, Gatot Subroto, Distiana Wulanjari, Hasbi Mubarak Su’ud

“…The research found interaction in several variables, such as rate of shoot emergence, stem diameter, tendril length, number of foliages, and number of adventitious roots. The combination of PSB and goat urine treatment is the recommended combination because apart from producing interaction with the variables of tendril length, number of foliages, and number of adventitious roots, it is also capable of producing the number, volume, and length of the roots in the soil, also the fresh weight of the plants significantly compared to other treatments. …”
