In our paper we synthesize ecological theory and empirical evidence to show that fire is not only a disturbance to be suppressed, but also a fundamental ecological driver that shapes biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and landscape structure. @frontiersin.bsky.social doi.org/10.3389/ffgc...

Enhanced Nickel Uptake in Mixed Plant Communities of Hyperaccumulator and Non‐Hyperaccumulator Species Under Nickel Stress
This study investigated how species richness and biotope space affect phytoextracted nickel mass. Growing monocultures and bicultures of two endemic species across a nickel stress gradient revealed t...

Πίσω από κάθε λουλούδι που ανθίζει, κάθε καρπό που φτάνει στο τραπέζι μας, κρύβεται η αθέατη δουλειά χιλιάδων εντόμων που μεταφέρουν γύρη από άνθος σε άνθος – οι λεγόμενοι επικονιαστές. Το πρώτο εθνικό σχέδιο για την προστασία τους είναι υπό αξιολόγηση.
Ελληνικό σχέδιο διάσωσης για τις μέλισσες και τις πεταλούδες
Ο ρόλος τους στην αναπαραγωγή των περισσότερων άγριων και καλλιεργούμενων φυτών – Απειλούνται από τα φυτοφάρμακα και την ανεξέλεγκτη μελισσοκομία.
