Based on the evaluation of 3,902 local floristic references published between 2005 and 2025, an update to the floristic knowledge map of Italy is presented. To measure the progress in floristic knowledge across Italy’s administrative regions, the ‘Index of Floristic Knowledge Advancement’ (IFA) is proposed here. This index categorizes regions based on the proportion of potential improvement that has actually been achieved. Res...
Boswellia serrata dry extract with intestinal anti-inflammatory properties also accelerates gastric ulcer healing in ratsNARA Subscribed
Boswellia serrata is a medicinal plant traditionally used to treat inflammatory conditions and this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of B. serrata dry extract (BSDE) in treating gastric ulcers and ulcerative colitis. Chronic gastric ulcers were induced using 80% acetic acid. For seven days, rats were given oral doses of BSDE (30, 100, or 300 mg/kg), omeprazole (40 mg/kg), or vehicle. Ulcer area, mucin content, and biochemi...
Identifying sustainability priorities among value chain actors in artisanal common octopus fisheriesNARA Subscribed
The United Nations (UN) Decade of Ocean Science highlights a need to improve the way in which scientific results effectively inform action and policies regarding the ocean. Our research contributes to achieving this goal by identifying practical actions, barriers, stakeholder contributions and resources required to increase the sustainability of activities carried out in the context of artisanal fisheries to meet UN Sustainabl...
Identifying soil-plant interactions in a mixed-age orange orchard using electrical resistivity imagingNARA Subscribed
Background and aims The ever-increasing demand of fresh water from irrigated agriculture and the water scarcity condition that characterizes the Mediterranean region, encourages the adoption of efficient water saving strategies. In this study, the electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) technique was applied for characterizing the mass exchange mechanisms affecting the continuous soil-plant system of heterogeneous micro-irrigated...
Influence of short-term surface temperature dynamics on tree orchards energy balance fluxesNARA Subscribed
Land surface temperature (LST) plays an essential role in developing and applying precision agriculture protocols, especially for calculating crop evapotranspiration (ET c ) by surface energy balance (SEB) approaches; and for determining crop water status. However, LST is quite dependent on the meteorological conditions, which can rapidly vary. This variability, together with the limited meterological data acquisition frequenc...
Knock out of sHSP genes determines some modifications in the probiotic attitude of Lactiplantibacillus plantarumNARA Subscribed
Objective We investigated whether the knock out of small heat shock protein (sHSP) genes ( hsp1 , hsp2 and hsp3 ) impact on probiotic features of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum WCFS1, aiming to find specific microbial effectors involved in microbe-host interplay. Results The probiotic properties of L. plantarum WCFS1 wild type, hsp1 , hsp2 and hsp3 mutant clones were evaluated and compared through in vitro trials. Oro-gastro-in...
Electrical resistivity imaging for monitoring soil water motion patterns under different drip irrigation scenariosNARA Subscribed
The use of hydrogeophysical methods provides insights for supporting optimal irrigation design and management. In the present study, the electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) was applied for monitoring the soil water motion patterns resulting from the adoption of water deficit scenarios in a micro-irrigated orange orchard (Eastern Sicily, Italy). The relationship of ERI with independent ancillary data of soil water content (SWC...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
