There is little information about how and treatment to break the dormancy of the valuable medicinal plant Keluss. In this research, pre-germination priming with the osmotic solution was used to improve the germination percentage of Keluss.

Germination percentage was different based on the duration of priming and the concentration of priming. Based on the germination percentage 14 days after absorption, the most promising priming conditions were treatment with 0.4 and 0.3% KNO<sub>3</sub> for 72 h at a constant temperature of 2 °C and 0.2 to 0.4% KNO<sub>3</sub> for 48 h.

Given that its population is threatened by overexploitation for timber, poor seed production, and habitat destruction, it becomes important to project its distribution along environmental gradients to bolster our understanding of its conservation. This study thus examines the combined effect of overexploitation and climate change on its distribution in Nigeria. We used MaxEnt algorithm and spatial analysis module of ArcGIS to model the current and future habitat suitability of <em>T. scleroxylon</em> in Nigeria. We utilized 95 unique occurrence points and eight environmental variables (Bio7, Bio8, Bio9, Bio13, Bio14 & Bio18, elevation, and slope) to understand the response of the species to changing climates during the time periods 1970–2000, and to project species responses to temperature and precipitation in the years 2050 and 2070, using two Global Climate Models. Results indicated that the prediction of the suitable habitat for <em>T. scleroxylon</em> under the model was very reliable (AUC ≥ 0.9; TSS ≥ 0.6). Annual temperature range (Bio7) was the most influential bioclimatic variable for predicting habitat suitability and distribution for the species in Nigeria. Highly suitable habitat has an optimum temperature of 28.5 °C, precipitation ≤600 mm, an elevation of ≤400 m, and a slope of 90°; it is currently estimated at 23.3% of the total land cover, and predicted to reduce to <15% by the year 2050. The methods of SDM have a great potential in understanding species richness, and also provide data for the support of conservation strategies at local scales.

We studied the dietary patterns of striped hyenas in the anthropogenic landscape, located in the semi-arid region of Rajasthan, India. We collected and analyzed a total number of 127 scat samples from November 2019 to February 2022. The relative biomass and frequency of occurrence of the large-sized prey species (>30 kg) were higher in the striped hyena's diet. However, the species requires a wide range of smaller prey to enrich its diet and a total of twenty-one prey species have been recorded in the hyena diet. The diet diversity of the striped hyena computed by the Shannon-Weiner Index (<em>H</em>) was 3.28. The proportion of prey in the scats indicated that very large to large and medium-sized prey accounted for 95.7% of total dietary biomass and was mostly preferred by striped hyenas, which was probably consumed through scavenging. Livestock (cows, buffaloes, sheep, camels, and dogs) accounted for 56.54% of total dietary biomass. The higher amount of presence of livestock mammals in the scats suggests that striped hyenas may frequently visit human settlement areas, which could be influenced by high carcass availability. The presence of small prey such as mongoose, hares, foxes, and rats indicate that the striped hyenas might partially hunt the smaller animals or opportunistic feed.

At the same time, a good choice of herbicide and the identification of the best dose is essential to eliminate weeds and have a good yield of durum wheat.</p><p>This work concerns the identification of the best dose of Floramix used in the cultivation of durum wheat as well as the identification of the biological families of weeds competing with durum wheat in order to control them effectively. The test was conducted in the open field following a completely random device, three doses of herbicide were chosen, Dose1 (16 mg/ M2 (square meter)), Dose2 (32 mg/ M2 (square meter)), Dose 3 (64 mg/ M2 (square meter)) and control (Without Treatment).</p><p><span>The identification of the best dose makes it possible to avoid the unnecessary use of higher doses since the latter are very polluting, and the census of weeds makes it possible to move towards the more specialized use of herbicides to better control them the census of the most dominant botanical families is that of the dicots<span>, the primulaceae followed by the </span></span>fabaceae, on the other hand the poaceae (monocotyledons) come in 3rd position. The dicots appeared at the same time as the beginning of the culture, on the other hand the monocots appeared late.</p><p>The study conducted on the action of the herbicide Floramix on durum wheat (<strong><span><em>Triticum</em><em> durum desf. cv vitron</em></span></strong>). Allowed us to conclude that the high dose (64 mg/m2) has a negative impact on the yield parameters despite the elimination of all the weeds, with a low yield close to the Control Block with 24.56 Quintals / Hectar). While the recommended dose (32 mg/m2) records the best yield of 45.45 Quintals/Hectar, dose 1 comes second at (28.69 Quintals/Hectar), the use of an against dicots herbicide is recommended in order to eliminate the most competitive weeds.</p></div><div><h3>抽象的</h3><p>受杂草影响的全国谷物生产造成的损失估计占全国产量的 30% 至 50%。.</p><p>同时,选择好除草剂并确定最佳剂量对于除草和硬粒小麦的高产至关重要。这项工作涉及确定在硬粒小麦种植中使用的花卉组合 的最佳剂量,以及确定与硬粒小麦竞争的杂草生物学科以有效控制它们。试验采用完全随机装置,在开阔场地进行,选择三种剂量的除草剂,剂量1(16毫克/平方米平方米)、剂量2(32毫克/平方米(平方米))、剂量3(64毫克/平方米(平方米))和控制(未经处理)。确定最佳剂量可以避免不必要地使用更高剂量,因为后者污染严重,而杂草普查可以更专业地使用除草剂以更好地控制它们。占优势的植物科是双子叶植物,报春花科其次是豆科植物,另一方面,禾本科(单子叶植物)排在第三位。双子叶植物在培养开始的同时出现,而单子叶植物出现较晚。.</p><p>该研究是关于除草剂 弗洛拉米克斯 对硬粒小麦(硬粒小麦)的作用。 让我们得出结论,.</p><p>尽管消除了所有杂草,但高剂量 (64毫克/平方米) 对产量参数有负面影响,低产量接近 控制块 (24.56 公担 / 公顷)。 虽然推荐剂量 (32毫克/平方米) 记录的最佳产量为 45.45 公担/公顷,但剂量 1 位居第二(28.69 公担/公顷),建议使用反双子叶除草剂以消除最具竞争力的杂草。.</p><p><strong>关键字:</strong>弗洛拉米克斯;剂量; 硬质小麦; 杂草; 屈服</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7048,"journal":{"name":"生态学报","volume":"43 6","pages":"Pages 1001-1006"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71726212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
