The environmental impact of invasive species necessitates creating a strategy for managing their spread by utilising them as source potentially high-value raw materials. Amelanchier × spicata (Lam.) K. Koch (dwarf serviceberry) is shrub in the Rosaceae Juss. family. evaluation different populations plants that accumulate great amounts biologically active compounds requisite quality determination plant materials and medicinal nutritional products. assessment natural resources from phytogeographic point view relevant. Phytochemical analysis A. leaf samples was carried out using spectrophotometric methods, HPLC-PDA, HPLC-MS techniques, while antioxidant activity determined ABTS, FRAP, CUPRAC assays. A significant diversification phenolic collected habitats. Due to characteristic chemical heterogeneity, habitats lead diversity indicators characterising Chlorogenic acid neochlorogenic acid, well quercitrin, rutin, hyperoside, were found be predominant among compounds. Thus, these can considered phytochemical markers, material northern Europe.

Expanded usage of polyethylene film in different industries lead to accumulation plastics the environment, which cause pollution and toxicity life forms. It can be replaced by bioplastics are biodegradable, biocompatible, eco-friendly, obtained from renewable sources at low cost such as plant weeds. The biopolymer, cellulose extracted aquatic weeds since they abundantly available system, easy safe handle, biocompatible. Pontederia crassipes an floating weed, widely dispersed surface polluted rivers ponds. Directed remove water bodies EPA due its negative impacts on animal collected biomass cannot used a feed presence polyphenols nitrates. In current study, about 30% was delignification bleaching weed river. Extracted converted into another form derived polymer, known carboxy methyl (CMC) treating with monochloro acetic acid. Biodegradable bioplastic prepared using gelatin gelling agent glycerol plasticizer varying concentrations. Properties cellulose, CMC, were analyzed measuring thickness, tensile strength, elongation point, FTIR, antioxidant assay. About 25.7 µm thickness biofilm exhibited higher strength 55.3 MPa dry, 45.5 wet condition 24 µg/ml activity observed. This research highlights potential utilizing hyacinth, typically problematic develop sustainable biopolymers that address growing environmental concerns associated conventional plastic waste. Thus, this work provides biological approach prepare for commercial applications. While, is costly, suitable, cheap alternative need identified reduce production film. However, further efforts required enhance scalability product.

Modeling the Impact of Water Hyacinth on Evapotranspiration in the Chongón Reservoir Using Remote Sensing Techniques: Implications for Aquatic Ecology and Invasive Species Management

Hydrology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 12(4), С. 80 - 80

Опубликована: Апрель 2, 2025

The proliferation of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in the Chongón Reservoir, located within Parque Lago National Recreation Area Guayaquil, Ecuador, poses significant challenges to local aquatic ecosystem and resource management. This study assesses impact coverage on evapotranspiration rates over a 20-year period from 2002 2022 using remote sensing data geospatial analysis. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), derived Landsat satellite imagery, along with meteorological records, was utilized model spatial temporal dynamics its effects evapotranspiration. Our results indicate that fluctuates significantly between rainy dry seasons, increasing covering 10.42% reservoir area peak 42.33% 2017 during seasons. A strong positive correlation (r=0.92, p<0.001) found net daily loss due associated were higher season (mean 2309.90 mm/year) compared 1917.87 mm/year). These elevated contribute increased reservoir, potentially impacting availability for municipal agricultural use. Controlling spread is therefore crucial preserving reservoir’s ecological integrity ensuring sustainable findings this provide valuable insights informing management strategies aimed at mitigating invasive species freshwater resources maintaining health.

A Review on Harnessing the Invasive Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) for Use as an Agricultural Soil Amendment

Land, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(5), С. 1116 - 1116

Опубликована: Май 20, 2025

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a globally invasive aquatic weed with high biomass productivity and nutrient content, offering potential as low-cost organic soil amendment. This review synthesizes findings from 35 studies identified through structured Web of Science search, examining its use mulch, compost, biochar, foliar extract. Reported agronomic benefits include improvements in carbon, availability (particularly nitrogen potassium), microbial activity, crop yields. However, most are short-term conducted under greenhouse or pot conditions, limiting field-scale generalizability. Additionally, reporting compost composition contaminant levels inconsistent, raising concerns about food safety. While logistical economic feasibility remain underexplored, emerging evidence suggests that proper processing, water amendments could reduce fertilizer dependence contribute to circular bioeconomy goals. Future research should prioritize field trials, standardized production protocols, life cycle assessments evaluate long-term performance, risks, climate benefits.
