Shaped by Vegetal Matters
Tracing lines of vegetal influence and affect, Shaped by Vegetal Matters: Phyto-Influence on Humans, Other Animals, and Place describes how plants influence and shape humans, their relations with other animals, and place. Highlighting vegetal matters related to four plant species and the triad of plants-elephants-humans in Sri Lanka, each case study opens up multi-directional influences across situated multispecies social milieus. From jacaranda trees in Australia, to wapato on a river island in the United States, to willow and weavers in Denmark, to sugarcane plantations in Sri Lanka, to dying yet mythic ash trees, features emerge of human-plant social intimacies, power dynamics, and intersubjectivities. A central glue of plant-human relations is poiesis, meaning the creation of something new, yet etymologically related to the poetic. Beyond explorations of poiesis, the vegetal offers an epistemology of recursion that is relevant for understanding place-based relationships. Elizabeth Oriel presents vegetal influence in analytical and descriptive styles, reflecting multispecies ethnography and other analytics brought to vegetal matters.

Plants of Big Bend National Park
Plants of Big Bend National Park was originally published in 1951 by noted botanists W. B. McDougall and Omer E. Sperry, and was based on several years of fieldwork in this remote corner of Texas, plus consultation with numerous scientists. This new 2025 edition has been extensively revised and updated to reflect current botanical nomenclature, reformatted in a new layout, and illustrated with more than 400 color photographs. In all, over 600 of the more than 1,200 plant species of the Park are described, including trees, shrubs, 'wildflowers', cacti, and ferns. Excluded are grasses (as well as sedges and rushes), which although an important part of the Park's flora, can be quite difficult to identify; also excluded from this book are non-vascular plants such as mosses and liverworts. To help with identification, the plants are arranged by plant family, and the descriptions are written in largely non-technical terms (botanical terms used are defined in a glossary). A list of additional references, and both scientific name and common name indexes are provided. The book will be of interest to anyone wanting to learn more about the diverse plant life found in the harsh environment of Big Bend National Park.
Moss and Lichen
A fascinating guide to the natural and cultural significance of mosses and lichens. Moss and Lichen is a celebration of the extraordinary biology, beauty, and resilience of two unassuming organisms. Endowed with unique abilities to thrive in extreme habitats, mosses and lichens defy easy categorization. Mosses, which are integral to the plant kingdom, and lichens, which are a kingdom unto themselves, colonize a variety of landscapes from rainforests to deserts to urban streets. Long neglected for lacking flowers, these organisms are now beloved for their significant role in maintaining the health of our world's ecosystem. Elizabeth Lawson describes how mosses and lichens shape landscapes, prevent erosion, and sequester carbon, but she also offers a wide-ranging introduction to the biologists, artists, and writers inspired by their beauty. Moss and Lichen will inspire a newfound appreciation for these unsung heroes of the natural world.
Floristic and phytosociological survey of the caatinga
The aim was to get to know the floristic composition and phytosociology, obtaining data to compare with another area of caatinga (at a different stage of succession), and subsequently obtaining information to better understand the successional characterisation of caatinga environments. The vegetation survey was carried out in an area of 1.0 hectare in the C籀rrego do Quixinx矇 settlement, which covers 5,561.63 hectares and is located in the municipality of Ocara - CE with geographical coordinates 04簞36'49.8' South Latitude and 38簞36'51' West Longitude. The area was divided into 50 plots measuring 20m x 10m. After this division, the plots were drawn completely at random. The phytosociological survey was carried out in the same order as the plots were drawn. In each plot, live individuals with a stem diameter at ground level >= 3 cm and a total height >= 1 m were measured. Cacti, bromeliads and lianas were not included. Twelve species were recorded, belonging to 11 genera and 7 botanical families, totalling 702 individuals with basal area = 3.47 m簡/ha and DA= 702 ind/ha.
Monitoring oil palm pests in the south of the state of Roraima
The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) or dendezeiro as it is known in Brazil, is a palm tree of African origin typical of tropical regions, and in Brazil, the largest cultivated areas are in the Amazon region. Oil palm is a crop that is very susceptible to pest and disease infestation. Among the pests that infest this oilseed are rodents and insects, and among the diseases, the red ring (AV), fusariosis or lethal scale (SL), fatal yellowing. In palm growing, phytosanitary problems related to attacks by insect pests have a significant economic impact, resulting in significant productivity losses. Among the insect pests found in the crop, Rhynchophorus palmarum L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Metamasius hemipterus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) stand out. These beetles make galleries in the apical meristem of palm trees, causing a reduction in tillering and the opening of the holes can serve as a gateway for phytopathogens.

Salinity in string bean plants cv. Piti繳ba
The use of water of dubious quality in irrigation can be harmful to plants, so the aim of this work is to assess the effects of salinity and the chemical composition of irrigation water on growth, gas exchange, mineral nutrition and the levels of organic solutes in cowpea plants [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] cv. Piti繳ba. The plants were grown in pots in a greenhouse and subjected to 4 different electrical conductivities of the irrigation water. During the experimental period, the transpiration rate, net photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll content and stomatal conductance were measured, as well as analysing the electrical conductivity of the percolated water and the substrate, in addition to the morphological characteristics of the plants, showing their development when subjected to the salinity of the irrigation water.

It then transitions to planting equipment, highlighting seed drills and planters that ensure precise seed placement for optimal growth. As crops grow, the importance of maintenance machinery, including tractors and sprayers, which are vital for irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Finally, the narrative culminates in the harvesting phase, showcasing combines and harvesters that efficiently gather crops while minimizing loss. Throughout the summary, the technological advancements in farm machinery are underscored, illustrating how they have transformed agricultural productivity, reduced labor costs, and contributed to sustainable farming practices. Overall, the piece highlights the integral connection between machinery and successful crop production, revealing how innovation continues to shape the future of agriculture.
Genotixicity of Paraquat Herbicide on Maize
This study investigates the genotoxic effects of paraquat, a non-selective herbicide, on maize (Zea mays) through controlled exposure at concentrations of 0.2, 0.6, and 0.8 mg/L. Gel electrophoresis and clustering analysis were employed to assess DNA fragmentation and genetic response, with distilled water-treated samples serving as controls. Results showed a concentration-dependent increase in DNA damage, marked by intensified DNA band fragmentation at 0.6 and 0.8 mg/L concentrations, indicating significant oxidative stress and potential genetic compromise. The control samples exhibited minimal genetic alteration, highlighting the herbicide-free baseline. Clustering analysis supported these findings, grouping higher concentrations together, suggesting similar genotoxic impacts at near-toxicity thresholds. These results align with existing literature on herbicide-induced oxidative damage in maize and underscore the need for cautious paraquat application in agricultural contexts.
