The Potential of Cistus salviifolius L. to Phytostabilize Gossan Mine Wastes Amended with Ash and Organic Residues

Luisa C. Carvalho et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of C. salviifolius to stabilize gossan mine wastes amended with organic and inorganic wastes for faster environmental rehabilitation. The mine wastes have high concentrations of PHE and low concentrations of organic carbon and nutrients. The best vegetative development occurs in Technosols containing a mixture of agriculture residues, with no visible signs of toxicity.

Seasonal fires shape the germinable soil seed bank community in eastern Mediterranean woodlands

Neta Manela et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of seasonal fires and microhabitat types on the composition of the germinable soil seed bank community in an eastern Mediterranean woodland. The results showed that fire significantly reduced the density, richness, and diversity of the germinable soil seed bank, and these effects varied among different microhabitat types. The findings suggest that the increase in the frequency of seasonal fires in the eastern Mediterranean basin may lead to a shift in eco-evolutionary selection pressures on plant species in this unique ecosystem.

The antimicrobial capacity of Cistus salviifolius and Punica granatum plant extracts against clinical pathogens is related to their polyphenolic composition

Francisco Javier Alvarez-Martinez et al.

Summary: The study found that extracts from Cistus salviifolius and Punica granatum have different antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and this activity is linked to the resistance profile of the bacteria to specific antibiotics, which could aid in the development of combination therapies including botanical extracts.

Rehabilitation of waste rock piles: Impact of acid drainage on potential toxicity by trace elements in plants and soil

Paula Madejon et al.

Summary: The research evaluated the restoration of a waste rock pile in Spain by lime amendments, added topsoil and planted vegetation, successfully establishing woody vegetation on the upper part of the pile to create a greener landscape. However, the lower slopes lacked vegetation due to acid mine drainage causing soil acidification and increased trace elements availability.

Native Plant Capacity for Gentle Remediation in Heavily Polluted Mines

Maria Noelia Jimenez et al.

Summary: The study focused on the bioaccumulation of trace elements in three Mediterranean plant species and found that none of them had high enough bioaccumulation factors to be considered as phytoextractors. However, these plants, which live in soils with a wide range of trace element concentrations and develop considerable biomass, could be considered for the stabilization of contaminated soils. The plant species studied in this research are potential candidates for gentle-remediation options in polluted Mediterranean environments.

Effects of Increasing Doses of Condensed Tannins Extract from Cistus ladanifer L. on In Vitro Ruminal Fermentation and Biohydrogenation

Olinda Guerreiro et al.

Summary: Extracts of Cistus ladanifer condensed tannins showed moderate effects on rumen fermentation, with a decrease in volatile fatty acids production and microbial fatty acids. However, the biohydrogenation process was minimally affected, suggesting a possible adaptative response of the microbial population to the stress induced by the tannins.

8,000 years of climate, vegetation, fire and land-use dynamics in the thermo-mediterranean vegetation belt of northern Sardinia (Italy)

Tiziana Pedrotta et al.

Summary: The study presents the vegetation and fire history, as well as environmental dynamics, of the past 8,000 years in Lago di Baratz in north-west Sardinia. It reveals that vegetation types changed multiple times over the period, with human activities also influencing the evolution of vegetation and the environment.

Polyphenol Diversity and Antioxidant Activity of European Cistus creticus L. (Cistaceae) Compared to Six Further, Partly Sympatric Cistus Species

Brigitte Lukas et al.

Summary: This study focused on the polyphenolic composition of Cistus creticus and six other Cistus species, finding differences in the chemical profiles which allowed for classification into two chemovariants. Plants with punicalagin derivatives and flavonol glycosides were abundant in the western Mediterranean, while those in Albania and eastwards had a nearly pure flavonol type. C. creticus showed a median antioxidative capacity of about half of the species with the highest antioxidative potential.

Enhancement of ecosystem carbon uptake in a dry shrubland under moderate warming: The role of nitrogen-driven changes in plant morphology

Dario Liberati et al.

Summary: The findings reveal that moderate night-time warming significantly influences the morphology of plants in Mediterranean shrublands, leading to a notable enhancement in ecosystem carbon fluxes. This is primarily attributed to increased leaf number, relatively larger leaves, and denser canopies supporting higher plant photosynthesis rates.

Intraspecific Genetic Diversity of Cistus creticus L. and Evolutionary Relationships to Cistus albidus L. (Cistaceae): Meeting of the Generations?

Brigitte Lukas et al.

Summary: Cistus, a genus of white- and purple-flowering shrubs widely distributed in the Mediterranean basin, faces taxonomic uncertainties. Cistus creticus, a prominent member of the purple-flowered clade, integrates two major evolutionary lineages with different genetic characteristics. The Eastern and Western Mediterranean clades exhibit distinct genetic features, with possible hybridization events shaping the genetic complexity of the latter.
