TL;DR: In this article, the authors have extensively reviewed the status of research into sugarcane bagasse-based biosorbents in raw and modified forms and explored their efficacy in the removal of pollutants.

TL;DR: The essential oil of Xanthium strumarium showed weak 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical scavenging activity with IC50 321, which was comparable to ascorbic acid as a reference, but exhibited significant allelopathic potential regarding the germination and growth of the noxious weed Bidens pilosa in a concentration-dependent manner.

TL;DR: C. plicata essential oil could give a hope toward production of eco-friendly bio herbicides at least against B. pilosa and U. picroides and also as a source of natural antioxidants that could be used as food additives.

TL;DR: The present study characterizes the community of Brassica tournefortii Gouan in reclaimed areas of the Nile Delta of Egypt to determine its ecological amplitude, soil factors controlling its distribution, and its allelopathic control.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that during litter decomposition invasive species litter has no different decomposition rates but greater N release rate compared to natives, Accordingly, invasives are expected to affect N cycle in Mediterranean plant communities, possibly promoting a shift of plant assemblages.
