“…not compared statistically, the results clearly showed that combinations of 6 shrubs promoted greater intake in goats and sheep ( Figure 2). The shrubs offered in this trial varied in kinds and amounts of secondary compounds, including tannins (Arbutus, Quercus, and Pistacia), terpenes (Juniper), and iridoid glycosides and terpenes (Viburnum tinus; Tomassini et al, 1995). The efficacy of plant defenses varies with the mix of plants, and the chemical attributes of a single plant species must be considered within a larger context of the plant community (Bryant et al, 1991).…”

Poor nutritional quality and increased content of secondary compounds can reduce consumption of Mediterranean shrubs by herbivores. In 2 sequential trials, we examined the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and number of shrub species offered on daily intake of Mediterranean shrubs by 12 sheep and 12 goats. The PEG (25 g) was fed to experimental animals with barley. In trial 1 (6 shrubs), goats ate more (P = 0.0008) daily total shrub biomass than did sheep (60.7 vs. 45.9 +/- 2.6 g/kg of BW). There was a trend (P = 0.08) toward a positive PEG effect on total shrub intake, with PEG-supplemented animals consuming more total shrubs than controls (56.7 vs. 50.0 +/- 2.6 g/kg of BW). Trial 2 (using 3 shrubs) was a continuation of trial 1, except that animals were given less barley and treatment animals were given more PEG (50 g). Both sheep and goats showed a numerical decrease in total shrub intake from trial 1 to trial 2. Sheep receiving PEG ate more (P = 0.002) total shrubs than did controls, but no PEG effect was found for goats. Thus, PEG had a greater influence on sheep than goats when only 3 shrubs were offered, a result that may be related to the fact that fewer shrubs with complementary secondary compounds were offered and that goats appear to have a greater ability to consume and detoxify secondary compounds from Mediterranean shrubs. Overall, as the number and diversity of shrubs offered increased, supplemental PEG had less effect on increasing intake for both goats and sheep.

“…It showed a negative ion [M − H] − at m/ z 607.2385 (calcd for C 30 H 39 O 13 607.2385). The 1 H and 13 C NMR data of 2 were very similar to those of 1, except for the chemical shifts of H-7‴ and H-8‴ (δ H 6.89 and 5.82 for 2; δ H 7.67 and 6.38 for 1). Their relatively small J values (12.9 Hz for 2; 16.0 Hz for 1) indicated that the p-coumaroyl moiety is in the cis-form.…”

Six new iridoid glycosides, sambucusides A-F (1-6), and two known derivatives (7 and 8) were isolated from a methanol extract of the twigs of Sambucus williamsii var. coreana. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including NMR (H and C NMR,H-H COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY) and HRMS. All isolated compounds (1-8) were evaluated for their antiproliferative activities against four human cancer cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and Bt549). Their effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV-2 cells and their neuroprotective effects through induction of nerve growth factor (NGF) in C6 glioma cells were also examined. Compounds 2, 3, and 5 showed cytotoxic effects (IC 1.3-8.7 μM) against the SK-MEL-2 and Bt549 cell lines and inhibitory effects on NO production (IC of 0.9, 1.3, and 1.2 μM, respectively). Compounds 2, 4, and 8 exhibited NGF-releasing effects (147.0 ± 5.8%, 158.7 ± 5.2%, and 152.6 ± 7.3%, respectively).

“…The first planted line did not have coconut HDFL (control); the second one had a line of coconut HDFL 30 cm in diameter, tied in coconut net partially buried next to it (treatmentF1); and the third line had between 2 parallel lines of HDFL that separated 0.5 m (treatment F2). In each planting line were placed 12 individual plants from each species that are widely used in bioengineering in Southern Europe, especially in Mediterranean regions: Viburnum tinus L. (an evergreen shrub widely distributed [8]), Pistacia lentiscus L. (another evergreen shrub or small tree that is 1-8 m tall, which grows in many Mediterranean countries) [9] and Lavandula angustifolia L. (widely distributed aromatic herb [10]). Throughout the experiment, these adventitious plants were manually extracted and watered on the day of planting and three more times before sampling with the amount of water proportional to the average rainfall in autumn in Montornès del Vallès.…”

Due to the clime change scenario, severe hydro-meteorological phenomena are having a high impact on the ecosystems of the earth. Some strategies based on the use of natural communities associated with geomorphological changes that restore the natural landscape are gaining success due the resistance and resilience against damages. All of these strategies are known as nature-based solutions (NBS). Soil and water bioengineering techniques are one of the most appreciated tools to reach effectiveness for slope stabilization. They are based on the capacity of some plants to consolidate the soil with his rooting system in special conditions (high slope, flooding impact). Slope stabilization solutions with soil and water bioengineering techniques need to be adapted to this new scenario. Crib wall is one of the most complete soil and water bioengineering technique for structural slope stabilization. It is based on a wooden box full of live plants that in the future will grow and gain stability at the same time that wood decays. The crib wall box is full of soil, and the front area is traditionally stabilized with some branches of fascines to let plants grow, maintaining the structure. Fascines are made of branches of riparian species with the capacity for vegetative propagation. Their diameter can change due to the humidity variation, so the stiffness of the system is at risk against severe hydro-meteorological phenomena. This study aims to assess that the introduction of HDCL in crib walls improves planting success and makes them more resistant to adverse weather events in Mediterranean areas. Four experiments were performed in controlled and natural conditions with this proposal. The results show that the use of natural fibers instead of branch fascine helps to maintain the humidity conditions and increase the resistance capacity. High-density coir logs (HDCL) are not affected by volume changes for humidity conditions. HDCL maintains the plant’s humidity conditions longer and makes plants grow faster, bigger and increase their survival. This method of Crib wall construction increases the associated biodiversity. The most important results are that the use of HDCL in crib walls has an effect on the growth of planted shrub, the development of roots, the colonization of native vegetation and ultimately, the resistance of the structure to the floods. The results also show that crib walls are a good technique for the stabilization of slopes with considerable gradients and high hydraulic impacts. HDCL can reduce the water stress of plantations, and they can be a good system to retain runoff and provide it to the plants. Finally, the HDCL allows the revegetation of a crib wall 30% faster than with branch fascine.
