Native Trees from Amazon Forest Fragments with Medicinal Potential_Crimson Publishers

 Native Trees from Amazon Forest Fragments with Medicinal Potential by Aline Gonçalves Spletozer*
in Biodiversity Online Journal



The impacts on the Amazonian flora bring a significant reduction of plant species considered medicinal, even before being studied. In this mini review we show several medicinal tree species from forest remnants in the Amazon.Of the 60 species recorded in the two fragments, 22 showed medicinal use registered in the literature. The greatest use found was anti-inflammatory, followed by antioxidant and ulcer. The results show that the tree species occurring in the studied fragments have wide medicinal use, being, therefore, a possible source of extraction of compounds for pharmacological use. Evidencing the importance of the conservation of these habitats for the preservation of the flora and for the health

 Threats to Biodiversity in Australia’s Burdekin River Basin by Eric Wolanski* in  Biodiversity Online Journal The Murray-Darling basin in Australia (Figure 1) is a prime example of a whole river basin suffering from environmental degradation from historical, haphazard developments without integrated planning [1]. A similar scenario is developing for the Burdekin River basin in North Queensland. https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/fulltext/BOJ.000513.php Biodiversity Online Journal:  Crimson Publishers For more open access journals in  Crimson Publishers Please click on link:   https://crimsonpublishers.com For More Articles on  Biodiversity Online Journal Please click on:  https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/

Challenging Factors Influencing Biodiversity_Crimson Publishers

Challenging Factors Influencing Biodiversity by Biswas R* in Biodiversity Online Journal Biodiversity , the diverse kinds of living things evolving over the ages and adapting themselves in a particular habitat, plays an inevitable role in equilibrium and sustenance of a natural ecosystem. It also helps build resilience and stabilization of different species of ecosystem. In general, it tries to remain in a balanced state until and unless some perturbations creep in. Whether it is human caused or not, it entirely has severe effect, creating imbalance in the whole process. https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/fulltext/BOJ.000502.php Biodiversity Online Journal: Crimson Publishers For more open access journals in Crimson Publishers Please click on link: https://crimsonpublishers.com For More Articles on Biodiversity Online Journal Please click on: https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/

Evaporation and Climate_ Crimson Publishers

Evaporation and Climate by Halidullin O* in Biodiversity Online Journal The Paris agreements are leading the planet to disaster. Not СО 2 and artificial evaporation ruins the climate . As a result of human activity, the natural functions of a significant part of the water on land are completely destroyed. Instead of keeping a biota and passing a full cycle of transformations in the processes of supplying moisture, mineral and organic substances, the water comes with precipitation and returns to the atmosphere by artificial evaporation from arable lands, asphalt, reservoirs, dumps. This reduction or short-circuited cycle of the water cycle is the root of the climate change. In total, people took from nature 63% of the inhabited earth according to 2015, with acceleration, continues to destroy the remaining territories. Each hectare of fertile natural land contains 20 tons of underground living creatures. They are microbes, worms, and so forth living creatures that, in symb...
