Testing techniques to reduce weed infestation is a crucial step in developing direct tree seeding systems. The use of pre-emergence herbicides may be an alternative to manual weeding techniques, but so far, information on how they affect the seeds of native tree species is scarce. We established a greenhouse experiment to evaluate the effects of four pre-emergence herbicides (atrazine, diuron, isoxaflutole and oxyfluorfen) on weed suppression and seedling emergence and early growth of seven tropical forest tree species (Annona coriacea Mart., Citharexylum myrianthum Cham., Cordia ecalyculata Vell., Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub., Psidium guajava L., Pterogyne nitens Tul. and Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi). The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with five treatments and five replicates. The treatments consisted of a single dose of each pre-emergence herbicide and a control. Throughout the 60 days after sowing we evaluated weed cover and seedling emergence and early growth of tree species. Overall, our results suggest that all tested herbicides reduced weed cover; however, they also negatively affected tree species seedling emergence. Of the four herbicides tested, atrazine and diuron showed the greatest effects on tree seedling emergence, oxyfluorfen was least aggressive towards native species and isoxaflutole was most effective in weed control. Native tree species varied in their responses to herbicides, indicating that future experiments should increase the number of species tested as well as investigate how seed traits can affect the species responses to different herbicides.

With the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11,2020,the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine(UTCVM),like other institutions,restructured their services to reduce the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus while simultaneously providing critical and essential veterinary services.A mathematical model was developed to predict the change in the level of possible COVID-19 infections due to the increased number of potential contacts within the UTCVM hospital.A system of ordinary differential equations with different compartments for UTCVM individuals and the Knox county population was formulated to show the dynamics of transmission and the number of confirmed *** transmission rates in the model were estimated using COVID-19 case data from the surrounding county and UTCVM *** from this model show the increasing number of COVID-19 cases among UTCVM personnel as the number of daily clients and the number of veterinary staff in the clinic are *** also investigate how changes within the Knox county community impact the UTCVM *** scenarios show the importance of understanding the effects of re-opening scenarios in veterinary teaching hospitals.

Introduction:Here,we compare the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal(AMf)community composition in soils from the root zone of the exotic invasive species Prosopis juliflora(EXO soils)and soils from the root zone of the native species Mimosa tenuiflora(NAT soils)from five locations in the Brazilian tropical seasonal dry forest,Paraíba,Brazil,using morphological ***:AMf community composition in EXO and NAT soils were *** phosphorus,diversity index,spore abundance,and species richness were the main factors differing between the EXO and NAT *** general,the most dominant order present in the soils were Glomerales(44.8%)and Gigasporales(41.4%).The most abundant AMf genus in all studied soils was ***:Differences in AMf community composition were associated with(1)differences in the dominant plant species(*** ***)and(2)changes in soil chemical factors(soil,pH,total organic carbon,total nitrogen,and available P)in EXO *** results contribute to a deeper view of the AMf communities in exotic soils and open new perspectives for ecological processes involving AMf species and exotic plant species in the Brazilian tropical seasonal dry forest.
