“…Non-native plant species can act as 'nurse' crops, ameliorating harsh environmental conditions, for example by providing shade or increasing soil nutrient availability, thereby increasing the rate of native plant establishment (Ewel & Putz 2004;Yang et al 2009). Examples include gorse (Ulex europaeus) and Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) in New Zealand (Wilson 1994;Burrows et al 2015), and briar (Rosa rubiginosa) in Argentina (Svriz et al 2013). Invasive conifers can increase nutrient availability and thus improve the quality of degraded high country (mostly >600 m asl) soils in New Zealand (Davis 1998), which could in turn increase native plant establishment (Dyck 2004).…”

Pinus contorta is a widespread and ecologically damaging invasive tree in the southern hemisphere. Land managers want control methods that limit reinvasion by P. contorta and promote the recovery of native plant communities and ecosystem functions. Recovery of native vegetation may be slow if native seed supply is limited and/or introduced mammals destroy seeds and seedlings. We investigated how tree control method (felling or poisoning), seed addition, and exclusion of introduced mammals affected subsequent seedling establishment in montane stands of invasive P. contorta. Tree control method had a significant effect on seedling establishment: felling trees promoted establishment of P. contorta seedlings, whereas poisoning trees favoured establishment of native seedlings (provided seeds were available). Native seedling establishment was higher where seeds were sown, indicating native seed limitation at these sites. Excluding introduced mammals increased P. contorta seedling establishment, but did not have a significant effect on native seedling establishment. Our results indicate that poisoning P. contorta is a better management approach than felling where native seedling establishment is the desired outcome, and that this outcome can be enhanced by sowing native seed.

Abbreviations F = Farmland; FU = Forest understorey; LGB = Large canopy gaps dominated by Broussonetia papyrifera; LGC = Large canopy gaps dominated by Chromolaena odorata; LR = Logging road; MAP = Mansonia altissima plantation; MDT = Modified Taungya System; NDP = Nauclea diderrichii plantation; NPLD = Non-pioneer light-demander; P = Pioneer; SB = Shade-bearer; ST = Skid trail; TIP = Terminalia ivorensis plantation. Abstract Question: Does the invasive tree species Broussonetia papyrifera facilitate the natural regeneration of native tree species in a degraded tropical forest landscape? Location: Afram Headwaters Forest Reserve, southern Ghana.Methods: We established sampling areas and assessed seedlings and saplings <5 cm DBH in nine habitats. The habitats were logging road, skid trail, large canopy gaps dominated by B. papyrifera, large canopy gaps dominated by invasive Chromolaena odorata, Nauclea diderrichii plantation, Mansonia altissima plantation, Terminalia ivorensis plantation, abandoned farmland and unlogged forest.Results: We found that the abundance of pioneers declined with increasing abundance of B. papyrifera. This trend was more pronounced in the farmland and in the N. diderrichii plantation. By contrast, increased abundance of B. papyrifera did not lead to a decrease in the abundance of the shade-tolerant species. B. papyrifera seedlings and saplings were absent in the forest understorey. We also found a lower abundance and richness of some vulnerable tree species and valuable timber species in the N. diderrichii plantation and in gaps dominated by B. papyrifera. However, we recorded both shade-tolerant and shade-intolerant species in the gaps dominated by B. papyrifera. Conclusions:We found both shade-tolerant and shade-intolerant species in the B. papyrifera-dominated gaps. This can provide a basis for future studies to explore the potential of such tree species in restoration programmes targeted at B. papyrifera-invaded sites. Our results also suggest that the integrity of the undisturbed forest patches in the landscape must be protected to help prevent B. papyrifera from spreading further. We suggest further studies should be conducted at replicated sites with a similar habitat that represent varying levels of invasion by B. papyrifera to draw conclusions regarding the species' potential to facilitate regeneration of native tree species.

“…La Rosa mosqueta tiene sus orígenes en Europa del Este (Olsson y Prentice, 2001;Brasovan et al, 2011) y crece en forma natural en Polonia, Rumania, Balcanes, Hungría, Nueva Zelanda (Partridge et al, 1991;Rodica et al, 2015), en el Cáucaso, oeste de Asia y norte de África (Buzunova y Romo, 2011), entre otros países. El género Rosa fue introducida a América durante la conquista española (Galaz, 1999) y actualmente se distribuye en Chile en las ciudades de Colchagua, Valdivia, Osorno y Aysén (Cavallero y Raffaele, 2010); en Argentina (Hirsch et al, 2011;Svriz et al, 2013;Zimmermann et al, 2011;Damascos y Gallopin, 1992), en las provincias de Neuquén, Rio Negro y Chubut (Aguirre, 2009), en Perú en las regiones de Ica y Junín (Cameroni, 2013;Damascos y Gallopin, 1992); y además en los estado de Missouri, Wyoming y Nebraska en EEUU (Parejas y Horst, 1990). Dada a su gran importancia como un fruto con potenciales nutritivas y farmacéuticas, es los últimos años se ha registrado un gran número de investigaciones acerca de estas propiedades, y en distintas partes de la planta.…”

Resumen Los consumidores cada día exigen productos en sus dietas que no solo aporten los nutrientes requeridos para una vida sana, sino que además son de preferencia aquellos que puedan complementar con propiedades benéficas para la salud. En las últimas décadas se ha reconocido a la Rosa mosqueta, la Rosa canina y a la Rosa rubiginosa, como frutos que contienen muchas propiedades nutracéuticas. El presente trabajo hace una revisión de los artículos de investigación realizados a la Rosa mosqueta desde un punto de vista de su importancia de su consumo y sus beneficios para la salud; describiendo las características químicas, físicas y bioquímicas tales como el contenido de componentes fenólicos, ácidos grasos, ácido linoleico, minerales; y de otros compuestos importantes también desde el punto de vista industrial, tales como el contenido de antioxidantes, pigmentos, entre otros. De acuerdo a los antecedentes recopilados, la Rosa mosqueta es una fuente de micronutrientes incluyendo la vitamina c y el licopeno, entregando además un buen aporte nutricional; por lo anterior debe ser considerado como un alimento funcional. Aun siendo una especie que crece en estado salvaje, sobre suelos forestales; siendo un frutal menor y una planta medicinal su importancia en el consumo masivo debe ser considerada.
