Six Cistaceae species, Helianthemum ledifolium, Helianthemum lippii, Fumana procumbens, Cistus albidus, Cistus incanus, Cistus salvifolius, and Pinus halepensis (Aleppo pine) were inoculated with three mycorrhizal desert truffles, Terfezia leptoderma, Terfezia boudieri, and Terfezia claveryi under greenhouse conditions, on soil originating from desert truffle natural habitat in Algeria. The syntheses have led to the formation of typical endomycorrhizae in annual Cistaceae (H. ledifolium) and perennial ones (H. lippii and F. procumbens) and an ectomycorrhiza with a less developed sheath in Cistus species and Aleppo pine. These results demonstrate the plasticity of Terfezia species to form different mycorrhizal types. The formation of an endomycorrhiza with H. ledifolium and F. procumbens and a sheathing ectomycorrhiza with P. halepensis inoculated by T. leptoderma in in vivo culture conditions was obtained for the first time.

The soil microbiome plays an important role in forest functioning. However, the impact of drought-induced dieback and tree death on soil microbial biomass, community structure, and functional composition is unknown. We also lack understanding on how soil microbiota varies seasonally in such declining stands.

Article Synopsis
- The Mediterranean region is highly vulnerable to environmental changes, particularly climate change and air pollution, affecting its unique pine forests.
- This study investigates how the chemical composition of precipitation changes when filtered through Aleppo and black pine canopies on the eastern Adriatic coast, revealing increased ion deposition in the throughfall compared to bulk open field deposits.
- Results show that inorganic nitrogen levels in Aleppo pine forests exceeded critical limits, highlighting the need for ongoing research due to the potential impacts on soil and groundwater health in these sensitive ecosystems.
Chemical Characteristic and Sensory Evaluation of Biscuit Prepared from Wheat and Aleppo Pine Seeds Flour.

Department of Environmental Management, Institute of Environmental Engineering, RUDN University, 6 Miklukho-Maklaya St., Moscow 117198, Russia.
This study aimed to explore the potential use of Aleppo pine seed flour as a nutritious ingredient in biscuit production. Aleppo pine seed flour was blended with wheat flour to create biscuits with varying proportions: 15%, 30%, and 45% Aleppo pine seed flour. The analysis of the chemical composition of the biscuits revealed that increasing the proportion of Aleppo pine seed flour led to higher levels of protein, fat, and ash, while the carbohydrate content decreased.

The global scientific community is deeply concerned about the deterioration of water quality resulting from the release of industrial effluents. This issue is of utmost importance as it serves to safeguard the environment and combat water pollution. The objective of this work is to elaborate a biomaterial of vegetable origin, based on the twigs of Aleppo pine, and to use it as an abundant and less expensive material for the treatment of wastewater.
