Fossil pollen data were extracted from soil deposits dating back to the last 20th centuries, shedding light on the evolutionary trajectory of Primulaceae Family plants in the region. Soil samples, primarily weighing approximately 0.5 kg and retrieved from depths ranging from 4 m to the surface, were collected at five stations in the Elbasan area using a dry rotary drilling probe between October and November 2023. The study aims to unveil the evolutionary dynamics of Primulaceae plants during the New Holocene, offering novel insights into their paleoenvironmental interactions. The Holocene epoch marks a critical period characterized by significant shifts in climate and ecological conditions. Understanding plant evolution during this era provides valuable insights into environmental dynamics and human impact on vegetation. A total of 485 Primulaceae palynomorphs were identified across all analysed soil samples, indicating consistent presence throughout the New Holocene period. The abundance and distribution of Primulaceae pollen suggests enduring resilience and adaptation within the local ecosystem. Furthermore, the study highlights a significant correlation between changes in vegetation patterns and human cultivation practices, underscoring anthropogenic influences on regional flora dynamics. The prevalence of Primulaceae palynomorphs across soil layers underscores the plants adaptability to varying environmental conditions. Human activities, particularly cultivation practices, emerge as key drivers shaping vegetation dynamics in the Elbasan region. The consistent presence of Primulaceae palynomorphs underscores their resilience amidst changing environmental dynamics. Human intervention emerges as a significant determinant of regional vegetation patterns, highlighting the intertwined relationship between human activities and plant evolution.</p> Admir Jançe Anila Jançe Copyright (c) 2024 Authors https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 2024-05-03 2024-05-03 4 03 1 7 10.55529/jeimp.43.1.7 https://journal.hmjournals.com/index.php/JEIMP/article/view/4145 <p>Variety of trees are found in both urban and wild areas; these trees are indispensable in maintaining ecosystem health and promoting human well-being. However, stressors affect the health of these trees; this makes them face management approaches. In this study, an assessment and management of five (5) different tree species at Southern University and A&amp;M College in Baton Rouge-USA were carried out. The Southern Magnolia, Southern Red Oak, and Live Oak showed symptoms of stress, such as leaning and decay. The identified Loblolly Pine showed symptoms such as bark beetle infestations and resource competition. For each of these species, specific indicators of stress were identified and recommended management approaches. These include the installation of support systems, pruning of diseased branches, soil tillage, and pest control techniques. These practices allow the strengthening of urban forest, which ensures continued health and functioning of our ecosystems.</p> Jeff Dacosta Osei Zhu Ning Yaw A.
