This is a well-organized and well-cited article on a tree species.
"used for nutritional and cosmetic purposes" - why not say "is edible, and can be used in cosmetics".
Done. Change to "which is edible and is also used in
cosmetics."
Image captions don't need a "." at the end unless they are full sentences (5 to remove).
Done
"nut by-products" - this means the pressed cake once the oil has been extracted? Better say so.
Done
"high contents in proteins" - "high content of proteins" might be better.
Done
"even when the plan shows callus growth" - does "plan" mean "cutting" here? Better say so.
That was a spelling mistake. "plan" means "plant". Corrected.
"an allurement for bees" - perhaps "to attract bees".
Done. Changed to "Furthermore, the tree also attracts bees through the nectar excreted from its leaves, aiding in the tree's
pollination."
"autochthonous" - I did Greek but many readers won't have. I think we usually use "resident" here.
Done
"displays a dense and leafy crown" should be "has a dense and leafy crown".
Done
"The species displays recalcitrant seed," - better would be "The seeds are recalcitrant," linked as now.
Done. Changed to "The species' seeds are
recalcitrant"
" exhibits periodic shedding" should be "is periodically shed".
Done
I'm a bit doubtful about the 'Ecological value' section: don't these advantages apply to almost ANY local tree species? It's an error to claim specific benefits when general benefits are all that apply.
Reduced scope of "ecological value" section to retain specificity to only this species, and not to all indigenous trees. Let me know if you agree with these changes.
Images: all fine. Nice to see your own photos in service!
Many thanks for the work, and the fine article. Promoting now. I do hope you'll feel able to take the time to review one or two articles from the GAN queue.
