Sixty years of research on bracken fern (Pteridium spp.) toxins: Environmental exposure, health risks and recommendations for bracken fern control [PDF]
Bracken fern (Pteridium spp.) is a highly problematic plant worldwide due to its toxicity in combination with invasive properties on former farmland, in deforested areas and on disturbed natural habitats. The carcinogenic potential of bracken ferns has caused scientific and public concern for six decades.

ABSTRACT Aim Progress has been made in understanding the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) in both experimental and real‐world ecosystems. Yet, we have a limited understanding of the extent to which biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning in heterogeneous environments and whether variation in ecosystem functioning ...

Abstract Premise Humans have used fire to manage landscapes for millennia, but this use of fire is declining in many ecosystems. Understanding how plants respond to these changes is key to predicting ecosystem resilience and impacts on services such as biodiversity and carbon sequestration. However, many ecosystems lack data on plant fire responses.

Interacting effects of invasion and soil microbes on Douglas‐fir seedling response to drought
Abstract Global change is affecting native species and communities through multiple anthropogenic drivers which likely interact, complicating our ability to predict the net effects of global change. In the Pacific Northwest region (USA), Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link (Scotch broom) invasion has dramatically altered many ecosystems, including postharvest ...

Toxicities of bracken fern in guinea pigs.
Toxicities of bracken fern were studied for feeding periods of 5-1O days (experiment A), 20-80 days (experiment B) and 11-15 months (experiment C) in 149 albino female and male guinea pigs weighing approximately 200g. Guinea pigs were fed ad lib. the bracken diet containing 30% (Wt./Wt.) dry powdered young fronds, 0.012% thiamine and 0.01% ascorbic ...
