Who will win where and why? An ecophysiological dissection of the competition between a tropical pasture grass and the invasive weed Bracken over an elevation range of 1000 m in the tropical Andes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
In tropical agriculture, the vigorously growing Bracken fern causes severe problems by invading pastures and out-competing the common pasture grasses. Due to infestation by that weed, pastures are abandoned after a few years, and as a fatal consequence ...

Bracken Fern Poisoning in Animals

, 2023
  The most prevalent poisonous plant species found in temperate and subtropical climates is bracken fern. Although young plants are said to be more toxic than older ones, plant material as a whole is typically toxic. Various active principles present in it have the potential to cause disease conditions in animals. The fully characterized toxic factors

Not all crickets are equal: selective shrike predation highlights the conservation value of diverse arthropod communities to grassland birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding dietary preferences and prey selection is pivotal for interpreting the ecology and conservation needs of threatened species. We investigated the diet composition and prey selection of the Red‐backed Shrike Lanius collurio in a montane grassland of the central Italian Apennines, with special regard to sex‐related differences and the ...

Applied nucleation promotes recovery of New Zealand raised bog vegetation toward a reference community

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Applied nucleation aims to restore degraded ecosystems efficiently by establishing vegetation patches that increase in biodiversity and extent through natural dispersal and facilitation. Although widely tested in terrestrial ecosystems, its long‐term outcomes in wetlands remain poorly understood, particularly how restored ...

From quantity to quality: the evolution of forest restoration in the United Kingdom

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the past century, forest cover in the United Kingdom has increased threefold. However, the pathways, achievements, and shortcomings of this expansion remain underexplored. Objectives This study analyses the drivers, implementation, and legacies of forest restoration in the United Kingdom before and after 1990, which is when ...

Native forest recovery following low‐impact Eucalyptus globulus removal in Galicia: Evidence from a 17‐year chronosequence

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
This study assessed the recovery of native‐broadleaf woodland after the removal of non‐native eucalypts in Galicia over a 17‐year period. Analysis of plant community composition and soil health indicators demonstrated positive recovery trends. Soil eDNA metabarcoding provided complementary species identification to traditional forest survey techniques.

Evaluation of methods for the analysis of oxygen and carbon dioxide in water, sediment, litter, and soil

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Choosing an appropriate analyzer to measure concentrations of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) during biogeochemical cycling studies can be difficult, considering the range of options available. While several studies examine the abilities of specific analyzers, comparison of multiple analyzers and environmental sample types is lacking.
