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 ...

Homogenisation of Vegetation in Irish Semi-Natural Grasslands. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA re‐survey of 12 Irish grassland sites revealed a decrease in species number and an apparent shift towards homogeneity of species diversity over the last 12–15 years. This raises concerns about management and species diversity/conservation. ABSTRACT Grasslands represent an important source of vegetative diversity and provide a range of important ...

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

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.

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 ...

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 ...
