Impacts of deforestation and burning, and the role of bracken fern, on the properties of surficial or buried soil A-horizons [PDF]
, 2008 Bracken fern (Pteridium spp.) is an aggressive plant that commonly invades disturbed sites. Its success as an invader is attributable, in part, to its ability to produce abundant growth, both below ground in the form of rhizomes and fine roots and above ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 5, September-October 2025.Abstract Premise Metabarcoding has become a successful tool for the identification of species in ecological assemblages. However, the usefulness of metabarcoding for identifying plant species has been hampered due to a lack of universal gene regions that work across all taxa, limiting the applications of metabarcoding in ecology.

Chemotaxis of Bracken Spermatozoids : The Role of Bimalate Ions [PDF]
, 1958 1. Bracken spermatozoids are chemotactically attracted by malic acid salts and in a pH gradient aggregate between pH 3.5 and 5.6. 2. This response to pH occurs only when the sperm suspension contains malate. 3. At higher pH's, the response to an H+

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 5, September/October 2025.In a southeastern USA pine savanna, groundcover patches dominated by bracken ferns or gallberry shrubs have lower diversity relative to native bunchgrass areas. We hypothesize that relative to one another at our site, whereas bunchgrasses are diversity‐enhancing Species of Unusual Effect (SUEs), bracken and gallberry are diversity‐inhibiting SUEs—each ...

Long‐term water dynamics in the Lascaux cave karst: Impact of tree removal
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, July/August 2025.Abstract Quantifying the hydrological dynamics of unsaturated karst environments in relation to their native vegetation is a critical step in developing adaptation strategies. This study investigates the effect of tree removal on water dynamics in the Lascaux karst hill in southwestern France.

Sixty years of research on bracken fern (Pteridium spp.) toxins: Environmental exposure, health risks and recommendations for bracken fern control [PDF]
Environmental ResearchBracken 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.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 5, May 2025.This study examined long‐term (2008–2021) water flux data in three different age (83‐, 48‐ and 20‐year‐old) plantation forests in the Great Lakes region in Canada. The mean annual evapotranspiration (ET) values were 465 ± 41, 466 ± 32 and 403 ± 21 mm year−1 in the 83‐, 48‐ and 20‐year‐old stands, respectively, with the highest ET observed in the 83 ...
