ABSTRACT High weed infestation remains a major constraint on crop productivity for smallholder farmers practising Conservation Agriculture (CA). Fewer, more diverse weeds are desirable to reduce competition and provide ecosystem services. Crop diversification can help, but it is not yet clear which species combinations and layouts are most effective ...

Taxonomic decomposition of the latitudinal gradient in species diversity of North American floras [PDF]
Aim: To test the latitudinal gradient in plant species diversity for self-similarity across taxonomic scales and amongst taxa. Location: North America. Methods: We used species richness data from 245 local vascular plant floras to quantify the slope and ...

Ecological Diversity of Summer Maize Weed Species in the Western Mid‐Hills of Nepal
Maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation in the mid‐hills of Nepal is vital for food security but faces significant yield losses due to weed competition. The two‐year (2023–2024) phytosociological study on summer maize was conducted to assess weed diversity and dynamics in randomly selected 40 farmers’ fields of Puranchaur, Dhikidada, Gharmi, and Lamachaur at ...

Impact of Pre‐Emergent Herbicides and Soil Management on Weed Community Dynamics and Soybean Yield
Pre‐emergent herbicides are key tools in managing herbicide‐resistant and hard‐to‐control weed species in soybean (Glycine max L.) cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of pre‐emergent herbicides on weed phytosociology, soybean phytotoxicity, and grain yield under different soil management systems and environmental conditions.

Synorganisation without organ fusion in the flowers of Geranium robertianum (Geraniaceae) and its not so trivial obdiplostemony [PDF]
Background and Aims Synorganisation of floral organs, an important means in angiosperm flower evolution, is mostly realized by congenital or post-genital organ fusion.

The unrolling of the peltate leaves in Syngonium podophyllum is analyzed and quantified (left‐hand side to center). These measurements serve to verify a mathematical model for leaf unrolling based on the model used in Schmidt (2007). An additional formula for obtaining a layer mismatch from a prescribed radius is derived.

Abstract Indigenous Peoples rely on biodiversity and traditional knowledge for health and well‐being, yet biological and cultural systems are threatened by ecological and social changes. Limited understanding exists on the factors that support the resilience of Indigenous Peoples' healthcare systems—the capacity of a healthcare system to adapt to ...

Here, There and Everywhere: Widespread Non‐Native Plants in the World's Urban Ecosystems
ABSTRACT Aim To (a) produce a list of the most widespread naturalised non‐native plant species across cities of the world; (b) explore whether cities on different continents are invaded by the same group of widespread naturalised species; and (c) elucidate the origins of the most widespread naturalised urban species. Location Global.
