Co‐dominant species fail to compensate after 13‐year of dominant species removal in a Tibetan alpine grassland

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
To better understand the dynamics of community resilience, it is crucial to examine the role of dominant species in maintaining ecosystem functions. Dominant species, due to their high abundance, are considered to maintain productivity after species loss.

Dormancy in reproductive vegetative buds in creeping perennials dominating the agricultural weed flora in Scandinavia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Dormancy, which is the inability to initiate normal growth under otherwise favourable conditions, is an adaptation to escape sprouting prior to seasonal cold temperatures and/or drought in areas where winters are harsh or summers dry.

Carduus nutans and Carduus acanthoides, two invasive thistle species, strongly rebound from disturbances

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The establishment and spread of invasive species are often facilitated by disturbance. Once established, however, individuals of invasive species are themselves subject to damage from disturbance; their responses to these perturbations could be an important component of invasive species' ability to persist in local environments.

In the Footsteps of Sheep Herds: The Neonative Xeranthemum cylindraceum Has No Impact but Indicates Ruderalisation of Overgrazed Pastures in the New Range

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 4, October/December 2025.
We examined the potential negative impact of a range‐expanding neonative annual plant species, Xeranthemum cylindraceum, in grasslands of its new range. Our results preclude the negative impact on grassland biodiversity and confirm the reactive nature of this species. Mass presence of this unpalatable species in pastures indicates overuse, which should

Secondary succession on an early abandoned field: vegetation composition and production of biomass

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2002
During 1996-2000 the secondary succession on a field left fallow was investigated. The experimental area was divided into a ploughed and an unploughed part.

Annual Vegetation of Saline Seasonal Wetlands (Crypsietea aculeatae) in Europe

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 4, October/December 2025.
The first continent‐wide classification of the Crypsietea aculeatae vegetation is presented, defining one phytosociological alliance and four associations. Vegetation variability is mainly driven by climate parameters and soil properties (salinity, soil moisture, soil acidity, nutrient availability).

Plant Functional Composition, Ecological Niche Distribution, and Biodiversity Measures Across Urban Grasslands of Different Size, Localisation, and Type

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 14, Page 4997-5009, 30 August 2025.
ABSTRACT Urban grasslands (UGs) are among the most abundant type of green infrastructure in cities worldwide. They deliver a range of ecosystem services and perform numerous ecosystem functions. To ensure the multifunctionality of UGs, enhancing their biodiversity is crucial; however, owing to urbanisation effects and inappropriate management, UGs ...

Harmful occurrence of Rosy rustic moth (Hydraecia micacea) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) on hop in the Czech Republic

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2005
The Rosy rustic moth (Hydraecia micacea) has been a pest of hop in Czech hop regions for a long time. It causes most severe damages in hop gardens infested by quackgrass (Elytrigia repens) on waterlogged areas. Larvae emerge from the second half of April
