Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.Changing management from light sheep grazing to light cattle grazing restored vegetation at a calcareous upland site. There was an increase in species richness, calcareous grassland indicators and bryophyte cover and a decrease in grass cover. There was, however, also a decrease in vegetation height.

How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds [PDF]
, 2014 Lakes and ponds are scattered on Earth’s surface as islands in the ocean. The organisms inhabiting these ecosystems have thus developed strategies to pass the barrier represented by the surrounding land, disperse and colonise new environments.

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

Large herbivores in coastal dune management: do grazers do what they are supposed to do? [PDF]
, 2005 After some decades of rather sparse and more or less ad-hoc nature management (e.g. local shrub-cutting, sod-cutting, mowing), the manager of the Flemish coastal nature reserves [Nature Department (Coastal Zone Management Cell) of AMINAL, Ministry of the

Vegetation Re-development After Fen Meadow Restoration by Topsoil Removal and Hay Transfer [PDF]
, 2009 We investigated the effects of different restoration treatments on the development of fen meadow communities: (1) depth of topsoil removal, with shallow (circa 20 cm) and deep (circa 40 cm) soil removal applied, (2) transfer of seed-containing hay, and ...
