Vegetative Regeneration Capacities of Five Ornamental Plant Invaders After Shredding [PDF]
peer reviewedVegetation management often involves shredding to dispose of cut plant material or to destroy the vegetation itself. In the case of invasive plants, this can represent an environmental risk if the shredded material exhibits vegetative ...

A review of the influence of root-associating fungi and root exudates on the success of invasive plants [PDF]
Plant-fungal interactions are essential for understanding the distribution and abundance of plants species. Recently, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) partners of non-indigenous invasive plants have been hypothesized to be a critical factor ...

Sexual reproduction in invasive Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) in south Sweden
To understand the potential for northward expansion of knotweeds into currently uninvaded regions, it is crucial to assess the potential for sexual reproduction alongside the ongoing vegetative spread. For that reason, we tested viability in Reynoutria japonica seeds in south Sweden, a region where viable seeds had not been previously reported ...

In Vitro Comparison of the Bioactivities of Japanese and Bohemian Knotweed Ethanol Extracts [PDF]
Knotweed is a flowering plant that is native to temperate and subtropical regions in the northern hemisphere. We evaluated Japanese (Reynoutria japonica Houtt.) and Bohemian (Fallopia x bohemica) knotweed rhizome and flower ethanol extracts and compared them in terms of their biological activities.

‘Let's Turn the Grass Into Meat’: Animal Husbandry as Women's Work in Cold War North Korea
ABSTRACT In postcolonial North Korea, the future of the nation was said to be a function of the feedlot. Unobtainable on the battlefields of the recently ended Korean War, liberation and unification of the peninsula became a question of competitive developmentalism.

Patterns of population genomic diversity in the invasive Japanese knotweed species complex [PDF]
PREMISE Invasive species are expected to undergo a reduction in genetic diversity due to founder effects, which should limit their ability to adapt to new habitats.

‘Weed troubles’ in Palestine: Environmental imaginaries of the harmful weed
The control of weeds is a significant theme in Zionist environmental narratives of land redemption that have justified the appropriation of Palestinian land. This article explores how contemporary Palestinian artists revisit the environmental imaginaries of the “harmful weed” through the analysis of a Ramallah‐based exhibition titled Weed Control ...

Potential applications of randomised graph sampling to invasive species surveillance and monitoring. [PDF]
Many invasive plants and animals disperse preferentially through linear networks in the landscape, including road networks, riparian corridors, and power transmission lines. Unless the network of interest is small, or the budget for surveillance is large,

ABSTRACT The Japanese knotweeds (Reynoutria japonica complex; Polygonaceae) are characterised by a highly efficient vegetative propagation. Their resprouting capacity is associated with rhizomes, whose nodal structure distinguishes them from non‐regenerative roots.
