Most studies on weed infestation mainly focused on the aboveground infestation despite the fact that the importance of the seedbank dynamics in influencing weed abundance is well acknowledged.

The Potential of Arable Weeds to Reverse Invertebrate Declines and Associated Ecosystem Services in Cereal Crops [PDF]
There is global concern that invertebrate populations are declining rapidly, particularly in agricultural habitats. Declines have been attributed to the intensification of farming systems, with many studies focussing on a lack of semi-natural habitat in ...

Spatial and temporal stability of weed patches in cereal fields under direct drilling and harrow tillage [PDF]
The adoption of conservation agriculture (CA) techniques by farmers is changing the dynamics of weed communities in cereal fields and so potentially their spatial distribution.

Changes in soil seed bank and vegetation at abandoned bait sites in a Central European hilly area
Feeding places for shooting wild boar (ie., bait sites) may cause weed infestation in natural habitats. We examined the vegetation and the soil seed banks of three current and three – 1, 8 and 10 years old – abandoned baits, using vegetation survey along

Plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of Cirsium arvense : an overestimated approach? [PDF]
Cirsium arvense is one of the worst weeds in agriculture. As herbicides are not very effective and not accepted by organic farming and special habitats, possible biocontrol agents have been investigated since many decades.

Weedy species invasions are a huge problem in rangeland and natural areas as they degrade the quality and quantity of forage for livestock and reduce biodiversity. Weed suppression using native grasses is an ecologically driven method of weed management, representing an opportunity for low-input and management over long temporal scales if these ...

Herbicides for Natural Area Weed Management
Natural areas represent a significant resource for many countries. In the U.S. natural areas can be defined as conservation lands set aside for preservation or restoration, such as city or county park, private woods, state or national park, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, or other areas [1,2].
