Stand age characteristics and soil properties affect species composition of vascular plants in short rotation coppice plantations

BioRisk, 2012
Woody biomass plantations on agricultural sites are an attractive source of biomass for bioenergy, but their effects on local biodiversity are unclear. This study’s objective was to evaluate the influences of light availability, plantation age, and

Involvement of the Soil Seed Bank in the Natural Regeneration of Forest Ecosystems in the Northern Sector of the Léfini Reserve (Republic of Congo)

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The study on the involvement of the soil seed bank in the natural regeneration of forests was carried out in the northern sector of the Léfini reserve. The aim was to assess the resilience of these woody formations. Data were collected in 8 isolated plots of 1 ha, in which woody trees of dbh ≥ 10 cm were inventoried and counted, and soil samples were ...

Plant Agrobiodiversity, Agricultural and Phytosanitary Practices of Market Garden Crops in the Centre‐East Region of Burkina Faso

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Introduction In West Africa, market gardeners use various agricultural practices to increase yields. However, many of these practices do not comply with agroecological standards and cause intoxication, pollution, soil degradation and biodiversity loss.

Close to the edge: Spatial variation in plant diversity, biomass and floral resources in conventional and agri‐environment cereal fields

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2075-2086, September 2024.
The strong edge effects we found in conventional cultivation support the premise that reducing field sizes could play a role in promoting in‐crop biodiversity. However, incorporating extensive field margins as an AEM would be more efficient at maximising the diversity of generalists whilst maintaining high yields.

Multi‐species for multifunctional grassland: Evaluation of minor and novel forage species for temperate humid grasslands

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 185, Issue 1, Page 91-107, July 2024.
With respect to the pillar of sustainable agriculture to maintain grassland resilient and resistant to climate perturbation, we chose a set of exotic and minor plant species. With a pilot study, we evaluated different plant functions of such plant species, because their exploration seems of importance to maintain grassland functioning.

A retrospective analysis of vegetation on the waste rock dump of a Donbass coal mine

Трансформация экосистем
The paper provides a retrospective analysis of vegetation on the waste rock dump of Dimitrov coal mine No. 5-6, Donetsk, DPR. The data on the state of vegetation cover in 1977–2010 and 2011–2024 are taken as a basis, which is methodically justified in ...

Nitrogen response efficiency of a managed and phytodiverse temperate grassland [PDF]

Plant and Soil, 2012
Our goal was to assess how management and sward functional diversity affect nitrogen response efficiency (NRE), the ratio of plant biomass production to supply of available nitrogen (N) in temperate grassland. A three-factorial design was employed: three sward compositions, two mowing frequencies, and two fertilization treatments.
