Testing the feasibility of citizen science to record impacts of invasive alien plants

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
This pilot study evaluated the suitability of a citizen science approach to analyse the impacts of invasive alien plants on native vegetation and makes recommendations for the wider application of the method. Abstract Evidence of impacts of invasive alien species is necessary to inform risk assessments and management decisions but is lacking for many ...

Dynamic-Catenal Phytosociology for Evaluating Vegetation

, 2022
The conservation of nature is a problem that has concerned the scientific community for many years. Plants and plant communities play a main role in evaluation and land management studies, owing to their importance as natural and cultural resources. Several studies from the perspective of flora and vegetation have been carried out in the last fifty ...

Standardised Drone Procedures for Phytosociological Data Collection

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 2, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aims Phytosociological maps are crucial for biodiversity conservation. Supervised mapping with machine learning demands high‐quality reference data that field surveys alone cannot provide. This study evaluates drone‐based procedures for phytosociological data collection, comparing them with field surveys. The research questions are as follows:

Introducing Rveg: An R Package for Phytosociological Data Digitizing

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Rveg is an open‐source package extension for the R statistical programming language, designed to facilitate the efficient and straightforward digitization of phytosociological relevés (vegetation plot observations) into plain comma‐separated values (CSV) format. This format is easily importable into the R environment for data editing and analysis. Rveg

International Biological Flora: Trapa natans†

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 10, Page 2386-2420, October 2024.
The water caltrop (Trapa natans L.) was once widely distributed in its native range, but is in some part (i.e. Europe) nowadays very rare, highly threatened and of conservation concern for still unknown reasons. It has been introduced beyond its native range (e.g.

Reintroduction strategies for rare arable weeds in agricultural practice and their influence on yield

Weed Research, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 384-394, October 2024.
Abstract Agricultural intensification and changing landscape structure led to decreasing numbers of arable flora and fauna during the last decades. To counteract these declines, arable plant diversity needs to be restored. It is important to promote regional plant communities including endangered species to ensure adaption to agricultural landscapes ...
