Invasion impact by Pteridium arachnoideum (Kaulf.) Maxon (Dennstaedtiaceae) on a neotropical savanna
Whether management intervention is required to control biological invasions depends primarily on demonstrating species losses resulting from such invasions. Brackens of the Pteridium genus are currently regarded as a problem species that act as important

A Taxonomic and Ecological Study of the Asilidae of Michigan [PDF]
Seventy-two species of Asilidae have been recorded from Michigan. An additional seven which may occur are included. Keys to subfamilies, genera and species are given. Two subfamilies and twenty-five genera are represented.

ABSTRACT Modern studies show that soil erosion results in a loss of ecosystem function, particularly fertility, and is a cause of declining agricultural yields. However, despite the well‐attested high rates of soil erosion across Roman and medieval Europe there appears to have been little or no soil‐associated decline in agricultural production—the ...

Study results show that over 70% of the permanent grasslands are affected by soil acidity and moisture excess. In addition, 54% of the floristic structure of these grasslands is made up of invasive species of no value as fodder plants.

On mode of rythmological evolution of ferns
Possible ways of rhythmological evolution of ferns are outlined on the basis of comparison of basal evergreen phenorhythmotype with derived rhythms occurring in temperate ferns.

Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales [PDF]
Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25 ...

Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...

Impacts of deforestation and burning, and the role of bracken fern, on the properties of surficial or buried soil A-horizons [PDF]
Bracken fern (Pteridium spp.) is an aggressive plant that commonly invades disturbed sites. Its success as an invader is attributable, in part, to its ability to produce abundant growth, both below ground in the form of rhizomes and fine roots and above ...

Natural Apospory in Pteridium?
From a population of the bracken fern in New Hampshire, Farlow (1889) described prothalloid outgrowths from the marginal sori. He concluded that natural apospory, i.e. the formation of a gametophyte vegetatively from a sporophyte under normal environmental conditions, had occurred as reported by Druery (1884) and Bower (1884).

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.
