PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The global decline in biodiversity can be partly ameliorated by sympathetic design of green spaces within urban environments. This includes roundabouts on road systems. This study utilised a combination of approaches to assess levels of plant and bacterial diversity in roundabouts of varying size, soil characteristics and habitat complexity.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2032-2039, April 2025.As regulations on chemical pesticides become more stringent, it is likely that there will be interest in water steam as an alternative approach for soil disinfestation. This study investigated the feasibility of utilizing a soil steaming device for thermal control of selected invasive alien plants and showed a promising mortality rate for their ...

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The structure of spikes of Elytrigia repens, E. intermedia and Elymus caninus was investigated. The number of spikelets per spike reveals the weakest correlations with other characters of the spike. The same concerns some character ratios.

Testing the enemies hypothesis in peach orchards in two different geographic areas in eastern China: the role of ground cover vegetation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many studies have supported the enemies hypothesis, which suggests that natural enemies are more efficient at controlling arthropod pests in polyculture than in monoculture agro-ecosystems.

A novel circumscription and classification for Neurolaeneae (Asteraceae)
TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract Neurolaeneae (Asteraceae) have a complicated taxonomic history. The tribe was described in 1927, but subsequently disregarded in 1977, and later reinstated as a tribe following a large‐scale phylogenetic analysis of Asteraceae in 2002. To date, this tribe has remained poorly studied and it has never been the subject of a comprehensive ...

New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.This paper introduces the emic concept of guesting, coined by women living in refugee accommodation to distinguish their form of hospitality from other more hierarchical forms of hosting. Central to guesting is the unspoken rule that once you have played the host, next time you must be the guest.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.The contemporary interaction of climate and disturbance drives vegetation composition and species distribution shifts, making their respective roles difficult to disentangle. This study describes the long‐term ruderal plant species distributions along the ‘Rallarvägen' in Abisko, subarctic Sweden.
