Summary Weeds are major constraints on crop production, yet as part of the primary producers within farming systems, they may be important components agroecosystem. Using published literature, role weeds in arable systems for other above‐ground trophic levels examined. In UK, there is evidence that weed flora have changed over past century, with some species declining abundance, whereas others increased. There also a decline size seedbanks. Some these changes reflect improved agricultural...

Research on the combined effects of climate change and nitrogen deposition reproductive traits, especially production viable seeds, is still scarce despite their importance for population persistence expansion. Hence, in this study we set out to investigate direct indirect above-mentioned global drivers seed viability coniferous shrub Juniperus communis L. In many parts its European range, juniper increasingly threatened, partly because a lack sexual reproduction. We hypothesised that...

Environmental fate and toxicity testing typically requires knowledge of the water solubility test substances. Determining aromatic diisocyanates in poses great challenges because their hydrophobic nature water-reactivity. The reactive dissolution process is dynamic establishment a steady-state equilibrium cannot readily be observed. In preparation experimental work, computer simulation was used to derive evaluate criteria that enable distinguishing homogeneous (

Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were determined for 4,4'-methylene dianiline (MDA) on five diverse soils at nominal concentrations of 0.01-1.0 mg L-1 (nominal soil loading 0.1-40 μg gs-1 ). The data used to model the adsorption process based two-step mechanism that is characteristic aromatic amines, consisting a physical equilibrium between aqueous phase organic matter chemical reaction adsorbed MDA reactive sites in matter. Generic parameters enabled application other soils, which was...
