Abstract Wild pollinators are crucial for ecosystem functioning and human food production often rely on floral resources provided by different (semi‐) natural ecosystems survival. Yet, the role of European forests, especially forest herb layer, as a potential provider has scarcely been quantified. In this study, we measured nectar (PNP) layer using resurvey data across 3326 plots in temperate forests Europe, with an average time interval 41 years between both surveys order to assess (i)...
Abstract Ungulate populations are increasing across Europe with important implications for forest plant communities. Concurrently, atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition continues to eutrophicate forests, threatening many rare, often more nutrient-efficient, species. These pressures may critically interact shape biodiversity as in grassland and tundra systems, yet any potential interactions forests remain poorly understood. Here, we combined vegetation resurveys from 52 sites 13 European...
Biological nitrogen fixation is a fundamental part of ecosystem functioning. Anthropogenic deposition and climate change may, however, limit the competitive advantage nitrogen-fixing plants, leading to reduced relative diversity plants. Yet, assessments changes plant long-term community are rare. Here, we examine temporal trends in plants their relationships with anthropogenic while accounting for temperature aridity. We used forest-floor vegetation resurveys temperate forests Europe United...
Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) provides a comprehensive approach to managing water resources and urban greenery, mimicking natural processes support sustainable development, mitigate climate change, improve air quality. This study aimed identify optimal BGI design features by examining the impact of meteorological conditions on soil dynamics in nine experimental composites, constructed with local (marls, brick) commercial (expanded clay) substrates, native plant species (grasses,...
A phylogeographical analysis of Ranunculus platanifolius, a typical European subalpine tall-herb species, indicates the existence two main genetic lineages based on amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. One group comprises populations from Balkan Peninsula and south-eastern Carpathians other includes remaining part range encompassing western Carpathians, Sudetes, Alps, Pyrenees Scandinavia. The break observed in this species runs across separates parts (western Carpathians),...
In plants cultivation, some species influencing each other in a favorable manner, and others adversely affect the result of release physiologically active substances. These substances, called allelopathic compounds are excreted primarily by underground aboveground plants’ organs or formed during decomposition their remains. Allelopathins show inhibitory stimulating effects on processes seed germination, growth physiological activity plants. The aim study was to determine aqueous extracts...
Abstract Under natural conditions, plants compete for environmental resources, including by the release of allelopathic compounds with a various spectrum activity. Therefore, effect aqueous extracts cock’s-foot Dactylis glomerata L. on germination and early growth phases electrolyte leakages red clover Trifolium pratense was investigated. The 5, 10, 15% separately from shoots inflorescences were used in two type treatments tested parallel. In first treatment seeds watered directly eight days...
Solidago canadensis belongs to highly invasive species in Europe, it is established ruderal, semi-natural and natural communities. To test the traits related invasiveness, experiment with potential of allelopathic compounds produced by was conducted. The aqueous extract from goldenrod leaves used examine germination early stages development Trifolium pratense, as an example fodder plant common meadows pastures. Three types were used: decoction, infusion, macerate. All extracts Canadian had a...
In climbing plants, fruits can be formed at different heights, depending on the height of external support. However, effect fruit and seed traits in invasive vines Cucurbitaceae has not been intensively studied so far. Europe, Echinocystis lobata, a North American member Cucurbitaceae, is considered one most abundant alien plants spreading natural riparian forests, thickets, tall herbs, whereas it rare species urban woodlands. this study, we tested variability selected E. lobata connection...
Abstract Tall-herb communities play an important role in the vegetation of European mountains. They are developed humid habitats with nutrient-rich soil, from submontane to subalpine zones. As its contemporary flora consists different geographical elements, their history, especially relation climatic oscillations throughout Pleistocene, is not straightforward. We analyze phylogeography Doronicum austriacum , one main species building Central tall-herb communities. additionally discuss these...
Generative processes have been evaluated in six European buttercup species order to verify the hypothesis that reproduction efficiency of clonal is lower than nonclonal ones. The study covered common (Ficaria verna, Ranunculus auricomus, R. bulbosus, cassubicus, lanuginosus) and endangered illyricus. following properties assessed: pollen viability (staining method), grain germination pollen-tube elongation pistil tissues (fluorescence microscopy), seed formation efficiency, (tetrazolium...
The paper presents a syntaxonomical revision of plant communities in the Carpathians dominated by Rumex alpinus L. study has been based on 252 published releves obtained various Carpathian massifs, pre- senting phytocoenoses anthropogenic (zoogenic) origin, and probably natural ones as well. As result nu- merical analyses, three associations were distinguished: Aconito firmi-Rumicetum alpini, Heracleo pal- mati-Rumicetum alpini (which are associations), an association known Rumicetum alpini....
