While the upward shift of plant species has been observed on many alpine and nival summits, reaction subalpine lower communities to current warming snow precipitation little investigated so far. To this aim, 63 old, exhaustive inventories, distributed along a subalpine-alpine elevation gradient Swiss Alps covering different community types (acidic calcareous grasslands; windy ridges; snowbeds), were revisited after 25-50 years. Old recent inventories compared in terms diversity with Simpson...
Abstract Passive Biomonitoring with the folious lichen Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl. has been tested in Switzerland. Multielement analyses enable qualitative and quantitative conclusions about composition amount of important active pollutants. Many elements correlate well general air pollution indicator IAP18. possess good accumulation capacity for The method calibrated Pb Cu technical deposition measurements. “Passive Biomonitoring” “Calibrated Lichen Indication Method” compose together an...
SUMMARY Samples of the lichen Parmelia sulcata Taylor were collected in vicinity 17 air pollution monitoring stations northern part Switzerland and its bordering area. Net photosynthesis, dark respiration, content [ 35 S]‐sulphate S]‐protein after cultivation with SO 4 2− , as well chlorophyll protein contents measured. Mean values respiration not significantly different plant material from various locations. Most mean net photosynthesis differed less than average standard deviation. The...

The concept of transgenic gene transfer from crops to closely related weeds is considered, using the example a crop with transformed disease resistance. Definitions weeds, their characteristics and origins, emphasis on displaying weed characteristics, case studies rape sugarbeet, reversion wild types are introduced. Weeds evolving hybridizations between species, herbicide tolerant enhanced weediness in considered.
