cf. F.A. 32 Nos. 4094, 6036.] Seeds were sown on (a) undisturbed forest sites, (b) sites cleaned by pulling out the weeds, and (c) hoed forest sites, ...

Agricultural intensification has resulted in the reduction and fragmentation of species-rich grasslands across much of western Europe. We examined the...

The intensification of agriculture has resulted in the decline of many plant species of nutrient-poor wet grasslands. At some sites local populations ...

Understanding and quantifying constraints to multiple ecosystem service delivery and biodiversity is vital for developing management strategies for cu...

Reinvasion pressure is the rate of new exotic recruitment following mature exotic removal and it can vary broadly among similarly invaded habitats. Re...

Accumulation of recovering vegetation is often the principal mechanism limiting nutrient loss following large-scale disturbance of forest ecosystems. ...

In a study on a peat moor in Somerset (SW England, 51°12′N, 2°49′W) in 1991, assessments were made of the soil seed bank in March, and of the abovegro...
