Wetland ecosystems are important reservoirs of biodiversity and significantly contribute to emissions of the greenhouse gases CO2, N2O, and CH4. High anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs from agriculture and fossil fuel combustion have been recognized as a severe threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, such as control of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is important to understand ...

In this study, we carry out a revision of the Italian specimens belonging to Juncus L. subgenus Agathryon Raf. sect. Tenageia Dumort stored in Herbarium Centrale Italicum Museum Natural History University Florence. By re-examining 650 present, find that all taxa section are present herbarium. This work also allows us highlight several novelties concerning species distribution at regional level,...

Abstract This study provides the first contribution to knowledge of non-calcareous grasslands arenaceous sector Monti Sibillini National Park (central Italy). We conducted 55 relevés using Braun-Blanquet phytosociological method and analysed ecology plant communities by Redundancy analysis topographic variables Ellenberg Indicator Values as predictors. identified nine communities, belonging fou...

Phytoremediation encompasses an array of plant-associated processes known to mitigate contaminants from soil, sediment, and water. Modification of pesticides associated with agricultural runoff includes processes directly associated with aquatic macrophytes in addition to changes in soil geochemistry and associated rhizospheric degradation. Remediation attributes of two vegetative species commo...

A partially peat-extracted coastal bog contaminated by seawater was barren and required revegetation as a wetland. Peat fields were rectangular in shape, cambered in cross-section profile, and separated by drainage ditches. Common to all peat fields were symmetrical patterns in micro-topography with slopes between differences in elevation. Saline non-waterlogged slopes of ∼5% occurred as a symm...
