Fires will become an increasingly frequent perturbation even under the conditions of mild climate zone and interfere with agricultural landscape. Fire is a natural phenomenon, depending on ecosystems, vegetation may develop contribute to occurrence spread fire. Vegetation sour cherry orchard located in climatically dry South Moravian Region, Czech Republic (CR), was evaluated. assessment perfor...

Question: How do different regeneration scenarios shape species composition at two stages of plant community establishment (emergence and net recruitment) in an early succession? Location: Northern Spain. Methods: In a recently ploughed field, we created eight regene­ ration scenarios with light, water and nitrogen availability (five replicates each). Seedlings of all species were monitored fro...

This paper presents new data on the occurrence of 16 vascular plant species from five Eurasian countries obtained during field explorations, as well taxonomic revisions herbarium materials. Five taxa (<i>Draba fladnizensis</i>, <i>Gentiana orbicularis</i>, <i>Helianthus giganteus</i>, <i>Symphyotrichum cordifolium</i>, <i>Thalictrum alpinum&...

Introduction: Bone metabolism disorder (BMD) and vascular dysfunction contribute to excess cardiovascular mortality observed in hemodialysis patients. Vascular dysfunction, a new marker of atherosclerosis, can play a role in this risk. Even though associated with higher mortality in the general population, such vascular evaluation in patients on hemodialysis has not been extensively studied. ...

The current global change and resulting biodiversity loss pose a threat to ecosystem functioning highlight the need for better understanding of mechanisms underlying community stability (Craven et al., 2018; McCann, 2000; Sala 2000). Community can be defined as inverse variability in total abundance over time (McCann, Tilman, 1999). For long time, has been thought positively related species div...
