Plant communities in green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) such as biofilters play an integral role ecosystem services provisioning, that many design manuals now feature plant lists guide vegetation selection. This study looks at the implications of those for biofilter and their services, focusing on (1) how plants are selected across US climate zones, (2) whether exhibit adaptive strategy bias...

The peculiarities of agriculture technologies in modern greenhouse cause complications screening natural enemies, because increasing the requirements for their adaptive abilities, feasibility cost-effective mass production, long-term storage and transportation. To be effective greenhouses species should start breeding as quickly possible pest hot spots have appeared. Adopted enemies mainly rude...

Plant colonization on archaeological structures is limited by the substrate conditions of stone surfaces. Despite its relevance for ecological studies and management plans sites, knowledge monuments (e.g., stones, microhabitats, microsites), which could be suitable sites plant establishment, an underestimated topic. Here, we aim to identify preference plants in colonizing surfaces as a first st...

Vegetation is often classified through phytosociology, which defines floristically and ecologically coherent units identified by diagnostic species. Since species- community-environment relations are regulated plant functional traits, it likely that phytosociology has a strong underpinning, although the past current does not explicitly tackle this issue. Here we provide an analysis of traits 22...

The paper presents the first data of an unreported plant community dominated by Hordeum leporinum Link and Bituminaria bituminosa (L.) Stirt. (class Stellarietea mediae R. Tx., Lohmeyer et Preising in R.Tx. 1950). It is currently established four localities region Black Sea coast, between town Ravda Nessebar, Bulgaria. Among characteristic features are: (i) it occupies places with active human ...

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of cereals in functioning natural ecosystems and their use for human life. They often play role dominants edifiers composition plant cover, primarily herbaceous types vegetation. But they also take part forest phytocenoses different zones. Within Ukraine, Poaceae family includes 71 genera (of which only 4 are culture) 208 species 15 [20]. The cerea...
