Allelopathic effects of Rumex obtusifolius leaf extracts against native grassland species
In perennial grasslands R. obtusifolius (broad-leaved dock) is often surrounded by certain plant species. Thus, it is hypothesized for the current study that Rumex can affect their neighbouring plant species by allelopathic interactions. To test this hypothesis, in a series of laboratory and field experiments aqueous extracts of green R. obtusifolius leaves were sprayed on seeds of 14 herbaceou...
متن کاملMechanical weeding of Rumex obtusifolius L. under different N, P and K availabilities in permanent grassland
In Europe, Rumex obtusifolius L. is the most problematic grassland weed species, especially under the conditions of organic farming. The aims of this study were (1) to investigate the effectiveness of repeated mechanical weeding of R. obtusifolius from the permanent sward, cut two or three times per year, by digging the plants out from 5 cm below the soil surface, and (2) to test the effect of ...
متن کاملA New Anthraquinone Isolated from Rumex Obtusifolius
In this research we studied Rumex obtusifolius (Polygonaceae) along with other plants used in traditional medicine in relation to the chemical reaction FBIT (Ferriprotoporphyrine Biocrystallization Inhibition Test) which may provide information on a possible action mechanism for presumed antimalarial plants. According to folk medicine Rumex obtusifolius has a pronounced detoxifying effect on th...
متن کاملPredicted avian responses to bioenergy development scenarios in an intensive agricultural landscape
Conversion of native prairie to agriculture has increased food and bioenergy production but decreased wildlife habitat. However, enrollment of highly erodible cropland in conservation programs has compensated for some grassland loss. In the future, climate change and production of second-generation perennial biofuel crops could further transform agricultural landscapes and increase or decrease ...
متن کاملExtensive Management Promotes Plant and Microbial Nitrogen Retention in Temperate Grassland
Leaching losses of nitrogen (N) from soil and atmospheric N deposition have led to widespread changes in plant community and microbial community composition, but our knowledge of the factors that determine ecosystem N retention is limited. A common feature of extensively managed, species-rich grasslands is that they have fungal-dominated microbial communities, which might reduce soil N losses a...
