The massive abandonment of arable land in Russia the 1990s had a heavy impact on country’s land-use structure. cessation cultivation leads to decrease provisioning ecosystem services within landscape, while creating an opportunity enhance supply diverse regulation services. Consideration this is increasingly important for environmental management and landscape planning. In article, we present a...

The Romanian hamster Mesocricetus newtoni is endemic to South-Eastern Romania (Dobruja region) and North-Eastern Bulgaria, prefers steppic, arid, uncultivated habitats, but also found in alfalfa fields, less often corn cultures field-protecting vegetation belts. Previous studies provide only limited data regarding the diet of this cryptic species. one family group (one female four pups) was mon...

If we better understand how fungal responses to global change are governed by their traits, can improve predictions of community composition and ecosystem function. Specifically, examine trade-offs among in which the allocation finite resources toward one trait reduces investment others. We hypothesized that traits relating rapid growth, resource capture, stress tolerance sort species into disc...

Ground-ivy ( Glechoma hederacea L.) is a widespread stoloniferous plant that grows in several ecologically diverse habitats: the open, at forest edge, and understorey. The vegetation of ground-ivy habitats was studied NE Slovenia terms floristic richness diversity, biological spectrum, phytogeography syntaxonomy. We identified five clusters distinct with occurrence ground-ivy, differentiated ac...

Abstract The metaphor of the archipelago has informed ideas about Berlin's post‐war and post‐wall fractured urban landscape as well recent work on sexual minorities in city. In context landscape, image refers to green islands spontaneous vegetation sites left behind by bomb damage border infrastructure, while scholarship sexuality, it suggests a more dispersed distribution minority nightlife th...

Abstract Caigua ( Cyclanthera pedata (L.) Schrad.) is a native species of the Andes. Its fruits are recently gaining attention as herbal and healthy product. A landrace traditionally cultivated in Camonica Valley (Italian Alps), called “Ciuenlai” (or “Milione/Milioncino”), almost unknown. For this reason, phytochemical, nutritional ecological (functional strategy) characterization was carried o...

• We related land snail ecological parameters to characteristics of riparian forests. Both abundance and diversity responded habitat characteristics. Habitat continuity was the main factor affecting surveyed communities. Land snails may be used as indicators forest quality. Riparian ecosystems are crucial for landscape-level biodiversity, especially in highly anthropic agricultural areas. Altho...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are mutualistic symbionts associated with most terrestrial plants. HMA communities vary in composition and life histories affected by land use management. The caldén forests (Prosopis caldenia Burkart) the province of San Luis have suffered a considerable reduction their area. Currently, its relics part landscape made up lands cultivated Medicago sativa L. (al...

Vineyards are an appropriate model for testing the filtering effect of management practices on weed communities, as a wide range (tillage, herbicides and mowing) is implemented. The aim this study to highlight which trait values selected by each practice in different environmental conditions, with special references Grime's CSR strategies. A combination multivariate analysis (RLQ) fourth-corner...
