Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the floristic changes occurred between 1991 and 2018 in “Pineto Urban Regional Park” (Rome) as a result land-use change that mid-90s led abandonment traditional pasture practices shift more intense frequentation for recreational purposes. About 25 years after management area has similar richness, but it characterized by high turnover rate, significan...

Supplementary feeding of birds may have considerable ecological and evolutionary effects on bird communities. However, there is a lack basic information the prevalence, frequency quality supplementary feeders, especially in African urban areas. Here we describe reliability artificial nectar feeders suburbs Cape Floristic Region, South Africa, where many bird-pollinated plant species occur. Resu...

A study has been made of the relationships between the characteristics of the riparian vegetation (floristic composition, structure and diversity) and the spatial-temporal variation of the quality of the stream waters in a basin under a semiarid Mediterranean climate in the southeastern Iberian Peninsula. The plant communities of the high reaches present greater specific richness and diversity ...

Terrestrial herbs are important elements of tropical forests; however, there is a lack of research on their diversity patterns and how they respond to different intensities of forest-use. The aim of this study was to analyze the diversity of herbaceous angiosperms along gradients of elevation (50 m to 3500 m) and forest-use intensity on the eastern slopes of the Cofre de Perote, Veracruz, Mexic...

Question: What are the effects of fire in native shrubland communities and in pine plantations established in these shrublands? Location: Northern Patagonia, Argentina. Methods: We surveyed four sites in Chall–Huaco valley, located in northwest Patagonia. Each site was a vegetation mosaic composed of an unburned Pinus ponderosa plantation, a plantation burned in 1996, and an unburned matorral a...

Abstract Mozambique biodiversity richness plays a pivotal role to achieve the sustainable development of country. However, Mozambique’s flora and fauna diversity still remains broadly unknown poorly documented. To properly address this issue, one strategic needs expressed by Mozambican institutions was national data repository aggregate, manage make available online. Thus, infrastructure for st...
