Understanding how biotic and abiotic factors govern the assembly of rhizosphere-microbial communities is a long-standing goal in microbial ecology. In phytoremediation research, where plants are used to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils, a deeper understanding of rhizosphere-microbial ecology is needed to fully exploit the potential of microbial-assisted phytoremediation. This study inve...

Abstract We elucidated the reaction of ruderal vegetation community to environmental changes. It made it possible assess level and nature synanthropic dynamics, fluctuation processes, also indicate scenarios evolution communities throughout changes, in particular, climate In this study, we used original methods: synphytoindications estimation change impact species according their ecological str...

In this study, the long-term restoration success of calcareous grasslands was investigated using a functional trait approach. The study site is located in Swabian Alb, Germany, where former grassland patch restored 1990s by clearance spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) afforestation and subsequent reintroduction sheep grazing as mobile dispersal vector. Vegetation development monitored over per...
