Plant Functional Composition, Ecological Niche Distribution, and Biodiversity Measures Across Urban Grasslands of Different Size, Localisation, and Type
Urban grasslands (UGs) are among the most abundant type of green infrastructure in cities worldwide. They deliver a range of ecosystem services and perform numerous ecosystem functions. To ensure the multifunctionality of UGs, enhancing their biodiversity is crucial; however, owing to urbanisation effects and inappropriate management, UGs often have low species richness. While urban vegetation has been studied in general, detailed ecological insi…
Varying patterns of taxonomic and functional plant composition and diversity across different types of urban and rural grasslands
Semi‐natural grasslands are found predominantly in agricultural landscapes; however, their counterparts are also found in cities, referred to as urban grasslands. We sampled the most extensive patches of urban grasslands in Wrocław (Poland, Europe) in urban parks and along a river valley. We compared urban grasslands to broadly defined rural grasslands in terms of compositional gradients and both taxonomic and functional diversity. We also tested…
People and plants - close relationships at the crossroads of the Silk Roads
Background: This study examines the spatial relationship between human populations, livestock and wild useful plants in Tajikistan, a key area along the ancient Silk Roads. It aims to understand how the distribution of these plants correlates with the presence of humans and livestock. Methods: The study uses statistical analyses, including the LSVM model, to assess the distribution of 4269 plant species, of which 1823 are identified as useful. Va…
Restoration of ecologically valuable grassland on sites degraded by invasive Solidago
Most semi‐natural grasslands are threatened by invasive alien plants, which have also overgrown abandoned fields. We conducted a 6‐year experiment testing different methods of eliminating invasive Solidago species and adding seed to restore valuable species‐rich grassland. Three removal treatments (herbicide spraying, rototilling, turf stripping) and two seed addition methods (direct sowing of a fast‐growing grass species mixture, spreading of fr…
