Allergies to grass pollen affects about 20% of the population worldwide. In the last few decades, the South American grass Cortaderia selloana (CS, Pampas grass) has expanded worldwide in a variety of countries including ...
The leaf economic and plant size spectra of European forest understory vegetation
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Forest understories play a vital role in ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services. However, the extent to which environmental conditions drive dominant ecological strategies in forest understories at ...
Plant functional and taxonomic diversity in European grasslands along climatic gradients
(Wiley, 2021-05)
Aim European grassland communities are highly diverse, but patterns and drivers of their continental-scale diversity remain elusive. This study analyses taxonomic and functional richness in European grasslands along ...
Biological and synthetic approaches to inhibiting nitrification in non‑tilled Mediterranean soils
(Springer, 2021-10-13)
[EN] Background: The increasing demand for food production has led to a tenfold increase in nitrogen (N) fertilizer use since the Green Revolution. Nowadays, agricultural soils have been turned into high-nitrifying ...
