Unravelling the resistance mechanisms to 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) in corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas)
(Elsevier Inc., 2016-10)In southern Europe, the intensive use of 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and tribenuron-methyl in cereal crop systems has resulted in the evolution of resistant (R) corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.) biotypes. Experiments ... -
Update on the risk of introduction of african swine fever by wild boar into disease-free European Union countries
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2016-07-06)Despite efforts to prevent the appearance and spread of African swine fever (ASF) in the European Union, several Member States are now affected (Lithuania, Poland, Latvia and Estonia). Disease appearance in 2014 was ... -
Using fitness parameters to evaluate three oilseed Brassicaceae species as potential oil crops in two contrasting environments
(Elsevier, 2017)Thlaspi arvense and Camelina sativa have gained considerable attention as biofuel crops. But in some areas, these species, including C. microcarpa, are becoming rare arable plants because of agricultural intensification. ... -
Using the response-effect trait framework to quantify the value of fallow patches in agricultural landscapes to pollinators
(Wiley, 2018-02-10)Questions: What is the role of managed fallow habitats in providing resources for pollination services in agricultural landscapes? How is resource provision affected by fallow management and landscape structure? Can the ... -
Valoración de los recursos pastorales de la comarca de la Alta Ribagorça (pirineos centrales, Catalunya): repercusión sobre el proceso de conversión a ganadería ecológica
(Sociedad Española para el Estudio de los Pastos, 2005)La conversión de más de la mitad de las explotaciones ganaderas de la comarca de la Alta Ribagorça al sistema productivo ecológico puede verse comprometida por la falta de pastos y forrajes certificados como tales. Este ... -

Vegetation dynamics patterns, biodiversity conservation and structure of forest ecosystems in the wildlife reserve of Togodo in Togo, West Africa
(International Journal Development Research, 2017-08)The importance of protected areas in providing ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation is recognised all over the world by numerous authors. The study aimed to establish a diagnosis of the dynamics of the land use ... -
Una visión actual del control de malas hierbas en cultivos extensivos
(Eumedia, 2008)En los cultivos extensivos el control de las malas hierbas es un aspecto de gran importancia para obtener la máxima producción posible y facilitar su manejo y cosecha. Sin embargo, en la actualidad hay una demanda ... -
Vulnerability of riparian ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin to invasion by exotic plants: the case of middel-low Segre river (Catalonia, NW Iberian peninsula)
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2010)The aim of this paper is to validate the use of additive partitioning diversity models (species richness & Shannon index) and the mosaic landscape factors used in landscape ecology on the plant diversity present in the ... -
Weed resistance to synthetic auxin herbicides
(JohnWiley & Sons Ltd, 2018)Herbicides classified as synthetic auxins have been most commonly used to control broadleaf weeds in a variety of crops and in non-cropland areas since the first synthetic auxin herbicide (SAH), 2,4-D, was introduced to ... -
Weed seed fate during summer fallow: The importance of seed predation and seed burial
(Weed Science Society of America, 2017)Maximizing weed seed exposure to seed predators by delaying post-harvest tillage has been suggested as a way to increase weed seed loss to predation in arable fields. However, in some areas of northeastern Spain, fields ... -
Weed suppression greatly increased by plant diversity in intensively managed grasslands: A continental-scale experiment
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-09-27)1. Grassland diversity can support sustainable intensification of grassland production through increased yields, reduced inputs and limited weed invasion. We report the effects of diversity on weed suppression from 3 years ... -
Weeds in Cover Crops: Context and Management Considerations
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)Cover crops are increasingly being adopted to provide multiple ecosystem services such as improving soil health, managing nutrients, and decreasing soil erosion. It is not uncommon for weeds to emerge in and become a part ... -
Which trait dissimilarity for functional diversity: traitmeans or trait overlap?
(Wiley, 2013)Question: Many functional diversity indices require the calculation of functional trait dissimilarities between species. However, very little is known about how the dissimilarity measure used might affect conclusions ...
