Two semelparous biennial hemiparasites of wet grasslands, Pedicularis palustris and P.
sylvatica (Scrophulariaceae), have been declining in the Czech Republic due to land …

Question Hemiparasitic plants can profoundly affect the structure of the community in which
they occur, mainly due to parasitic suppression of hosts. As a consequence, non‐host …

Euphrasia stricta var. suecica, E. stricta var. tenuis, and Rhinanthus serotinus subsp.
vernalis are three endangered, hemiparasitic annual herbs found in traditionally managed …

1 Population increases in Solidago altissima, an aggressive invader in central Europe, can
be due to clonal growth by rhizomes or sexual reproduction by seeds. We studied transitions …

Restoration of species-rich, semi-natural grasslands is one of the key conservation
challenges in Europe. Many of these grasslands have lost their diversity due to agricultural …

Restoration projects in previously intensively used wet grassland areas in Europe showed
that the re-establishment of target plant species can be strongly limited by propagule …

In stressful and harsh environments, safe sites for seedling recruitment may be created by
nurse plants, which accumulate propagules and subsequently facilitate the establishment of …

Dry grasslands are endangered habitats across Europe, and their restoration requires
increasing attention, including their re‐creation on arable land. We studied spontaneous …

Question: How does vegetation and management affect the population stage structure of
Serratula tinctoria, a species indicative of highly endangered and species‐rich flood‐plain …

Preserved grasslands commonly host species‐rich plant communities but a large part of the
grasslands were plowed up in the past. Their restoration often requires a long time and …
