Combining mechanical control and tree planting to restore montane Atlantic forests dominated by the Neotropical bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum)

Rafael O. Xavier et al.

Summary: Climate and land-use changes have led to the dominance of native herbaceous plants in degraded tropical forests, causing losses in biodiversity and ecosystem services. A study in southeast Brazil found that intensive mechanical removal of a shade-intolerant fern species decreased its dominance in Atlantic forests, but the benefits to forest recovery were limited due to lack of tree regeneration, impoverished seed banks, and invasive grasses.

How long do bracken (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) control treatments maintain effectiveness?

Ilgin Akpinar et al.

Summary: Pteridium aquilinum is a problematic invasive species in the British uplands, and there is a lack of knowledge on long-term weed control and land improvement. The effects of six control treatments on P. aquilinum were assessed at two acid-grassland sites in Scotland. The results showed different treatment effects for P. aquilinum-performance, agricultural improvement, and species richness in the two experiments.

Long-term effects of sheep-grazing and its removal on vegetation dynamics of British upland grasslands and moorlands; local management cannot overcome large-scale trends

Josu G. Alday et al.

Summary: The upland and mountainous regions of northern Europe provide a variety of ecosystem services, which are vulnerable to environmental and land-use change. A long-term study in the UK found that upland plant communities responded differently to grazing pressure and atmospheric deposition. After 2000, the grazed plots showed improved species richness and abundance of vascular plants, mosses, and liverworts, but not lichens. The recovery was faster for vascular plants and mosses compared to liverworts.

Recent advances of quantitative modeling to support invasive species eradication on islands

Christopher M. Baker et al.

Summary: The eradication of invasive species on islands is crucial for managing these unique ecosystems, and mathematical models play a key role in decision-making. While there have been advancements in quantitative modeling for island eradication, there are still research gaps and challenges in forecasting ecosystem-wide impacts.
