NEW ARTICLE: Plant diversity in old-growth woods: the case of the forest edges of the Favorita Park in Palermo (north-western Sicily, Italy)
LINK: https://plantsociology.arphahub.com/article/114343/
This article presents the results of a study on plant diversity at different levels in residual forest stands, located in the historical Favorita Park in Palermo, Italy (established and named in 1799 by King Ferdinand IV of the House of Bourbon). These forest aspects have naturally evolved for over....

Ecosystem restoration is a hot topic in the scientific community and the urgency of a long-term and sustained recovery of biodiverse and resilient nature is increasingly recognised politically, with the European Nature Restoration Law being the first continent-wide law on ecosystem restoration. Venice has long been recognised as the stage of the world and, for its long history of resilience and integration with the natural environment, has been appointed the Sustainability Capital of the World. We are therefore delighted to invite you to the 57th International Congress of the Italian Society of Vegetation Science, where Venice will once again become the world's stage on which ecosystem restoration will be the theme of the play.

NEW ARTICLE: Patterns of floral resources and pollination interactions along dry grassland succession
LINK: https://plantsociology.arphahub.com/article/115498/
Succession following the abandonment of traditional management practices can pose severe consequences for the conservation of semi-natural dry grassland communities. In the present study, we investigated whether the quantity of floral resources changes during succession of semi-natural dry grassland...

Bryophytes are a group of land plants of small size but with a large ecological impact. Although the bryophytes display high species diversity, a major limitation in their use as study organisms has been the lack of basic floristic, ecological, and alpha-taxonomic knowledge in many regions. The dist...
