Abstract. Today, city planners design urban futures by considering environmental degradation and climate mitigation. Here, we studied the greenhouse gas fluxes of urban lawns and meadows and linked the observations with plant functional types and soil properties. In eight lawns and eight meadows in the Helsinki metropolitan area, Finland, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes were measured using manual chambers, and plant functional types were recorded. Four of these sites, i.e. an irrigated lawn, an old mesic meadow, a non-irrigated lawn and a young dry meadow, we

Abstract:

Valuing sedimentary ‘blue carbon’ stocks of seagrass meadows requires exclusion of allochthonous recalcitrant forms of carbon, such as black carbon (BC). Regression models constructed across a Southeast Asian tropical estuary predicted that carbon stocks within the sandy meadows of coastal embayments would support a modest but not insignificant amount of BC. We tested the prediction across three coastal meadows of the same region: one patchy meadow located close to a major urban centre and two continuous meadows contained in separate open embayments of a rural marine park; all differed in fetc

Abstract With increasing urbanization, it is necessary to create green infrastructure in cities and urban areas to improve not only the quality of life for residents, but also the health and sustainability of local ecosystems. One effective way to create green spaces is by establishing meadows filled with diverse plant species. These meadows can provide numerous benefits, such as aiding pollinator conservation, improving air and water quality, and increasing biodiversity. Therefore, creating these meadows is an important component of urban ecology. Seven types of flower meadow mixtures from a

Abstract Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered the foremost threats in pollinator decline, and in England and Wales, 97% of wildflower meadows were lost by 1984. The value of creating flower-rich margins in agricultural environments is established, yet there is growing potential to support pollinator populations in urban landscapes. We used citizen science to investigate the effectiveness of small 4m2 sown wildflower ‘mini-meadows’ in UK gardens and allotments in recruiting beneficial insects.

Abstract:

Grassland ecosystems are increasingly vulnerable as they are threatened by both intensive agriculture and abandonment of land use, which leads to overgrowth with scrub vegetation and forest. Given that meadows are habitat types of very high biodiversity, their loss significantly reduces local biodiversity. That is why the University Botanic Gardens Ljubljana has been renting a 2 ha dry meadow at the edge of Ljubljana capital city since 2001, for the purpose of in situ conservation in the urban area. We have been observing the meadow since 1997. In 2023, in addition to the complete inventory of

During a three-year trial, engineered soils with improved properties (increased water storage capacity, infiltration rate and pore volume) were tested for their suitability as seepage troughs compared to topsoil. In addition to the standard

Abstract:

Tularemia natural foci were investigated in the 15 districts of the Voronezh region. 1533 small mammals of 11 species were captured in 2011, 2014 and 2015 to identify antigen and/or DNA of tularemia pathogen. In all the studied areas there are continuous epizootic of tularemia among small mammals. In the region there are permanent natural meadow-field, floodplain- swamp and forest foci. We can assume the existence of another focus, it is a steppe type. The most active foci observed in Kashirsky, Novokhopyorsky, Petropavlosky and Ramonsky districts. The stability and activity of natural foci is

Abstract:

Abstract Background and Aims European mesic meadows are semi-natural open habitats of high biodiversity and an essential part of European landscapes. These species-rich communities can be a source of seed mixes for ecological restoration, urban greening and rewilding. However, limited knowledge of species germination traits is a bottleneck to the development of a competitive native seed industry. Here, we synthesize the seed ecology of mesic meadows. Methods We combined our own experimental data with data obtained from databases to create a combined dataset containing 2005 germination records

1. Diversity of invertebrate pollinators is essential in supporting flowering plant species richness, including agricultural crops. In the UK, losses are reported for bees, hoverflies, butterflies and moths. Urban green spaces are essential refugia for these groups, and restoration of these areas can improve pollinator diversity through improved floral resources.<br/> 2. Our research aimed to compare two differently managed areas of urban amenity grassland for their insect pollinators, with transect surveys of butterflies, bumblebees, solitary bees and hoverflies.<br/> 3.

We tested the hypothesis of the effect of soils transformed by invasive plants (Acer negundo L. and Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden.) on native plants germination. We conducted vegetation experiments in germination of Festuca rubra L. and Trifolium repens L. in upper layer of urban soil collected in invasive plants thickets and in nearby areas without invasive plants in 2016–2017. We also used the sod-podzolic soil from old suburban meadow as a control. Differences in seed germination on soils transformed by invasive plants and non-transformed soils were insignificant.

Abstract:

The article discusses the results of soil-geochemical studies carried out on the territory of the Chelyabinsk urban district. The features of the profile distribution of pollutants within the landscape catena are established. The maximum concentrations of heavy metals are confined to the upper soil horizons of the eluvial position under forest vegetation. The soils of the superaquatic position under moist meadow and swamp vegetation are less polluted. The most polluted soil layer is located at a depth of 4-10 cm from the surface. This may be due to a decrease in heterogeneous emissions from th

The prevalence and intensity of Capillaria hepatica infections in four rodent species (Rattus norvegicus, Mus musculus, Microtus pennsylvanicus, and Peromyscus leucopus) trapped from sites in different habitats of Baltimore were examined from 1980 to 1986. Norway rats were frequently infected (87.4%), house mice rarely infected (5.4%), and no lesions were observed in meadow voles or white-footed mice. Rats from residential locations had significantly higher prevalence and intensity of infection compared with rats from parkland locations, findings not related to differences in the age structure

The analysis of the local regulation effects is required for sustainable and effective land utilization because land use/land cover (LULC) changes are not only determined by human activity but are also affected by national policy and regulation; however, previous studies for land use/land cover (LULC) have mainly been conducted on the LULC changes using past experience. This study, therefore, analyzed the effects of local regulations aimed at preserving the water quality in South Korea. To this end, changes in LULC were simulated using the CA-Markov model under conditions in which two local re

The protagonist of this article is urban subnature, as seen through the eyes of the interwar poet Władysław Sebyła. Subnatural forms of life, such as invasive species or entire ecosystems existing in urban puddles, in soot, and in dust, are a natural reality that seems interesting as an overlooked part of the natural history of cities—a history dominated by aesthetic perceptions. Due to hygienic and aesthetic ideas, the presence of subnature in urban space was considered a sign of civilizational backwardness.

Abstract ContextAnthropogenic landscape modification and fragmentation result in loss of species and can alter ecosystem function. Assessment of the ecological value of urban reserve networks requires baseline and continued monitoring. However, depending on the desired indicators and parameters, effective monitoring can involve extensive sampling that is often financially or logistically infeasible. AimsWe employed a low-intensity, mixed-detector survey design to monitor the small-mammal community across a network of 53 fragmented forest preserves (225 sites) in a highly urbanised landscape in
