Ecosystem restoration can mitigate the impacts from human land‐use change by assisting the recovery of natural ecosystems. We developed an assessment framework using established international standards and monitored alpine vegetation recovery within restored zones along a hydropower‐dam road built in 2013 in the Knutshø landscape protected area, Norway. Using data collected in 2016, 2018 and 2021, we compared abiotic variables and vegetation indicators (cover, and community composition) in restored zones against directly adjacent intact zones within three different habitat types. After eight years, wetland habitat had similar cover of plant functional types and abiotic variables within restored and intact zones, while ridge and willow‐heath habitats had more cover of graminoids and less cover of shrubs in restored compared to intact zones. In addition, community composition in restored wetland habitat zones was similar to intact zones, while the community composition of restored zones in ridge and willow‐heath habitats was significantly different from adjacent intact zones. This suggests that restored wetland habitat in our study system is on a trajectory of recovery, but that recovery of other plant community types may require longer periods of time or, in some cases, may not be possible without further intervention because of alternative stable states. Our results underscore the need for long‐term monitoring and adaptive management to insure restoration success in alpine environments.","PeriodicalId":54716,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Botany","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140128682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accelerated successional processes in dune systems have resulted in the loss and degradation of ideal conditions for specialist dune slack species, hence the need for conservation management. We investigated the restoration of a dune slack in North Wales, UK, where vegetation and soil removal to 10 cm depth was undertaken to reinstate nutrient-poor, open and damp conditions. We assessed the outcomes of the management for dune slack communities over the 18 years since restoration. We also assessed the differences between restored and unrestored areas of dune slacks. The dunes were restored in the winter of 2004/2005, after which we conducted vegetation surveys in fixed quadrats for most years in the restored and adjacent, un-restored dune slacks. Species diversity and plant community composition changes over time were assessed using Shannon's index, multivariate analysis and indicator species analysis. Comparisons between the restored and unrestored areas of the dune slacks were also made. Ellenberg indicator values (EIVs) were examined to identify potential environmental drivers of post management successional changes. After 18 years the restored dune slacks developed a species-rich and diverse community. compared to the unrestored slacks. The establishment of species occurred rapidly in the first three years, followed by continued but slower increases in species richness and diversity. This is due to the addition of new species without losses of established species. EIVs show no significant difference over time suggesting the restored areas are still at an early stage of succession. Distinct stages of community change since restoration are characterised by different indicator species. Plants are likely to be largely recruited from an existing seed bank. Restoration by turf removal may be suitable for other low nutrient, species rich habitats dependent upon fluctuating groundwater levels.","PeriodicalId":54716,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Botany","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140075009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since its publication in 1842, only a few studies have reported on its morphological circumscription, thus remaining as a complex in the taxonomy of Quararibea. In addition, little is known about its geographic distribution, which, according to most authors, is restricted to the Cerrado Biome, characterized mainly by its dry forests. Therefore, we herein review and clarify the morphological circumscription and distribution of Q. floribunda in different vegetation types, designate a lectotype, and recognize its conservation status as vulnerable (VU). The present study is based on analysis of protologues and further pertinent literature. Several herbaria were consulted, both in person and online. Fieldwork was done between 2017 and 2020 in different locations of midwestern and southeastern Brazil, mainly in dry forests of the Cerrado Biome. We confirm that Q. floribunda also occurs in the Atlantic Forest Biome and that it is not exclusive to the Cerrado Biome, as previously thought. All known populations in this biome inhabit humid habitats, and as such, they are closer to the vegetation of the Atlantic Forest Biome than the typical Cerrado dry forests. In addition to assessing the conservation status of Q. floribunda, we evaluate its nomenclatural history, leading to the designation of a lectotype, finally highlighting vegetative and floral diagnostic characters. A distribution map is provided, as well as a morphological comparative analysis between species with foliar domatia in extra-Amazonian Brazil.","PeriodicalId":54716,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Botany","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140047053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rubiaceae (Rubioideae – Coussareeae), endemic genera of Chile and Andean Argentina, have historically been highly taxonomically unstable. Molecular analyses have confirmed Oreopolus as the sister group of Cruckshanksia; however, the relationships among its species are still not resolved because previous studies have not considered all species of the genus and the published topologies have many unsupported nodes. For this reason, we carried out a phylogenetic study with all the species currently recognized by recent revisions, using two nuclear DNA regions and five plastid regions, to elucidate the relationships between species. In addition, the evolutionary history of the group was estimated based on divergence times, and a character reconstruction was performed. The results corroborate that Oreopolus is the sister group of Cruckshanksia. Cruckshanksia is monophyletic and composed of two principal clades. Clade I is composed of Subclade I (C. pumila and C. verticillata) associated with C. montiana; Clade II is composed of Subclade II (C. palmae and C. macrantha) and Subclade III (C. lithiophila and C. hymenodon). With 81% probability the common ancestor of the genus Cruckshanksia had petaloid appendices associated with two independent lines of evolution. The probability that the common ancestor of the Oreopolus‒Cruckshanksia clade had equal calyx lobes is 50%.","PeriodicalId":54716,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Botany","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139977891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there has been limited attention given to its endophytic rhizobia and its potential benefits for plant growth due to a lack of knowledge about the existence of root nodules. In this study, we isolated nine bacterial strains from the root nodules after occasionally discovering the nodular-like structure in uncultivated three year P. fortunei roots and then sequenced the 16S rDNA and nifA sequencing to conduct the bacterial strain identifications. We then determined the carbon use capability and nitrogenase activity of the bacterial strains. The result of 16S rDNA sequencing indicated that the endophytic rhizobia belongs to the genus Agrobacterium, Rhizobium, Herbaspirillum and Burkholderia. The results of nifA sequencing indicated that the nifA gene was sequenced in strain PG-3, PG-5, PG-6, PG-7, PG-8 and PG-9 rather than in strain PG-1, PG-2 and PG-4. Besides, the nitrogenase activity of strain PG-9 was significantly higher than other bacterial strains. Redundancy analysis (RDA) results indicated that fructose, glucose, and sucrose were significantly related to the plant height, diameter, and biomass rather than other carbon sources and nitrogenase activity. Our research revealed that the majority of bacterial strains isolated from P. fortunei exhibited a broad carbon utilization pathway and have the potential to promote plant growth after re-Inoculation. This study aims to investigate the phylogeny of endophytic rhizobia in P. fortunei, and expand the range of non-legume hosts studied for future research on biological N-fixation.","PeriodicalId":54716,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Botany","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139981710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So far, 90% of the restoration effort has been on peatland restoration, with about 140 mires restored so far. There are three main restoration goals stated in the action plan: 1) limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, 2) climate adaptation and 3) improved ecological condition. Quantifying the outcome of the restoration actions is necessary to evaluate whether the goals of the action plan are met. A vegetation monitoring protocol was suggested before restoration started and has been implemented at five restoration sites. As the peatland restoration effort in Norway is increasing, it is timely to evaluate if the data currently collected can measure peatland restoration outcome. We evaluate the monitoring protocol based on statistical analyses of the data collected at two sites, describe how indicator species can be identified using generalized composition data used as the basis for classifying habitats in Norway (EcoSyst framework), and suggest the way forward for peatland restoration monitoring in Norway. Data collected according to the monitoring protocol can document changes in species composition at restoration sites, but has limitations when the ecological complexity at the sites increases and reference sites are unavailable. We argue that adjusting the monitoring protocol will: 1) facilitate alignment with existing peatland research; 2) connect better with monitoring programs where data is collected applying EcoSyst framework principles; and 3) enable upscaling to cover the wide variation emerging in peatland restoration.","PeriodicalId":54716,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Botany","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139560856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
