In Slovenian semi-dry grasslands, over half of species are clonal. Clonal traits vary with soil conditions and community type, highlighting the need for fine-scale habitat management to preserve species and functional diversity.

Pulsatilla grandis is vanishing! A 19-year monitoring study in Czechia revealed a 20% population loss and a 25% decline in flowering individuals. Effective habitat management is crucial to reverse this trend and protect other endangered dry grassland species.

Urtica kioviensis is a rare species of river basins. Hybridization with the widespread U. dioica was confirmed at six sites in central Europe. It affects genetic integrity of U. kioviensis and can pose a risk to small populations of this species. preslia.cz/doi/preslia.2024.329.html

Gravel bars in the Elbe River host specific vegetation, incl. alien and endangered plants. The duration of flooding determines the vegetation, but not the seed bank composition. The seed bank acts as a reservoir, allowing regeneration after disturbance. preslia.cz/doi/preslia....
