Assessment of an Impact of Mechanical Regulation on Selected Morphometric and Productive Parameters of Invasive Species Solidago Canadensis Population in Agricultural Land

Abstract

Assessment of an impact of mechanical regulation on selected morphometric and productive parameters of invasive Solidago canadensis population in agricultural land.

Survey of the Solidago canadensis L. Morphological Traits and Essential Oil Production: Aboveground Biomass Growth and Abundance of the Invasive Goldenrod Appears to Be Reciprocally Enhanced within the Invaded Stands

“…Based on the results obtained, S. canadensis morphological features and essential oil productivity rate varied significantly during the growing season (Tables 1-3). In accordance with the other findings [7,20], we noticed the growth peak of Canadian goldenrod within the period of August and early September (Tables 1-3).…”

“…Absence of the regular mechanisms against goldenrod within the autochthonous plots, plus hands-free management, bring benefits, too, as the soil culturing and mowing decreased the growth of S. canadensis [7,20,43,44].…”

“…Accordingly, a measure of the goldenrod biomass growth directly reflects the success of this invasive neophyte on the local scale and quasi predicts the future course of the invasion. Equally, the morphological features survey gives a basis for balanced and optimized management of Solidago and, subsequently, feedback on the effectiveness of various management practices applied with the aim of reducing goldenrod biomass or restoring the invaded plots [20][21][22].…”

Synflorescence regeneration after cutting in Solidago ×niederederi (Asteraceae), a hybrid between invasive S. canadensis and native S. virgaurea

“…Regeneration of flowers and inflorescences can be easily observed in alien plants growing in anthropogenic (i.e., arable fields with cereals, lawns, roadsides, railway embankments, and flood banks) and semi-natural (meadows and grasslands) habitats, where the plant cover is subjected to the cutting. On the other hand, regular cutting (mowing or shredding) has been recommended to control many invasive plants (e.g., Pyšek et al 2007;Bohren et al 2008;Dudley et al 2009;Simard and Benoit 2011;Tokarska-Guzik et al 2011;Končeková et al 2015;Monty et al 2015;Lommen et al 2018 and references therein). It is known that regeneration capability depends on the height, the timing and frequency of the cutting.…”

Prospects For Using Two Alien Solidago L. Species, Invaded The Natural Communities Of The Hron River (Slovakia)

“…Во время наших предыдущих поездок по Словакии (2010, 2011, 2015) мы отметили, что по Дунаю распространена преимущественно Solidago gigantea, единичные экземпляры этого таксона найдены нами по берегу реки Ваги в г. Комарно и в г. Тренчин, а также в г. Банска Штявница. Однако более широко распространена в Словакии Solidago canadensis (Končeková et al, 2015). В 2010 -2015 гг.…”
