“…Furthermore, the four species that ranked higher IV in NVT (above 50), were previously reported in association with tillage (Verdú & Mas, 2004;Plaza et al, 2011). On the other hand, some of the more important species within NVM assemblage (Hordeum murinum L., Torilis nodosa (L.) Gaertner, Calendula arvensis L., Lamarckia aurea (L.) Moench, Campanula erinus L., and Poa annua L.) were reported in association with mowing (Mas et al, 2007) and other (Lolium rigidum Gaudin, Aegilops triuncialis L., Medicago spp., Galium tricornutum Dandy, and Hordeum murinum) with less intense tillage farming systems (Saavedra & Pastor, 1995;Plaza et al, 2011;Solomou & Sfougaris, 2011). Moreover, Galium tricornutum and Anthemis arvensis L., associated only with NVM, are arable species threatened in other European countries (Storkey et al, 2012).…”
