“…The effects of these factors on the weed flora have been reviewed in several European works, e.g. in Germany by Eggers (1984), Albrecht & Bachthaler (1990), Hilbig & Bachthaler (1992), Schneider et al (1994), Hofmeister & Garve (1998), Elsen et al (2006), Baessler & Klotz (2006); in the UK by Wilson (1992), Sutcliffe & Kay (2000), Robinson & Sutherland (2002); in Denmark by Andreasen et al (1996), in the Czech Republic by Lososová (2003) and Pyšek et al (2005); in Poland by Kornaś (1988); in Slovenia by Šilc & Čarni (2005); in Slovakia by Eliáš & Baranec (2005); and in Hungary by Pinke (2004), Pinke & Pál (2005), and Király et al (2006).…”

Abstract:The stubble-field weed community, dominated by Stachys annua, was generally distributed in Hungary until the 1950s on mid-heavy and heavy, base-rich soils. Stachys annua is an excellent nectar-producer, and from the nectar collected in its habitats popular stubble-honey was produced. This vegetation type has suffered significant decline, mainly due to the early ploughing of stubbles associated with the intensification of agriculture. In the present study, the floristic composition of this community is assessed based on 213 phytosociological records, and its distribution in the past ten years in western Hungary is mapped. Sixty-five percent of the species are of Eurasian, European and Mediterranean elements, and the largest proportion of the species are spring-germinating summer annuals. The proportion of insect-pollinated plant species is approximately 70%, and the species composition also offers significant seed food sources for farmland birds, e.g. Coturnix coturnix and Perdix perdix. Therefore this community should deserve a high conservation priority for biodiversity. The factors that offer the greatest threats to the continuing existence of this community type are intensive agricultural management and the increasing spread of Ambrosia artemisiifolia.

“…The changes in weed communities in Europe were analysed in many published works (e.g. Baessler and Klotz 2006, Lososová and Simonová 2008, Tyšer et al 2009). The results presented in these studies identify significant changes in weed communities, such as the species impoverishment of weed communities and the increasing occurrence of difficult-to-control weed species.…”

This paper reports on the within-habitat (α) and on the between-habitat (β) diversity of weed vegetation on arable land in the Czech Republic, influenced by management systems, crops grown and altitude. A phytocoenological survey was conducted from 2006 to 2008 during a vegetation period using relevés that were 100 m 2 in size, placed in the central part of fields. The species richness and the mean Sørensen dissimilarity were calculated. The statistically significant effects of the type of farming and altitude on species richness were recorded. The average species numbers in one relevé reached 9.17 and 21.17 in conventional and organic farming, respectively. In both management systems, an increasing number of species was recorded with increasing altitude. Statistically significant effects of all the variables were observed when evaluating β-diversity. Higher β-diversity was found in conventional farming.

“…seeds occurred in low quantity (Table 1). On the other hand, it seems that nowadays the importance of two other dicotyledonous weed species has clearly increased, showing the apparent positive abundance trend on crop fields of Central Europe and providing alternative food resources for Grey Partridges, namely Amaranthus retroflexus and Chenopodium album (Baessler & Klotz 2006, Rola et al 2002; they constitute 9.1% and 3.2% of all food items found in our study (Table 1). In western Europe only Chenopodium album has been mentioned previously as a major component of the diet of Grey Partridges during winter (Potts 1970, Wilson et al 1999, Holland et al 2006, Table 2).…”
