We are no longer updating the Research Digest. All content remains.
The Permaculture Research Digest has summaries of newly published permaculture-related research. All items are hyper-linked to the original publication.
The 'January 2013' archive contains 60 items published in 2012.
Items marked with a # have restricted public access, although abstracts are freely available.
Climate change has induced transformations in the
weed flora of arable ecosystems in Europe. The authors
review the mechanisms of responses of arable weeds to climate change. Climate change effects are
categorized into three distinct types of shifts: (1) range shifts at the landscape scale, (2) niche shifts at the
community scale, and (3) trait shifts of individual species at the
population scale. The main conclusions are changes in the species
composition and new species introductions are favored, with
major ecological and agronomical implications. Current research mainly
considers processes at the landscape scale, but processes at the population
and community scales have prevalent importance to devise sustainable
management strategies.
