Does cereal crop agriculture in dry swamps damage aquatic plant communities

摘要: Abstract The response of swamp vegetation to cropping was measured by analysis the seed bank present (as a measure resilience) and survey extant integrity). Samples were exposed germination stimulus, plants that germinated established identified, density emergent assessed. Surveys after flooding in cropped uncropped swamps indicated plant communities establishing different treatments different. Cropping results reduced diversity plants, although retain some resilience such disturbances. also affects from these wetlands. degree which is threatening process their dependent fauna will depend on whether vulnerable elements can return swamps, turn depends management, connectivity landscape level processes. As climate changes wetlands become more temporary less reliable, recognition conservation processes maintain biodiversity important.
