“…The Lake Chiusi and Montepulciano represent the two major wetlands of the Chiana Valley. Together with a series of human-made minor wetlands, such as ponds and canals, they are dispersed in a landscape-matrix with strong agricultural vocation [76,77]. The study site is included in a Natural Protected Area of Local Interest (ANPIL); according to the European 92/43/EEC 'Habitats' Directive, it was designed as Site of Community Importance (SCI).…”

Phragmites australis (Cav.) Steud. is one of the most dominant and common species in wetland ecosystems from temperate regions worldwide [1][2][3]. It is tolerant to a broad ecological range, colonizing different habitat types, such as riverbanks, ditches, littoral zones of lakes, fens, bogs and salt-marshes. This sub-cosmopolite species can grow in oligotrophic to eutrophic conditions, but it seems to be favoured in nutrient-rich sites [4]. The common reed can also withstand different pollutants, including heavy metals. For this reason, it is often used for the treatment of industrial or agricultural wastewaters [5-9], for phytoremediation [10-12] and even for the removal of harmful microorganisms due to its allelopathic effect [13].In some areas of the world this grass is regarded as an aggressive invasive species [14][15][16][17]. The phenomenon is prominent in the USA where the Eurasian subspecies P. australis subsp. australis outcompetes the native, recently described, P. australis subsp. americanus Saltonstall, P.M. Peterson & Soreng, displacing the authoctonous populations [18]. For this reason, in N-America and Canada P. australis subsp. australis was included among the highest priority invasive species [19][20][21][22][23][24]. On the other side, reed beds represent valuable ecosystems for biodiversity conservation, although they are both usually

Modern man is an urban dweller. While early cities were small and produced little longstanding impact on their immediate environments, modern cities are vast and in some cases create over a hundred kilometers of uninterrupted urban areas. Cities are dependent on surrounding lands for food and other resources. As urban areas have grown, the populations of the countryside are diminishing at rapid rates.

The biology of the weed goat’s-rue, Galega officinalis (Fabaceae), is reviewed. Introduced to Canada in the late 19th Century as an ornamental, it has become established at scattered localities and is spreading locally in southern Ontario. The plant is considered a noxious weed and is legally regulated in many jurisdictions due to the production of toxic alkaloids and its invasive characteristics. Primarily a weed of pastures, grasslands and perennial crops, it also displaces native vegetation in areas where it becomes established. Originally endemic in the Black Sea region, it was spread by humans through Europe and eastward to Pakistan as a herbal medicine. More recently it has been introduced widely as a forage and ornamental plant. As a folk remedy it has been used primarily to treat diabetes in humans and to enhance milk production in both humans and livestock. The plant has also used as a forage by limiting consumption to early growth stages and the quantity ingested. Effective control has been achieved with 2,4-D, dicamba, tryclopyr, metsulfuron methyl and other herbicides. Goat’s-rue forms a highly specific nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with the soil bacterium Neorhizobium galegae symbiovar officinalis. Successful establishment of Goat’s rue in new regions depends on the co-introduction of plant and bacterium. The lack of long-distance dispersal adaptations, soil pH requirements and symbiont dependency, reduces the ability of G. officinalis to spread into novel areas without anthropogenic activities. These constraints to establishment may facilitate management and eradication strategies.
