Garden centres can host surprisingly diverse alien floras, including species not yet recorded in the country. A survey from Hungary shows they can also act as hubs of unintentional introductions and spread, including invasive species.

Why are allopolyploids common in Batrachium, but no diploid hybrids? This puzzle is now solved: a large-scale screening uncovered a natural hybrid between diploid species, providing new insight into the early stages of polyploid evolution.

Pannonian sand grasslands persist, but their specialists fade. Species adapted to grazing and dry, nutrient-poor soils decline, while generalists and nutrient-demanding species increase, driven by succession, eutrophication and abandoned management.

In Slovenian semi-dry grasslands, over half of species are clonal. Clonal traits vary with soil conditions and community type, highlighting the need for fine-scale habitat management to preserve species and functional diversity.

Pulsatilla grandis is vanishing! A 19-year monitoring study in Czechia revealed a 20% population loss and a 25% decline in flowering individuals. Effective habitat management is crucial to reverse this trend and protect other endangered dry grassland species.

Despite declining SO₂ emissions, acidifying air pollution still impacts epiphytic bryophyte communities in central Europe. Ash trees with higher bark pH hosted richer, more sensitive assemblages but were as affected by SO₂ as oaks.
