The present-day diversity of European flora in temperate mountain ranges was mainly formed by the negative effects of Pleistocene glaciation, which caused extinctions, restricted survival in situ , and subsequent re-colonization. Only rarely can we find species that have retained the molecular information of in situ survival. One such example is th...

... further seedling development, the pericarp was first ruptured by the radicle, and at a radicle length of 0.9 cm, the hypocotyl protruded from the pericarp (Fig. 3). At that time, the hypocotyl was bent like a hairpin (loop sensu Kondo et al. 2006). Cotyledons separated from the rest of the pericarp when the total seedling length measured between 1.6 and 2.5 cm. The first leaf developed when the seedlings reached 4.5 ...

Climate change will decrease precipitation and increase rainfall variability in eastern Mediterranean regions, with responses of plant communities largely uncertain. Here, we tested short‐term responses of dryland plant communities to contrasting rainfall regimes using reciprocal transplants of soil and seed banks. We exposed three annual plant com...
Soil solarization is a well-established method to disinfect soil for efficient weed control. However, the feasibility of applying this method in the restoration of invaded natural habitats is unclear. This is because soil moisture is necessary for the success of solarization, but pre-irrigation in natural ecosystems is often not applicable, or dema...

Hemp seed is a nutritionally valuable product that is increasingly used in the food and dietary supplement industries, among others. It is obtained from industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), a multipurpose plant that is being cultivated again in Croatia after several decades thanks to the adaptation of the legal framework. The aim of this work was to investigate the possibilities of organic cultivation of industrial hemp in Continental Croatia using the example of the municipality of Križ. When comparing the agro-ecological conditions in the municipality and the requirements of industrial hemp in terms of soil, climate and water, it was found that there are no obstacles to cultivation in this respect. The existing farms are mainly engaged in field crop production, i.e. they have the basic equipment for soil cultivation and plant care. The results of the survey (N=145) show that most people have heard of hemp seed products (65 %), mostly of oil. In addition, respondents from the Križ municipality area indicated in 54 % of cases that they are interested in the idea of ecological production of industrial hemp for seeds. Results of the financial analysis indicates that growing of hemp for seed is highly acceptable (Revenues-Over-Costs=1.9). In order to introduce industrial hemp into the sowing pattern and expand this production, it is necessary to work on the promotion of this crop among farmers and on the potential market. Interested producers should be assisted in organizing, acquiring the necessary equipment and inputs, and adopting modern production techniques for organic cultivation of industrial hemp. Organizational and advisory support may be more important than financial support. One of the solutions is networking with existing organizations, institutions and companies dealing with industrial hemp in Croatia and on European Union.
