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.

Urtica kioviensis is a rare species of river basins. Hybridization with the widespread U. dioica was confirmed at six sites in central Europe. It affects genetic integrity of U. kioviensis and can pose a risk to small populations of this species. https://t.co/BBAKa8SL39 pic.twitter.com/2ifu5lTNBU
