Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Weed cover on agricultural land is influenced by a number of factors, such as the climate, farming practices, tillage, and crop rotation. Changes in these environmental elements have a direct impact on vegetation, including weed development. On the other hand, the tools used for weed control are constantly evolving, following traditional and modern technological conditions, and their influence on weed vegetation varies. The main aim of this Special Issue is to present work on the assessment of weed vegetation change and the analysis of the factors influencing it. Our aim is to highlight papers where different environmental and management effects are analyzed in detail, and where the authors look for links between these factors and weed vegetation change. This Special Issue may include both general overview papers, if they present a novel approach, and original research papers based on the analysis of a specific environmental or management factor or describing the specificities of particular geographical regions or farming/tillage systems. Research work in which the interaction of weed species or functional groups and/or that describes variables in deeper analyses of the background database is particularly welcome.
