Abstract

The main goal of our research was the comparative research of the biomass production of some widespread archeophyte (Chenopodium album, Artemisia vulgaris) and neophyte weed species (Amaranthus retroflexus, Ambrisia artemiifolia, Sorghum halepense). In case of white goosefoot (C3 photosyntetic type) and redroot pigweed (C4) manipulative experiments were also carried out. Using irrigation and partial precipitation exclusion we measured effects of different water regimes. Surprisingly, the decreased amount of available water caused greater depression in biomass of the C4 species Amaranthus than in the C3Chenopodium stands. The effect of additional moisture was stronger as well at the redroot pigweed stands. Independent of their photosynthetic type and functional group all the investigated weed taxa reached such high biomass production that was many times bigger than in that of native grasslands.
