In the UK, Japanese knotweed is a single female clone. However, it is able to readily hybridise with related species. [38] In the UK, Japanese knotweed is established in the wild in many parts of the country and creates problems due to the impact on biodiversity, flooding management and damage to property.
The flowers are small, produced on short, dense panicles up to 10 cm (4 in) long in late summer or early autumn; it is gynodioecious, with male and female (male sterile) flowers on separate plants. The species is closely related to the Japanese knotweed, Reynoutria japonica , and can be distinguished from it by its larger size, and in its ...
In some areas, Bohemian knotweed is classified as an invasive species and a noxious weed. It is illegal to transport and sell in multiple US states, including Minnesota, [1] Washington, [5] and Wisconsin. [6] Mechanical control and hand pulling are ineffective. Repeat herbicide application through spraying leaves and injecting stems is the best ...

Species of fish living in cold or cool water can see a reduction in population of up to 50% in the majority of U.S. freshwater streams, according to most climate change models. [103] The increase in metabolic demands due to higher water temperatures, in combination with decreasing amounts of food will be the main contributors to their decline ...
Similarly, the daily maximum temperature in Japan will increase by 3.1 °C in B1 and 4.4 °C in A1B. The precipitation in summer in Japan will increase steadily due to global warming (annual average precipitation will increase by 17% in Scenario B1 and by 19% in Scenario A1B during the period 2071–2100 compared to that of 1971–2000).

Lowland forest have gotten smaller during the last glacial period and those small areas became island which are made up of drought resisting plants. In those small refugee areas there are also a lot of shade dependent plants. [23] As an example, the dynamics of the calcareous grassland were significantly impacted due to the climate factors. [26]
