Resumen: Field boundary (FB) establishment and conservation have been promoted to enhance biodiversity in agroecosystems. However, weeds can colonize these areas during the revegetation process, which might be a problem for adjacent fields. Data is necessary to facilitate acceptance of these structures by farmers.
This work takes advantage of a unique opportunity to describe the plants establishing in a set of new FBs. The main aims were to describe species composition in a six-year period and to detect if FBs can be a weed source for surrounding agricultural land.
