. Pteridium species around the world are aggressive, very productive, functionally closer to shrubs than ferns. Their rhizomes, buried deep and rich in starch, allow them to survive repeated fires and their efficient uptake of nutrients allow them to exploit a wide range of soils (McGlone et al., 2005). Mechanical methods. Tillage and cultivation. On lands that are not too steep or rocky, a good reduction in fern coverage can be achieved by plowing from late June to early August. The goal is to plow deep in order to expose the rhizomes, leaving them undisturbed throughout the winter and followed by the spring sowing

Faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, countries around the globe responded with a wide range of special measures. Whereas some of them resorted to their constitutional emergency rules, others opted to act through legislation. The author argues that the effects of the legislative approach to the epidemic in Croatia actually resemble the state of an emergency in the proper sense of the word, although the authorities try to present the whole case as a situation of "legal normalcy". More precisely, the author claims that in practice the adopted model produces concentration of power in the executive branch far beyond what one could expect in ordinary times. To prove that, the author analyses the Croatian legal anti-epidemic framework through several elements (declaration of emergency, law-making powers, overview of executive emergency actions, parliamentary sittings). Finally, the author argues that the constitutional state of natural disaster in Croatia should have been proclaimed.

Perubahan-perubahan Konstiusi yang ada di Indonesia Pasca-Reformasi menjadi hal yang sangat menarik untuk dibahas mulai dari perubahan Amandemen secara formal dan perubahan nonformal  yang perubahannya tanpa mengubah naskah konstitusi yang bersangkutan. Amandemen secara formal (formal amendment) hanyalah salah satu cara mengubah konstiusi. Perubahan dapat pula terjadi secara nonformal (informal change, informal amendment), yaitu perubahan konstitusi tanpa mengubah naskah konstitusi yang bersangkutan atau perubahan “di luar naskah konstitusi” (buiten de grodwet). Norma-norma konstitusi dapat berubah ketika diatur lebih lanjut dalam undang-undang oleh legislatif, atau ditafsirkan oleh hakim untuk menentukan hukum bagi suatu perkara yang diadilinya. FF menyumbang hasil penelitian dalam bukunya “Pertumbuhan dan Model Konstitusi”, untuk mendeskripsikan terjadinya perubahan nonformal konstitusi dalam ranah normatif juga dalam perspektif empirik, sehingga mendapatkan manfaat yang lebih luas. Ketidak sinkronan dalam sistem atau rezim hukum konstitusi tentu berdampak pada sistem ketatanegaraan berdasarkan UUD NRI 1945, khususnya terhadap bidang-bidang yang termuat dalam konstitusi yang mengalami perubahan nonformal. Dari bedah hasil penelitian FF, teridentifikasi akan bermanfaat sebagai bahan legislative review oleh pembentuk legislasi, judicial review oleh MK,  perubahan perilaku elite politik dan masyarakat hingga bagi politik perubahan konstitusi.
