Abstract

Arable plants, such as Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), are the wild species that grow on cultivated land, having evolved alongside traditional low-intensity cropping practices. In Great Britain, approximately 150 species have been classified as arable plants, of which 54 have been recorded as threatened with extinction and at least seven as regionally extinct (i.e. extinct in GB) or extinct in the wild
