Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.

Representativeness of the Natura 2000 network for preserving plant biodiversity in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the European Vegetation Archive from over 1.2 million vegetation plots and obtained over 14.2 million plant ...

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Forest community species diversity and influence of human disturbance in Mountainous Area of the West Lake in Hangzhou, East China(西湖风景名胜区森林群落物种多样性及人为干扰的影响)

Zhejiang Daxue xuebao. Lixue ban, 2008
采用样带法和样方法，对杭州西湖风景名胜区各类森林群落的物种多样性及其受人为干扰的影响进行了研究，分析了多样性差异的原因和干扰的后果.结果显示：(1)在研究区域内，落叶阔叶林、常绿落叶阔叶混交林和竹阔叶混交林的物种多样性较高；针叶林、针阔叶混交林和常绿阔叶林的物种多样性水平一般；人工抚育的竹林多样性最低.(2)从垂直结构上看，除落叶阔叶林外，物种丰富度指数和多样性指数大小的顺序为：灌木层>乔木层>草本层，符合亚热带森林群落的特点.(3)从不同干扰方式影响后果的角度看 ...

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

克拉玛依农业开发区水土性状与荒漠植物多样性的关系

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2004
通过分析克拉玛依农业开发区水土性状、荒漠植被演替规律和群落多样性,了解到区内植物的生长更新主要靠大气降水来维系,而土壤理化指标中的有机质、全N和全K含量增加是植物群落发展多样性的胁迫因素。与之相反,一定限度下的较高pH和粒度值,则可促进植物多样性水平的提高。分析结果还表明,土壤的全盐、全P和水分是影响植物多样性的潜在因素。

海南热带雨林国家公园海南长臂猿食源植物组成

野生动物学报, 2021
2019年4—10月，利用访问调查法和样方调查法对海南长臂猿（Nomascus hainanus）食源植物展开调查，确定了海南长臂猿食源植物组成及其季节性变化。研究表明，海南长臂猿采食的食源植物有166种，隶属于52科99属。在雨季（5—10月），海南长臂猿食源植物有47科88属148种。在旱季（11月至翌年4月），海南长臂猿食源植物有39科61属90种。在雨季，海南长臂猿可采食成熟果实的植物种类较多，相对更容易获得食物。而在旱季能够取食果实的植物种类减少，结果量较低、且分布不集中 ...
