The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Assessing the impact of climate change on the distribution of endemic subalpine and alpine plants of New Guinea

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2018
Plant species of alpine and subalpine ecosystems in tropical mountains are prone to habitat loss due to future climate change. In the present study, the impact of climate change on the distribution of five endemic plant species of subalpine and alpine ...

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Accounting for functional diversity in biodiversity protection measures

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Globally, countries are becoming increasingly committed to conserving biodiversity. Traditional methods of measuring biodiversity are simple and might miss out on capturing some of the more important functional features that comprise ecosystems. We compare a real‐world conservation program with background vegetation data to explore whether these ...
