Towards the sustainability of African sandalwood: Understanding the distribution and environmental requirements

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
African sandalwood (Osyris lanceolata) leaves, roots, barks, fruits, and woods are used for multiple purposes throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe. The species is threatened in several eastern African countries. To improve the species' management and conservation, a habitat suitability study was undertaken in its at‐risk region in eastern Africa and ...

Ecological thresholds and transformations due to climate change: The role of abiotic stress

open access: yesEcosphere
An ecological threshold is the point at which a comparatively small environmental change triggers an abrupt and disproportionately large ecological response.

Plant species diversity and abundance of functional groups influence net nitrogen mineralization along productivity gradients in montane Calluna‐dominated heathlands

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Heathlands are globally important ecosystems that provide key functions and services but are increasingly threatened by land use changes. We investigated how plant diversity and productivity influence nitrogen cycling under different management regimes.

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 ...

Integrating target capture with whole genome sequencing of recent and natural history collections to explain the phylogeography of wild‐growing and cultivated cannabis

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cannabis has been used by humans for millennia, resulting in diverse landraces and uses. Its complex legal status and economic importance make sampling wild‐growing populations difficult, limiting past studies to modern cultivars with low genetic diversity. Our research provides crucial insights into the genetic diversity of wild‐growing and cultivated
