Soil Metabarcoding Helps Identify Recalcitrant Taxa From Chaparral Seed Banks
Soil seed banks preserve plant diversity, but traditional germination methods often miss dormant or hard‐to‐germinate species. Our study tested metabarcoding as an alternative, finding that DNA‐based sequencing was more reliable than RNA and that water treatments influenced sequencing results.

Impact of broom, Cytisus scoparius (Fabaceae), in naturally treeless sub-alpine frost-hollow vegetation communities at the Barrington Tops, south-eastern Australia [PDF]
The exotic shrub Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link (family Fabaceae), known as broom, is having a major impact on native vegetation in naturally treeless sub-alpine frost-hollow areas (c. 32o 01’ 37” S, 151o 26’ 12” E’, 1440 m elevation) at the Barrington Tops,

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

The new species Drimia courtallensis from the Nellai Wildlife Sanctuary of Tamil Nadu, India is described and illustrated. It is similar to Drimia razii,in its necked bulb, hysteranthous nature, lax inflorescence and diurnal flowers on moderately short pedicels but it can be distinguished by its broader linear‐lanceolate leaves (230–420 × 6–15 mm ...
