Mapping Lupinus polyphyllus density and distribution along road verges using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Road verges function as refuges for semi‐natural species, but they can also facilitate the spread of non‐native plants such as Lupinus polyphyllus. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing is a promising tool for mapping these species; however, its application in roadside contexts remains limited.

On the Productive Value of Biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes
The paper investigates the value of biodiversity as it relates to the productive value of services provided by an ecosystem. It analyzes how the value of an ecosystem can be "greater than the sum of its parts." First, it proposes a general measure of the

Herbarium‐based measurements are reliable predictors of fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens are increasingly used to extract morphological traits for ecological and evolutionary studies, yet the effects of tissue desiccation on trait measurements remain poorly understood. Here, we tested two hypotheses: (H1) whether higher tissue water content leads to greater measurement changes after herborization and ...

Mining buried plant trait data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF): Comparison and integration with multiple plant trait databases

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Despite the availability of several plant trait databases, significant traits remain undocumented for a substantial number of species. To address this issue, the current study explored digital text from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as an innovative source of plant trait information and evaluated its capacity to ...

Petal to the metal: The slow road to automating large‐scale phenology labeling for herbarium specimens

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens represent critical historical records of plant phenology, yet automating annotation of reproductive structures remains challenging given the diversity of floral morphologies, specimen age and quality, and image quality.
