Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Multitrophic Biodiversity, Co‐Occurrence Network and Assembly Mechanisms Under Typical Vegetation Restoration Patterns in Karst Region

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies often overlooked the dynamic effects of karst vegetation restoration on soil multi‐trophic biodiversity and the underlying community‐assembly mechanisms. To fill this gap, we performed a seasonal comparative analysis of soil biodiversity, co‐occurrence network architecture, and assembly processes across three representative ...

Spatial Patterns, Driving Forces, and Potential Grain Losses of Non‐Grain Production of Farmland in Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The expansion of farmland non‐grain production (NGP) poses a potential threat to food security and agricultural land protection, particularly in mountainous urban agglomerations. However, the utilization patterns, driving mechanisms, and associated production‐loss effects of farmland NGP in this specific regional context remain insufficiently ...

Begonia quadricornualata sp. nov. (Begoniaceae) from India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Begonia L. (Begoniaceae) belonging to sect. Platycentrum is described from the Papum Pare District of Arunachal Pradesh, India. This new species is distinguished by its dense, long, red to brown hispid hairs on the adaxial leaf surface of female plants, caducous stipules and bracts, and solitary‐flowered female inflorescence ...

Macro‐ and micromorphological insights into Iranian Onobrychis subgenus Onobrychis Miller (Fabaceae): exploring fruit traits for taxonomic clarity

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
This study provides a comprehensive examination of fruit morphology and micromorphology characteristics of 28 populations of Onobrychis subgenus Onobrychis taxa from Iran, using both light and scanning electron microscopy. For each trait, 25 replicates were analyzed, encompassing a wide range of qualitative and quantitative traits.

Global divergence in plant and mycorrhizal fungal diversity hotspots

Nature Communications
Environmental protection strategies often rely on aboveground biodiversity indicators for prioritising conservation efforts. However, substantial biodiversity exists belowground, and it remains unclear whether aboveground diversity hotspots are ...

Taxonomy of a novel and a new geographical record of Nigropunctata species (Pallidoperidiaceae) on Bambusa vulgaris from northern Thailand

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Nigropunctata is an understudied genus of bambusicolous fungi, and its diversity in Thailand remains poorly known. This study aimed to investigate species of Nigropunctata associated with bamboo in Thailand using morphological observations along with multi‐locus phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit (LSU), RNA ...
