Pollination decays in biodiversity hotspots [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 As pollinators decline globally, competition for their services is expected to intensify, and this antagonism may be most severe where the number of plant species is the greatest. Using meta-analysis and comparative phylogenetic analysis, we provide a global-scale test of whether reproduction becomes more limited by pollen receipt (pollen limitation ...

The erosion of biodiversity and biomass in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Abstract Tropical forests are being deforested worldwide, and the remaining fragments are suffering from biomass and biodiversity erosion. Quantifying this erosion is challenging because ground data on tropical biodiversity and biomass are often sparse.

High Tree Species Diversity Promotes Thermal Enhancement Response of Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Predicting soil carbon dynamics under warming is constrained by limited understanding of microbial thermal adaptation, particularly whether microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) can adapt to warming and how plant diversity modulates this response. Using soils from a natural tree species diversity gradient in a subtropical forest, we combined a

Multiple forms of hotspots of tetrapod biodiversity and the challenges of open-access data scarcity
Scientific Reports, 2020 The uneven spatial distribution of biodiversity is a defining feature of nature. In fact, the implementation of conservation actions both locally and globally has progressively been guided by the identification of biodiversity ‘hotspots’ (areas with ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Sustainable Manufacturing Platforms for Closed‐Cycle Bioeconomy Applications
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The transition to a circular bioeconomy requires innovative production platforms that prioritize sustainability, resource efficiency, and waste minimization. Organic waste from agriculture, aquaculture, and food production represents an underutilized feedstock for biomanufacturing, contributing to a circular economy.
