BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Challenges and opportunities on the use of bio fertilizers: examples from Senegal and Kenya [PDF]

, 2014
Not only phosphorus (P) bio available in soil is very low but phosphate fertilizing efficiency is also low. Consequently, annual world P demand increases predicting phosphorus stock end in the coming 125 years.

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1399-1420, May 2026.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Plant Identity Shaped Rhizospheric Microbial Communities More Strongly Than Bacterial Bioaugmentation in Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Manipulating the plant-root microbiota has the potential to reduce plant stress and promote their growth and production in harsh conditions. Community composition and activity of plant-roots microbiota can be either beneficial or deleterious to plant ...

Land‐Use Effects on Melliferous Woody Flora in Sudanian Agroforestry Parkland and Protected Area of West Africa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study assessed how land use types influence the diversity, structure, and temporal dynamics of melliferous woody species and honeybee (Apis mellifera) foraging in a sudanian landscape of southwestern Burkina Faso. Fallow land and protected area supported higher species richness and distinct community composition compared with farmland, while ...

Foliar Spectra and Traits of Bog Plants across Nitrogen Deposition Gradients

Remote Sensing, 2020
Bogs, as nutrient-poor ecosystems, are particularly sensitive to atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. Nitrogen deposition alters bog plant community composition and can limit their ability to sequester carbon (C). Spectroscopy is a promising approach for
