Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

Bryophytes of the Rhône alluvial complexes : flora, vegetation and functionality [PDF]

, 2013
Bryophytes are still too rarely used in ecological diagnostic, in particular in alluvial systems. The surveys carried out on a section of the Rhône, going from Jonage to Montélimar, allowed to draw up a first synthesis of the bryoflora ...

Competitive interactions modify the direct effects of climate

Ecography, EarlyView.
As the climate is changing, species respond by changing their distributions and abundances. The effects of climate are not only direct, but also occur via changes in biotic interactions, such as competition. Yet, the role of competition in mediating the effects of climate is still largely unclear.

Conservation status of bryophytes in eastern Australia

, 1994
No bryophyte conservation programs are in place in Australia as the knowledge of bryophytes is poor, especially of their habitat preferences and distribution.

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Invasive tree species affect terricolous bryophytes biomass and biodiversity in nutrient-poor but not nutrient-rich temperate forests

Scientific Reports
Although invasive tree species pose a significant threat to biodiversity, their impact on terricolous bryophytes has been insufficiently recognized. In addition, almost all previous studies focused on differences between invaded and uninvaded stands, not

Analysis of bryophyte species diversity in three northeastern provinces of China and the Korean Peninsula

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The three northeastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula are geographically and climatically diverse, and the geographical regions have continuously formed relatively unique flora.

Uncovering the role of the PPR protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR6 in splicing chloroplast group II introns

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The P‐class pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR (PBF6) forms splicing complexes with other known splicing factors to facilitate chloroplast intron splicing. PBF6 cooperates with other PPR splicing factors to promote the splicing of the same intron through forming respective splicing complexes.
