Soil properties and road proximity likely influence plant and bacterial traits and diversity more than habitat size in small urban greenspaces

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global decline in biodiversity can be partly ameliorated by sympathetic design of green spaces within urban environments. This includes roundabouts on road systems. This study utilised a combination of approaches to assess levels of plant and bacterial diversity in roundabouts of varying size, soil characteristics and habitat complexity.

Rhizosphere microbial detoxification and phosphorus solubilization drive ecological remediation of Pb–Zn contaminated soils

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Heavy metal contamination of soils poses a serious threat to ecosystem health and food security worldwide. This study investigated how native plants, such as Artemisia annua and Buddleja davidii, interact with soil microbes in Pb–Zn waste slag areas. We found that these plants stimulate microbes, which improve phosphorus availability and reduce metal ...

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Carya nux‐taurinensis comb. nov., a fossil‐species incorporating Carya globosa (Juglandaceae)

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The type material of the almost forgotten fossil‐species Juglans nux‐taurinensis is newly analysed, a lectotype is designated, and new conspecific material detected at the Italian type locality La Morra is described. We show that Juglans nux‐taurinensis must be reassigned to Carya because the locule cast of the nutshell shows two inner ...

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

A comparison between Carex arenaria L. and Carex ligerica GAY - sedges from the Arenariae group based on leaf characteristics

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The purpose of the study was to compare two taxonomically close species of sedges - Carex arenaria and Carex ligerica. The analysis was based on 6 characters of leaves. The populations studied were grown for the period of at least one year under the same

To converge or diverge? Phenological shifts driven by plant genome size and functional traits under nitrogen deposition and mowing

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Linkages between genome size (GS) and phenology underscore the diversification of functional traits, which are indicative of life‐history and resource acquisition strategies.
