The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Harmonising digitised herbarium data to enhance biodiversity knowledge: Major steps towards an updated checklist for the flora of Greenland

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Herbaria worldwide hold centuries of plant data that are key to understanding and protecting biodiversity; however, even with increased digital access, differences in plant naming systems make it difficult to compare records. We developed a semi‐automated workflow that standardises species names and organises herbaria records from multiple institutions

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.

Community changes in a restored tussock sedge wetland over 15 years: Expansion and competition

Global Ecology and Conservation
Vegetation restoration is one of the most effective means to reestablish wetlands. However, little is known about how plant communities expand and compete after wetland restoration because of the dearth of data from long-term monitoring.

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 ...
