Doubled density and increased resilience: Consequences of seven consecutive annual dry‐season fires to the unburned Cerrado grass layer

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3436-3455, December 2025.
The Cerrado grass layer benefits from frequent fires and is resilient even to an extreme fire regime, such as seven annual burns. Recurrent mid‐dry‐season fires are not harmful to the grass layer and should be less concerning than prolonged fire‐suppression regimes, which diminish grasses' biomass, cover, diversity and functioning. Maintaining frequent

The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2131-2149, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

Rediscovery of Bouteloua vaneedenii (Gramineae: Chloridoideae): endemic species from the West Indies

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
Bouteloua vaneedenii is an endemic and extremely rare grass of the West Indies. Very few collections are known, and the most recent collection is from 1922. With the aim of finding the species, a team of Mexican and Cuban agrostologists conducted a field

Chromosome‐level genome of Zoysia sinica in the intertidal zone reveals genomic insights into waterlogging stress adaptation

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Zoysia sinica is a perennial grass that thrives in intertidal zones, even under extreme waterlogging stress. In this study, we present a high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly of Z. sinica, with a total size of 312.67 Mb. Through genome annotation, we identified 29,551 protein‐coding genes in the Z. sinica genome and re‐annotated 32,925,

Capturing Vegetation Gradients Along the West African Margin Using Terrestrial Plant Biomarkers in Marine Sediments

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Understanding the transport mechanisms of terrestrial biomarkers to marine sediments is critical for interpreting past environmental and climate changes from these valuable archives. Here, we produce new estimates of two classes of terrestrial plant biomarkers, n‐alkane waxes and pentacyclic triterpene methyl ethers (PTMEs), from a transect of

Eragrostis walteri — a first record of non-Kranz leaf anatomy in the sub-family Chloridoideae (Poaceae) [PDF]

, 1984
Eragrostis walteri Pilg., a grass species from the Namib Desert in South West Africa/Namibia, is shown to have non-Kranz leaf anatomy and, consequently, it is predicted that it utilizes the C3 photosynthetic pathway.

Teff Yield and Nutrient Uptake Partitioning During Prolonged Waterlogging: A Preliminary Greenhouse Study

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT There is a lack of studies examining the effects of prolonged waterlogging on both yield and nutrient uptake partitioning in teff. A greenhouse study was conducted to assess the impact of different durations of waterlogging on teff's growth, yield, nutrient uptake and partitioning among grain, straw, and root components.
