Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 401-410, March 2026.Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Community‐based long‐term management to address reinvasion of restored grassland vernal wetlands
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Exotic annual grasses can dominate ecosystems by producing a thick layer of dead plant litter, hereafter “thatch,” which promotes the regeneration of exotic grasses and inhibits native plants. Vernal pool wetlands within a grassland matrix are threatened by these exotic annual grasses, meriting the need for long‐term management.

Simplification of woody plant trait networks among communities along a climatic aridity gradient
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 4, Page 896-912, April 2025.Hypothesized associations of plant trait network parameters with climatic aridity and ecosystem structure and with trait coefficients of variation across six plant communities of the California Floristic Province. (a) Across this gradient, the climatic aridity increased from the mixed conifer‐broadleaf forest site to the desert site.
