Perspectives and behaviors surrounding planting practices in North America inform genetic conservation realities for American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
American ginseng is a shade‐obligate, North American medicinal plant that is widely traded and used internationally. To meet global demand, ginseng is cultivated in forest farms in the Appalachian region of the USA and field‐based artificial shade farms in two regions: Ontario, Canada and Wisconsin, USA. We conducted social research leveraging in‐depth

A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

The most threatened plants receive the least scientific attention

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plants sustain all life, providing the energetic and structural basis of ecosystems, but they face a growing risk of extinction. Reversing this decline requires an understanding of how scientific knowledge is distributed among species, and identification of the biases and gaps that hinder effective responses to the threats they face. However, we reveal

Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

Leaf heat tolerance in a native Californian shrub responds in expected and unexpected ways to differences in range, season, and sunlight exposure

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth's ecosystems are experiencing wide‐ranging impacts from global climate change, including increased average and extreme temperatures. These temperature shifts can drastically affect plant physiology, threatening the future of even common plant species. Here, we focus on photosynthetic function in a native Southern California shrub species.
