<i>Euonymus chengduanus</i> (Celastraceae), a New Species Unexpectedly Discovered in an Urban Forest Park in the Megacity of Chengdu, West China. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study discovered a new plant species within the urban area and named it Chengdu for the first time. This discovery implies that even in intensively anthropogenic‐impacted areas adjacent to large cities, undocumented plant diversity may still exist.

Impact of typical land use type on the stability and content of carbon and nitrogen of soil aggregates in western Hubei

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Abstract In order to investigate the characteristics of soil structural stability and the factors influencing it under typical land use types in the karst region of western Hubei, soil samples were collected from five land use types (natural mixed forest [NF], cypress forest [CF], stone dike terrace [ST], stone dike forest [SF], and abandoned land [AL])

Pest categorisation of Pestalotiopsis microspora

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Following an EFSA commodity risk assessment of bonsai plants (Pinus parviflora grafted on Pinus thunbergii) imported from China, the EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pestalotiopsis microspora, a clearly defined plant pathogenic fungus of the family Pestalotiopsidaceae.

Woody plant functional traits and phylogenetic signals correlate with urbanization in remnant forest patches

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
The study found significant phylogenetic signals in many plant functional traits, especially for urban groups. Moreover, the phylogenies significantly affected our ability to detect dominant functional traits for different groups of woody plant species. However, most previous studies only focused on taxonomic and functional filtering while ignoring the

A new neolignan and a new biphenylpropanoid from the leaves of Cupressus funebris Endl.

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Botany, 2021
Abstract A new neolignan, (-)-(7S, 8R)-3‑methoxy-4', 7-epoxy-8, 5'-neolignane-5, 9, 3', 9′-tetraol (1) and a new biphenylpropanoid, 1, 2-epoxy-1-(3', 4'-dihydroxyphenyl-)-3-(2'', 3'', 5''-trihydroxyphenyl-) propane (2), together with eight known compounds (3-10), were isolated from the 95% EtOH extract of the leaves of Cupressus funebris Endl.

Commodity risk assessment of bonsai plants from China consisting of Pinus parviflora grafted on Pinus thunbergii

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver a scientific opinion on the risk posed by bonsai plants from China consisting of Pinus parviflora grafted on Pinus thunbergii taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by China.

Loss of the IR region in conifer plastomes: Changes in the selection pressure and substitution rate of protein‐coding genes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
There are significant differences in the selection pressure of 12 genes and the evolution rate of 9 genes between conifer and non‐conifer. This difference seems to be not related to the loss of typical IR regions but related to habitat. And the newly obtained short IR region plays a role in stabilizing the genome.

Soil resource availability is much more important than soil resource heterogeneity in determining the species diversity and abundance of karst plant communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 16680-16692, December 2021., 2021
Both limited resource availability and significant resource heterogeneity are key features of karst landscapes. Our study first considered simultaneously resource availability and heterogeneity in karst regions and then quantified and compared the effects of resource availability and heterogeneity on community abundance and species diversity from the ...

Phylogenetic significance of the characteristics of simple sequence repeats at the genus level based on the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Cyatheaceae

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 20, Page 14327-14340, October 2021., 2021
Whether chloroplast genome SSRs can be used to classify Cyatheaceae species has not yet been studied. Therefore, the chloroplast genomes of eight Cyatheaceae species were sequenced by our team, and their SSR characteristics were compared and statistically analyzed.

Towards Forest Conservation Planning: How Temperature Fluctuations Determine the Potential Distribution and Extinction Risk of Cupressus funebris Conifer Trees in China

open access: yes, 2023
This study focused on assessing the impact of climate change on Cupressus funebris, one of the important endemic conifer species in China. The impact of fluctuations in temperature on the potential distribution and extinction risk of the C.
