Common but Least Noticed: Diversity of the Mangrove Fern Acrostichum aureum in Hainan Island, China

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Acrostichum aureum across nine coastal sites in Hainan Island was examined using morphological, cytometric, and genomic approaches. Three priority conservation areas are proposed to preserve extant genetic diversity and maintain habitat connectivity. ABSTRACT Acrostichum aureum across nine coastal sites in Hainan Island was examined using morphological,

Space-Based Genetic Cryoconservation of Endangered Species [PDF]

, 1996
Genetic materials of endangered species must be maintained, for cryoconservation, permanently near liquid nitrogen temperatures below 77 K. Due to the instability of human institutions, permanent safety is best provided at storage sites that maintain ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Controls of Vegetation Net Primary Production at Greater Bay Area Outer Ecological Barrier

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
The spatiotemporal dynamics of NPP were evaluated for the ecological barrier of GBA, utilizing vegetation remote sensing, land use, and meteorological data. Results revealed that the vegetation NPP in the ecological barrier was 2.29 times that of the core area of GBA, highlighting its critical ecological function.
