Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.This study predicted the current and future distributions of four native Ziziphus species in the Jinsha River Basin, and also investigated their seed dormancy and germination characteristics. Based on a comprehensive assessment, Z. montana is the most suitable species for ecological restoration in the Jinsha River Basin, exhibiting high and stable ...

Can Airborne eDNA Be Used to Assess the Impacts of Invasive Species on Biodiversity?
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.We sequenced airborne eDNA to target plant and arthropod communities in woodlands with an invasive forest pest present and woodlands with no known infestations. We did not find differences in plant communities; however, we found site differences in the arthropod communities between the infested and non‐infested sites.

The assembly of floral fungal communities in multihabitat landscapes
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.The extent to which deterministic versus stochastic processes assemble floral fungal communities remains an ongoing ecological question. Three classic hypotheses from ecological theory that may contribute to floral fungal community assembly are: (H1) species sorting and environmental filtering when fungal community composition differs by plant species,

Harnessing the nutritional potential of Cape wild edible plants: Insights, gaps and priorities
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2089-2101, November 2026.Wild edible plants hold significant potential to strengthen food systems by enhancing nutrition, dietary diversity, climate resilience, sustainability and deeper connection of people to their food. In this study, we conducted a systematic literature review to identify knowledge gaps and assess the nutritional contributions of selected wild edible ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2205-2216, November 2026.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 ...

Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2293-2305, November 2026.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 ...

The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 2013 Coefficients of Conservatism and the Floristic Quality Index can be used to assess potential damage to plants and plant communities as a result of anthropogenic disturbances. This has benefit because it may be more powerful than an opinion and more easily understood and trusted by non-botanists and land use decision-makers.
