The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 654-668, March 2026.Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

Accounting for functional diversity in biodiversity protection measures
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 669-679, March 2026.Globally, countries are becoming increasingly committed to conserving biodiversity. Traditional methods of measuring biodiversity are simple and might miss out on capturing some of the more important functional features that comprise ecosystems. We compare a real‐world conservation program with background vegetation data to explore whether these ...

Linking to images and AI‐based identification tools—The only way for Flora projects to survive
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 452-460, March 2026.Floras are comprehensive and authoritative catalogues of plants growing in an area of interest. They help people find and name plants, which is achieved by a combination of images, drawings, and text, rarely also maps. Like other catalogues (lexica, dictionaries, telephone books), Floras will not survive unless they move online and become portable ...

The making of novel ecosystems: A process‐based framework for measurement, analysis and application
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 683-704, March 2026.Abstract Ecological novelty is emerging rapidly due to global change drivers such as climate shifts, species introductions, defaunation, and land‐use transformation. These changes challenge how we assess, understand and manage ecosystems in the Anthropocene.
