Accidental plant poisonings in France: Lessons from a decade of national toxicovigilance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Accidental plant poisonings reveal how modern societies are losing everyday botanical knowledge once central to food and health safety. By analyzing a decade of French toxicovigilance data, this study shows that most severe cases arise from plant misidentification or misguided self‐medication.

A null model test of Floristic Quality Assessment: Are plant species’ Coefficients of Conservatism valid?

Ecological Indicators, 2015
Abstract Floristic Quality Assessment (FQA) was developed as a tool for quantifying the conservation value of natural areas based on their plant species composition and richness. Floristic Quality Assessment is based on Coefficients of Conservatism (C values) assigned to each plant species in a region or state. Each species i, is assigned a value Ci,

Niche‐tracking as a collecting method: Habitat‐targeted search strategies for taxon‐focused botany

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity science depends on more than collecting plants—it depends on how we search for them. Although GPS and digital maps have transformed fieldwork, they can also encourage repeated visits to the same easy‐to‐access sites, leaving other habitats and populations unknown to science.

Floristic quality assessment signals human disturbance over natural variability in a wetland system

Ecological Indicators, 2013
a b s t r a c t A common concern regarding the popular Floristic Quality Assessment (FQA) method is whether the site floristic quality scores change with natural temporal and site-specific variability. The more ignored question is whether this background variability will confound the index of human disturbance.

WorldCuP: A database of checklists documenting the World's Cultivated Plants and their distributions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Human life would be unrecognizable without the benefits of cultivated plants, including crops, ornamentals, or plants with other uses. Despite their importance in daily life and prevalence across landscapes, we know surprisingly little about global cultivated plant distributions.

An integrated forest‐to‐market approach to promote lesser‐known timber species (LKTS) in a domestic timber market in the Congo Basin

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
In the Congo Basin, domestic timber markets account for ~40% of timber consumption, yet demand is concentrated on a few high‐value species also sought after on international markets, raising concerns about their long‐term availability. We combine market, wood, and forest data to assess the potential of lesser‐known timber species (LKTS) to support a ...

Floristic condition drives differential response to cultural burns in grassy woodlands for ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cultural burns are a critical Indigenous land management practice with diverse cultural and biodiversity benefits, now being reintroduced by Indigenous communities to Australian grassy woodlands after long post‐colonization suppression. How these burns influence soil fungi, critical partners in plant nutrition, remains poorly understood.

Learning from mistakes: Understanding and refining machine learning predictions of extinction risk for single‐country endemics

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As of 2026, fewer than 23% of vascular plants have IUCN Red List assessments, despite accelerating threats to biodiversity. Predictive models of extinction risk complement assessments and help prioritize conservation action but face a trade‐off between data resolution and species coverage.

Using Harvest Data to Assess Factors Influencing Regional Population Declines of Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) 利用捕获数据评估影响麝鼠 (Ondatra zibethicus) 区域种群数量下降的相关因素

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the
