Portulaca eggliana (Portulacaceae), a new species from the Brazilian Amazonian savannas

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Portulacaceae from the Amazonian savannas of northern Brazil is herein described and illustrated. Portulaca eggliana is morphologically related to P. umbraticola, but differs in the number of involucral leaves, sepal morphology, bracteole shape, and seed surface.

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...

A Decade of Post‐Fire Succession Amplifies the Effect of Wildfire on the Surface Radiation Balance and Permafrost Thaw in Subarctic Peatlands

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing wildfire activity is driving permafrost thaw in subarctic peatlands across the southern Northwest Territories, but the key mechanisms and progression of thaw following fire remain poorly understood. In response, 10 years (2015–2024) of near‐continuous surface (four‐component radiation, wind, and snow) and subsurface measurements ...

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

When tiny convective spread affects a midlatitude jet: Spread sequence

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We investigate spread evolution by mesoscale convection from tiny initial condition uncertainty during a real event. There is significant variation among the systems in their propensity to interact with the jet stream, whereby variability in one system (due to convective and long‐wave radiative heating tendencies) tightly relates to Rossby‐like ...

Land data assimilation of satellite‐based surface soil moisture: Impact on atmospheric simulations over the contiguous United States

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Soil Moisture Active Passive soil moisture retrievals are assimilated into a land surface model and the resulting land reanalysis product is used to initialise the land component of coupled land‐atmosphere experiments. We show that the local impact of land data assimilation on the atmosphere is influenced by two factors: the magnitude by which it ...
