Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

Relative impact of native and non‐native plants on endangered species in a major European City
This first city‐wide assessment of threats to multiple populations of endangered plant species provides a foundation for targeted threat management in urban contexts. Maintaining habitat quality and optimizing land use will be most effective in protecting endangered species from competitive pressures.

We hypothesized that litter decomposition (H1) and litter quality (H2) increase with increasing soil humidity, therefore litter from the wetter sites to have the highest litter quality and decompose fastest in each site, and fastest on the wet end of the gradient (H3).

Rare and Vulnerable: Mires of the Western Alps Are Changing Rapidly Under Climate Pressures
Resurveys of Sphagnum‐dominated mires in the Western Alps revealed marked vegetation changes over 12‐ and 25‐year periods. Observed patterns include increased species richness, woody plant encroachment, and declines in mire specialists, indicative of the progressive drying.

Topography and Canopy Structure Interactively Shape Understory Functional Diversity
In this transect‐based study on broadleaved forests in the Apennines (Italy), we studied how elevation and aspect filter the understory through single‐ and multi‐trait functional diversity. We found that overall functional diversity decreased along south‐facing slopes but showed no trend on north‐facing slopes.
