Soil seed bank resilience in passively restored endangered Sand Fynbos following a century of pine plantations

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ecosystems are rapidly being transformed, pushing us towards irreversible losses and even extinctions. The Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework aims to curb biodiversity decline. An intriguing solution lies in seed banks—where plants store seeds in the soil. Restoration efforts can revive lost ecosystems by leveraging these seed banks. In the

Prescribed burning effectively maintains threatened species in semi‐natural grasslands on lava flows

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Prescribed burning shows promise for managing certain grassland types, but relying solely on it often reduces plant diversity, including threatened species. In Japanese dry grasslands established on volcanic ejecta, we explored conditions under which burning maintains high diversity.

Arbuscular mycorrhiza in the urban jungle: Glomeromycotina communities of the dominant city tree across Amsterdam

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Trees in cities provide a great number of benefits to people and nature, but they are challenged by harsh conditions. Trees rely on helpful fungi in their roots to get essential nutrients from the soil, but we do not know which of these fungi are resistant to city landscapes.

Planting and replanting: Continuity and change over four decades of forest restoration in Himachal Pradesh, India

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
India has a long history of planting trees to restore ecosystem services providing an opportunity to evaluate long‐term ecosystem restoration processes. We show that these programs have shifted over time in response to public demands as well as through changes in the government's vision for forests.
