Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

PLANTS, 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.

Connecting tradition and technology: The digitization of the ethnobotanical collection at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The digitization of RBetno (JBRJ) represents a step forward for biodiversity conservation in Brazil. Aligned with the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (Target 2, 2020–2030), this project documents the use of plants, including traditional knowledge and vernacular names, with a focus on the Atlantic Forest and Amazon.

Towards an evidence‐based and research‐driven restoration strategy for Britain's temperate rainforests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Woodlands globally are threatened by environmental change and biodiversity loss. Temperate rainforests are an ecologically rich ecosystem found in wet regions of the temperate zone, and Britain has the potential for major temperate rainforest coverage in its nature‐depleted landscape.

Learning from normal work in complex sociotechnical system—Case in midstream operation

Process Safety Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract The complexity of vessel‐to‐single‐buoy mooring operations conducted in midstream requires interventions and adaptability from workers to maintain operational continuity, given variability in normal work conditions. However, the same adaptability needed to operate in such a complex and dynamic environment can also lead to undesirable system ...
