A roadmap to sustainable management of commercial medicinal and aromatic plants, fungi, and lichens in Nepal. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Thousands of plants, fungi, and lichen species are traded every year. Although sustainable use is critical for livelihoods and biodiversity conservation, insufficient data prevent detailed sustainability assessments for most species. How can the sustainability of trade in such data‐deficient species be enhanced?

Functional diversity of experimental annual plant assemblages drives plant responses to biological soil crusts in gypsum systems

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 488-503, March 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological soil crusts (BSC) are complex biotic aggregates comprised of lichens, cyanobacteria, algae and other micro‐organism that are known to differently affect plant development along life cycle by selecting plant functional traits based on species‐specific effects.

BotanizeR: A flexible R package with Shiny app to practice plant identification for online teaching and beyond

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 122-127, March 2022., 2022
Confronting the ongoing biodiversity crisis and our incomplete taxonomic knowledge on the world's plants requires well‐trained experts able to recognize and identify species. Although botanical training is an integral part of many university programs in biology, plant identification skills are becoming rare.

Life on a leaf: The development of spatial structure in epiphyll communities

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 619-630, March 2022., 2022
Using epiphyll spatial patterns to detect changes in ecological drivers that shape life on a leaf, this study shows how these miniature ecological communities living on rainforest leaves can be used as a model system for community dynamics. Abstract The spatial structure of biotic communities can be shaped by niche‐based or stochastic processes, and ...

World Flora Online: Placing taxonomists at the heart of a definitive and comprehensive global resource on the world's plants

TAXON, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 1311-1341, December 2020., 2020
Abstract It is time to synthesize the knowledge that has been generated through more than 260 years of botanical exploration, taxonomic and, more recently, phylogenetic research throughout the world. The adoption of an updated Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) in 2011 provided the essential impetus for the development of the World Flora ...

Species–area relationships on small islands differ among plant growth forms

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 814-829, May 2020., 2020
Abstract Aim We tested whether species–area relationships of small islands differ among plant growth forms and whether this influences the prevalence of the small‐island effect (SIE). The SIE states that species richness on small islands is independent of island area or relates to area in a different way compared with larger islands.
