Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.This study comprehensively analyzes the diversity and distribution of over 500 year old large old trees (LOTs) in Guangxi, China, identifying 2630 LOTs from 149 species with a notable latitudinal gradient in richness. Tree vitality was found to be highest in rural and natural habitats like villages and scenic spots, compared to residential areas.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2730-2742, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Relative growth rate (RGR) has been a core demographic performance trait in community ecology because its species‐specific divergent responses to light often determine community structure and dynamics.

The Distribution Patterns of Vascular Plant Diversity in Green Spaces in Guangzhou, Southern China
Biological Diversity, Volume 2, Issue 2-3, Page 110-118, September 2025.Study on vascular plant diversity in three urban green space types in Guangzhou's built‐up area reveals type differences and “decrease‐then‐increase” urban‐rural gradients to inform conservation and planning. ABSTRACT Vascular plants are a fundamental component of urban green spaces (UGSs) and their diversity determines the associated ecological ...

The Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 2, July 2025.Significance Statement Parrotia is a Tertiary relict “living fossil” tree genus with two extant species (P. subaequalis and P. persica) exhibiting a disjunct distribution between East Asia and West Asia. Despite their long evolutionary history, the genomic basis of adaptation and speciation in this “living fossil” tree genus remain largely unexplored ...

Response of Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum ‘Ruby’ to Foliar Applications of Micronutrient Fertilizers and Miticide [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Horticulture, 2008 Abstract Loropetalum chinense (also called Chinese Fringebush or Chinese Witch Hazel) is commonly used in the Florida landscapes. However, in recent years, there have been increasing reports and complaints of unexplained decline throughout Central Florida. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth and quality response of

A comparative study on genetic effects of artificial and natural habitat fragmentation on Loropetalum chinense (Hamamelidaceae) in Southeast China [PDF]
Heredity, 2014 Elucidating the demographic and landscape features that determine the genetic effects of habitat fragmentation has become fundamental to research in conservation and evolutionary biology. Land-bridge islands provide ideal study areas for investigating the genetic effects of habitat fragmentation at different temporal and spatial scales. In this context,
