Experimental Evidence for Edge-Mediated Microclimatic Refuge in a Southern Range Margin Population of <i>Silene regia</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe examined spatial distribution, growth, and reproductive output of the grassland perennial Silene regia at the southern edge of its geographic range in Georgia, USA, across a forest‐grassland boundary. Individuals located along the edge exhibited greater growth and fecundity than those in adjacent open grassland or forest, a pattern that shifted ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 An increasing number of phylogeographic studies have been conducted for plant species in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and its flanking mountains. However, these studies have mainly focused on the determination of glacial refugia and routes of inter-/

Mountain Riparian Zones as Refugia for Rare and Endangered Plants Under Climate Change. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study integrates Species Distribution Models and the InVEST model to project the distribution of 32 rare and endangered plants in the Irtysh River Basin under climate change. Results predict range contractions for 60% of species by 2050 and reveal that 80% of species currently fall outside protected areas, despite the role of mountains as climate ...

Managing climate change microrefugia for vascular plants in forested karst landscapes [PDF]
Forest Ecology and Management, 2021 Abstract Microrefugia are small areas that support favourable climate and allow species to persist during regional and global climate changes. Dolines in karst landscapes may provide such areas for many climate change-vulnerable species. Here we provide a better understanding on how plant species indicate changes in their environment (temperature ...

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Climate refugia management is an emerging natural resource sub-discipline but identifying which species would benefit, their climatic requirements, and where both species and suitable conditions are located remains problematic.

A GIS-Based Water Balance Approach Using a LiDAR-Derived DEM Captures Fine-Scale Vegetation Patterns
Remote Sensing, 2019 Topography exerts strong control on microclimate, resulting in distinctive vegetation patterns in areas of moderate to high relief. Using the Thornthwaite approach to account for hydrologic cycle components, a GIS-based Water Balance Toolset is presented

Genetic diversity of the extremely rare Habenaria dentata and the rare Habenaria linearifolia (Orchidaceae) in South Korea: implications for population history and conservation [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Background and aims – Since historical events often leave an indelible mark on levels of genetic diversity of plant populations, one may indirectly infer their evolutionary history with the help of current patterns of genetic diversity.
