Electrical Resistivity Tomography for the 2D and 3D Investigation of Pingos and Permafrost Mounds in Northern Canada's Mountain and Coastland Areas

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pingos and related permafrost mounds are widespread periglacial landforms in Arctic environments that are ice‐rich on the one hand and contain taliks on the other, making them vulnerable to climate change. So far, the interior, geophysical characteristics, and distribution of ground ice within these dome‐ or cone‐shaped features have not been ...

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.
