From spore to gametophyte: Investigating morphological dynamics of hyaline cells and corresponding gene expression patterns in Sphagnum

BMC Plant Biology
Background Peatlands play a vital role in mitigating climate change and maintaining global ecological balance. At the core of these ecosystems are Sphagnum mosses, which rely on their hyaline cells—specialized structures with exceptional water retention ...

The causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on Germany's grasslands during a compound drought and heatwave in 2018

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.
