Leaf morphometry of six Podocarpaceae species from Peru: A contribution to their taxonomic identification

Lilloa
The present study evaluated the potential use of leaf morphometry for the taxonomic identification of six Podocarpaceae species. We collected botanical samples from 17 forests across five departments in northern, central, and southern Peru (Cajamarca ...

Hidden lineages in the African Sky Islands: A taxonomic reevaluation of Afrocarduus (Compositae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Species delimitation is crucial for biodiversity studies. Using Hyb‐Seq and phylogenomics, we reassessed Afrocarduus, endemic to Afromontane and Afroalpine regions, uncovering 16 evolutionary lineages (2.3 Mya). Morphological data support their distinctiveness, with acaulescence evolving independently twice. The traditionally broad A.

Scientific results of the Bryotrop expedition to Zaire and Rwanda : 7., life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes from tropical lowland and montane forests, ericaceous woodlands and the Dendrosenecio subpáramo of the eastern Congo basin and the adjacent mountains (Parc National de Kahuzi-Biega/Zaire, Forêt de Nyungwe/Rwanda) [PDF]

, 1995
Life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes are studied along an altitudinal gradient from the eastern Congo basin (tropical lowland zone) to the mountains of the East-African graben (tropical subalpine/alpine Zone; BRYOTROP III-transect).

Harnessing the benefits of herbarium specimen digitisation for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Podocarpus imbricatus (Podocarpaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Podocarpus imbricatus (Podocarpaceae) was determined. Like other chloroplast genomes in conifers, the Podocarpus imbricatus genome did not have typical quadripartite structure. The genome was 133,

A late Holocene pollen record from proglacial Oblong Tarn, Mount Kenya [PDF]

, 2017
High-elevation ecosystems, such as those on Mount Kenya are undergoing significant changes, with accelerated glacial ice losses over the twentieth century creating new space for alpine plants to establish.

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Diversity, Structural Dynamics, Regeneration Potential, and Endemism of Moist Evergreen Afromontane Forests in Ethiopia

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The moist evergreen Afromontane forest (MEAF) in Ethiopia is characterized by unique species diversity and serves as the center of origin and diversity for Coffea arabica. A systematic review of MEAF in Ethiopia was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 protocol.

Chitosan Oligosaccharide Addition to Buddhist Pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus (Thunb) Sweet) under Drought: Reponses in Ecophysiology and δ13C Abundance

Forests, 2020
Climate warming induces the necessity to increase the drought resistance of shade-obligate juvenile trees in sub-tropical forests. Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) is a biopolymer derived from the marine resource that has attracted accumulative attention ...

Comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms and vegetation indices for mapping Eucalyptus tree woodlots using Sentinel‐2 imagery in the Akaki River catchments

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Eucalyptus trees (ETs) cover approximately 20 million ha globally, with Brazil leading at 5.6 million ha. In Africa, ET plantations span around 1.5 million ha, primarily in South Africa and Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, ET plays a key role in agroforestry, covering 506,000 ha, which represents 90% of all planted trees in the form of woodlots.
