ABSTRACT Aim For improved predictions of the redistribution of species under climate change, there is a need to better understand how interactions among multiple abiotic drivers affect species distributions. We examined whether occupancy patterns of forest plant species change consistently along geographic and macroclimatic gradients. We further tested

Study results show that over 70% of the permanent grasslands are affected by soil acidity and moisture excess. In addition, 54% of the floristic structure of these grasslands is made up of invasive species of no value as fodder plants.

Complete plastid genomes from Ophioglossum californicum, Psilotum nudum, and Equisetum hyemale reveal an ancestral land plant genome structure and resolve the position of Equisetales among monilophytes [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Plastid genome structure and content is remarkably conserved in land plants. This widespread conservation has facilitated taxon-rich phylogenetic analyses that have resolved organismal relationships among many land plant groups.

We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

Determination of Ellenberg’s indicator values along an elevational gradient in Central Black Sea Region of Turkey [PDF]
The Central Black Sea Region has an unique vegetation because different vegetation types occurred. In the present study plant communities (from Mediterranean-type to temperate forests) in the Central Black Sea Region along an elevational gradient was ...

Modeling Neglected and Underutilized Crops for Future Food Resilience: A Regional MaxEnt Workflow
ABSTRACT Increasing agrobiodiversity is a widely supported idea and prevalent topic in academic discussion recently as a means to combat the effects of climate change. However, there is a lack of connection between academic discussion and application.

Regionalization of European Habitat Classification (EUNIS) for Effective Ecosystem Assessment
The study presents a regionalization framework for EUNIS habitat classification. We relied on European concepts to define 99 regional ecologically meaningful habitats that were strongly linked to environmental drivers and legal conservation categories.
