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.

The role of soil community biodiversity in insect biodiversity [PDF]
Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2010 Abstract. 1. This study demonstrates that feedback loops between plants and insects contribute to both plant and insect diversity. Synthesis of several studies reveals that both bottom‐up and top‐down forces are important for plant and insect communities. 2.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Methods to evaluate soil functional biodiversity to estimate agroecosystem sustainability
, 2014 Biodiversity is fundamental to preserve soil ecosystem services (ES). In 2012-2013 in five organic-biodynamic and five conventional horticultural fields in Venice and Treviso provinces (North Italy), several bioindicators have been chosen providing basic

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.
