Non-linear growth in tree ferns, Dicksonia antarctica and Cyathea australis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Tree ferns are an important structural component of forests in many countries. However, because their regeneration is often unrelated to major disturbances, their age is often difficult to determine. In addition, rates of growth may not be uniform, which

rFerns: An Implementation of the Random Ferns Method for General-Purpose Machine Learning [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Software, 2014 Random ferns is a very simple yet powerful classification method originally introduced for specific computer vision tasks. In this paper, I show that this algorithm may be considered as a constrained decision tree ensemble and use this interpretation to ...

Effects of Climate Change Scenarios on Population and Distribution Pattern of Tree–Ferns in Nepal [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBy studying the population structure and spatial characteristics, the relationship between tree‐ferns and the environment can be reflected, which has high practical significance.

Distribution and morphological variation of tree ferns (Cyatheaceae) along an elevation gradient [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Knowing how species and communities respond to environmental change is fundamental in the context of climate change. The search for patterns of abundance and phenotypic variation along altitudinal gradients can provide evidence on adaptive limits.

Historical reconstruction of climatic and elevation preferences and the evolution of cloud forest-adapted tree ferns in Mesoamerica [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background Cloud forests, characterized by a persistent, frequent or seasonal low-level cloud cover and fragmented distribution, are one of the most threatened habitats, especially in the Neotropics.

Characterization and analysis of multi-organ full-length transcriptomes in Sphaeropteris brunoniana and Alsophila latebrosa highlight secondary metabolism and chloroplast RNA editing pattern of tree ferns [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Sphaeropteris brunoniana and Alsophila latebrosa are both old relict and rare tree ferns, which have experienced the constant changes of climate and environment. However, little is known about their high-quality genetic information and related

Genome-wide identification of five fern bHLH families and functional analysis of bHLHs in lignin biosynthesis in Alsophila spinulosa [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are involved in the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites. However, genome-wide studies on the bHLH gene family in ferns and their role in lignin biosynthesis remain limited.

Environmental factors affect population structure of tree ferns in the Brazilian subtropical Atlantic Forest [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2020 Tree ferns are important elements of tropical forests, mainly because they are common and provide microhabitats for epiphytic plants. Due to their ecological importance, the aim of this study was to evaluate population structure, distribution, and ...
