Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Geochemical support for a climbing habit within the Paleozoic seed fern genus Medullosa [PDF]
, 2011 A long-standing problem in paleobotany is the accurate identification of the growth habits and statures of fossil plants. Tissue-specific analysis of stable carbon isotope ratios in plant fossils can provide an independent perspective on this issue ...

Mitigating memory requirements for random trees/ferns
2015 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), 2015 Randomized sets of binary tests have appeared to be quite effective in solving a variety of image processing and vision problems. The exponential growth of their memory usage with the size of the sets however hampers their implementation on the memory-constrained hardware generally available on low-power embedded systems.

Response of specific leaf area to light: comparative study of a large species set
Oikos, EarlyView.Specific leaf area (SLA) is a commonly used proxy for the leaf economy spectrum in plants, separating species with low‐cost leaves (in terms of carbon) with short lifespan and hence fast turnover from species with high‐cost and long‐lived leaves. While SLA is used mainly for interspecific comparisons, it also varies within species both ontogenetically ...

Genetic and morphological identification of a recurrent Dicksonia tree fern hybrid in New Zealand.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Hybridization is common in many ferns and has been a significant factor in fern evolution and speciation. However, hybrids are rare between the approximately 30 species of Dicksonia tree ferns world-wide, and none are well documented.
