Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.During a biosystematics study of the Iranian species of the genus Elymus in 2022–2024 a new species for the genus Elymus L. was found in the Arasbaran region of northwest Iran. The new species is morphologically close to Elymus repens and Elymus elongatiformis but differs in terms of inflorescence shape, shape and size of glumes, and characteristics of

Globally widespread weeds show preadaptation to non‐analogue climates: a common garden approach
Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic niche shifts have been documented for plant species introduced into new regions, however the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Niche shifts into novel climates are particularly difficult to predict as previous occurrence data cannot reveal whether these novel climates are within species' fundamental niche limits.

Oikos, EarlyView.To understand the structuring of species assemblages, integrating life‐history traits and evolutionary heritage in analyses is vital. This allows the assessment of a mechanistic link between species and their environment. Deadwood systems are vital for nutrient cycling and biodiversity support, governed by complex intra‐ and inter‐specific fungal and ...

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation decisions often require navigating tensions among ecological, cultural, economic and social priorities. While debates frequently centre on single‐species outcomes, less is known about how care for landscapes may contribute to co‐stewardship.

Resilience for restoration: Insights from the Northern Great Plains native seed system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Native plants are essential to ecological restoration and culturally important to local and Tribal communities, yet native seed systems across the United States (US) struggle to meet restoration demand. In the US Northern Great Plains, land conversion of native ecosystems means restoration potential is high but constrained by an underdeveloped

Care through cultivation: Indigenous Swidden agriculture as forest care
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract This paper argues that the agricultural practices of Bunong swidden cultivators in northeastern Cambodia constitute relational care for forests that is fundamentally misunderstood, misrecognized, and marginalized by dominant state policies, conservation, and development paradigms. Bringing together care theory, long‐term ethnographic research,

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...
