Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

Governance and infrastructure as pillars of performance: A socio‐ecological analysis of Ethiopian botanical gardens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
While botanical gardens are often perceived merely as recreational spaces for a weekend walk, in the Global South, they are true lifelines for nature and for the people who depend on it. Our research in Ethiopia explored what actually keeps these gardens running long‐term.

Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...

Strong differentiation between source and ex situ populations of rare plant species revealed by next‐generation sequencing

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is being lost rapidly worldwide due to factors such as climate change and habitat loss. To help safeguard plant populations, conservation strategies include seed banks and conservation cultures. However, it remains unclear how cultivation affects genetic variation compared with wild populations.

Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.
