DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1440
Abstract: PREMISE Perhaps the most rapid period of vascular plant evolution occurred during the Silurian-Devonian time interval. Yet, few quantitative analyses have established the extent to which anatomical, morphological, or reproductive features contributed to this episode… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2820
Abstract: Biotic interactions can shape species’ distributions through their impact on species’ realized niches, potentially constraining or expanding the range of conditions under which species occur. We examine whether fine‐scale plant–plant interactions scale up to shape… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02450-y
Abstract: A diverse Phytophthora community was detected in recent surveys conducted in alpine and subalpine areas, previously considered Phytophthora free. The current study was conducted to determine patterns of Phytophthora species richness and distribution along a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11442-019-1667-1
Abstract: For quantitatively explaining the correlations between the vascular plant species abundance (VPSA) and habitat factors, a spatial simulation method has been developed to simulate the distribution of VPSA on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this paper,… read more here.

Contrasting response of vascular plant and bryophyte species assemblages to a soil-disturbing ecosystem engineer in calcareous grasslands

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2016.11.037
Abstract: Abstract Species-rich grasslands are highly threatened by land-use change, including fertilization, land-use intensification and abandonment. These changes evoke a loss of structural heterogeneity. Aside from specific management measures to increase structural heterogeneity, small-scale patches of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2019.e00846
Abstract: Abstract Vascular plant richness contributes significantly to ecosystem function and services. Understanding the environmental predictors of vascular plant richness can therefore support conservation efforts of biodiversity and ecosystem services at large spatial scales. This study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41477-021-00974-2
Abstract: Field photographs of plant species are crucial for research and conservation, but the lack of a centralized database makes them difficult to locate. We surveyed 25 online databases of field photographs and found that they… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gigascience/giz007
Abstract: Abstract Background Genome sequencing has been widely used in plant research to construct reference genomes and provide evolutionary insights. However, few plant species have had their whole genome sequenced, thus restraining the utility of these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2018-0288
Abstract: Wildfire is the predominant natural disturbance in the boreal forests of western Canada. Natural disturbance based forest management involves the use of retention harvesting to retain stand structural diversity after harvest; however, unlike fire, this… read more here.
