Machine Learning Unfolds New Insights Into Leaf Traits and Climate
A novel machine learning-based study using digitized herbarium collections provides insights into the relationship between leaf size and climate across different plant species, and demonstrates the benefit of human involvement in training the AI model.
An invasive plant thrives on the edge of fire
Botanists discover unexpected ways in which controlled fires can influence plant diversity, including the puzzling persistence of certain invasive species.
The Mathematics of How Plants Combat Pollen Scarcity with Self-Pollination
Through innovative eco-evolutionary models, Kuangyi Xu offers fresh insights into how plants could self-rescue in times of pollen scarcity by balancing the benefits and costs of self-fertilization.
A global fern species needs local solutions for conservation
Researchers explore how climate change and human activity impact the distribution and survival of a unique fern species.
Coffee Plants Adapt Leaf Traits in Response to Fungal Disease, Study Finds
The study provides valuable insights into plant-pathogen interactions with implications for agriculture, ecology, and climate change resilience.
Can botanists help keep a vital ally against desertification growing in the desert?
One way to preserve plants suffering from rising temperatures is to relocate them in new areas that have become suitable for them. But when a plant grows in the sands of a harsh desert, you don’t want that habitat to expand.
What’s the smallest payment you can give to a courier who carries your pollen?
Researchers reveal the delicate balance plants must maintain to maximize their pollen donation to pollinators.
Big Brother keeps its eye on leaves to measure the health of ecosystems
Phenocams, cameras that monitor leaf function, offer a promising new method to track and detect the impact of climate change on ecosystems, helping conservation efforts and ensuring long-term resilience.
