Understanding How Fire-Adapted Plants Face Climate Change Through the Concept of “Modularity”
Chiminazzo and colleagues shed light on the intriguing survival strategies of woody plants in fire-prone ecosystems, using the Brazilian Cerrado as an example.
Climate Change Creates a Complex Battlefield for Native and Exotic Plant Species
As the climate warms, shifts in temperature and water availability, affects competition and interaction among native and exotic plant species in Southern British Columbia.
Pulling apart the many chromosomes of Rhododendron to improve conservation
Hu and team reveal a rich diversity of chromosome counts in the Rhododendron genus, potentially reshaping understanding of species diversification and offering crucial insights for biodiversity conservation.
Unlocking the Sweet Potato’s Underground Secrets Will Boost Food Security
Sarah Mathura’s new study charts a vital path to understanding sweet potato growth and boosting its yield, potentially revolutionising food security in developing countries.
How do Syntrichia mosses carry water when they’ve nothing to carry it in?
Syntrichia mosses, masters of water management, exhibit a range of diverse strategies for conducting and storing water.
Understanding the Complex Interplay of Multiple Stressors on Plant Populations
Zettlemoyer’s study casts a new light on plant conservation, illustrating the power of a holistic, multifactorial examination of stressors.
Timed release of phosphorus improves growth in tomatoes
Research by Ngo and colleagues illustrates how carefully managing the use of organic and inorganic phosphorus and nitrogen sources can increase tomato yield and potentially contribute to more sustainable agriculture.
Anatomical and hydraulic adaptations in Amazonian savannas allow flora to survive drought
Scientists studied how plants in the Amazonian savannas survive in dry conditions. They found that different plants have unique ways of persisting in this challenging environment, like having thick leaves or special structures in their branches, which help them grow in this unique ecosystem.
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.
Stay in the loop.
