Plants are resilient, but even they are struggling with the increasing presence of microplastics.

Good intentions in ecological restoration can sometimes result in the unintentional spread of plant diseases due to neglected risk assessments and biosecurity measures.

Alpine plants, according to a recent study, are more at risk from prolonged heatwaves than previously thought, as extended heat exposure lowers the temperature at which critical damage occurs.

The exotic Bombax ceiba tree emerges as an unlikely champion for urban biodiversity in Brazil, supporting numerous bird species and strengthening the human-nature connection.

An investigation into urban meadows illuminates their importance in harbouring diverse pollinator communities, underscoring the need to maintain and improve these green spaces for the health of our urban ecosystems.

As climate change narrows seagrass habitats, a surprising twist emerges - the rise of unique species, challenging our understanding of biodiversity and conservation strategies.

Southern France's flora is on the move, with vegetation at lower altitudes reacting more rapidly to warming trends and shifts in water balance.

When hungry Hungary beavers choose their meal, they're shaping future forests too.

Zettlemoyer's study casts a new light on plant conservation, illustrating the power of a holistic, multifactorial examination of stressors.

Botanists discover unexpected ways in which controlled fires can influence plant diversity, including the puzzling persistence of certain invasive species.

Researchers explore how climate change and human activity impact the distribution and survival of a unique fern species.

Rewilding – the practice of reintroducing wild flora and fauna into their natural habitats – is a conservation strategy gaining traction worldwide. Carlos Navarro and colleagues have examined rewilding on the Argentine Puna, a high-altitude grassland ecosystem. They wanted to know, how does rewilding, specifically the replacement of domestic herbivores with their wild counterparts, affect biodiversity, […]
