Researchers found that plant species with certain traits, like longer bloom periods and efficient resource utilisation, are more likely to successfully thrive in foreign environments.
Research found that combining native prairie plants and Sedum species on green roofs enhances stormwater capture, cooling, and thermal insulation compared to using Sedum alone.
The parasitic dodder weed doesn't just sap soybean's strength alone - it lets in fungal gatecrashers like Alternaria too, despite soybean's attempts to biochemically barricade its roots with flavonoids.
Scientists have found urban cooling solutions in the ancient wisdom of classical Chinese gardens, whose large green spaces and water features create wider cooling zones.
Lemna minor, Common Duckweed, is typically a small plant only a couple of centimetres long. New research finds that it gets even smaller when microbes interact with the plant.
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.
Discover how the survival strategies of grass species, intertwined with climate and functional traits, could forecast the fate of ecosystems amid climate change.
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.
Plants have an amazing ability to remember and adapt to different environments, which helps them survive and grow better, and scientists are using different scientific approaches to understand how this works, unlocking...
