Hedgerows act as wildlife corridors for the wildlife that cannot walk
Hedgerows may provide habitat for forest plants to colonise to travel in Europe’s patchwork woodland.
Plant Science from Cell Biology to Ecosystems
Hedgerows may provide habitat for forest plants to colonise to travel in Europe’s patchwork woodland.
Intensification of agriculture has led to a decline in pollinators. One reason is the loss of key species to support bees and flies, but how diverse a mix of plants to you need to support an ecosystem?
Genetic diversity was highest in above-ground populations, though below-ground populations contained 8 % of unique alleles that were absent above-ground.
Unexpectedly high levels of molecular diversity are found within populations of Sorbus domestica, irrespective of their location.
Natural selection and genetic drift are important evolutionary forces in determining genetic and phenotypic differentiation in plant populations.
