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...

Estimating genetic variation in seed collections using seed morphology
Can variation in seed morphological traits allow us to estimate genetic variation in seed banks of vulnerable plant species?

Genetic variation in early fitness traits across European populations of silver birch
How will silver birch populations across Europe be affected by climate change?
Contrasting soil-texture niches, competitive abilities, and coexistence
When closely related plant species occur in the same region, their distributions at small spatial scales are expected to depend on whether they have evolved different tolerances to variation in the environment. Whether...

Fire and daily temperatures as germination cues
Brief but high soil temperatures caused by fire are followed by a more prolonged shift in the range of daily soil temperatures as a result of the removal of vegetation. Santana et al. use experimental fires and...
