Abstract Urgent solutions to global climate change are needed. Ambitious tree‐planting initiatives, many already underway, aim sequester enormous quantities of carbon partly compensate for anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, which a major cause rising temperatures. However, tree planting that is poorly planned and executed could actually increase emissions have long‐term, deleterious impacts on biodiversity, landscapes livelihoods. Here, we highlight the main environmental risks large‐scale...
The global push to achieve ecosystem restoration targets has resulted in an increased demand for native seeds that current production systems are not able fulfill. In many countries, used ecological often sourced from natural populations. Though providing seed is reflective of the genetic diversity a species, wild harvesting cannot meet demands large‐scale and may also result depletion resources through over harvesting. To improve decrease costs, have been established several countries...
Many of the skills and resources associated with botanic gardens arboreta, including plant taxonomy, horticulture, seed bank management, are fundamental to ecological restoration efforts, yet few world's involved in science or practice restoration. Thus, we examined potential role these emerging fields. We believe a reorientation certain existing institutional strengths, such as plant-based research knowledge transfer, would enable many more worldwide provide effective science-based support...
Vascular plants are often considered to be among the better known large groups of organisms, but gaps in available baseline data extensive, and recent estimates total (described) seed plant species range from 200 000 422 000. Of these, global assessments conservation status using International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) categories criteria only approximately 10 species. In response recommendations Conference Parties Convention on Biological Diversity develop biodiversity indicators...
Societal Impact Statement Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt estimation variation identify gaps in enabling better prioritisation species conservation efforts. These advancements inform policy targets like...
Societal Impact Statement Humankind is facing both climate and biodiversity crises. This article proposes the foundations of a scheme that offers tradable credits for combined aboveground soil carbon biodiversity. Multidiversity—as estimated based on high‐throughput molecular identification meiofauna, fungi, bacteria, protists, plants other organisms shedding DNA into soil, complemented by acoustic video analyses macrobiota—offers cost‐effective method captures much terrestrial Such...
Abstract Population loss due to habitat disturbance is a major concern in biodiversity conservation. Here we investigate the genetic causes of demographic decline observed English populations Pulsatilla vulgaris and consequences for Using 10 nuclear microsatellite markers, compare variation wild with restored seed-regenerated (674 samples). Emergence structure allelic natural are not as evident expected from trends. Restored show comparable their source and, general, ones. Genetic...
Berenty Reserve, a fully protected gallery forest beside the Mandrare River is renowned for its lemurs, but continuous canopy of main shrinking, fragmenting and degrading. The aim this study, before any restoration can be considered, to investigate why canopy-cover declining define forest’s vegetation status composition. Our study includes analysis tamarind age (the dominant species) regeneration, extent, climate soil. Measurement trunk circumference annual rings indicated median 190 years,...
Abstract Indonesian biodiversity including the rich flora is facing various threats, deforestation, habitat degradation, fire, natural disasters and climate change. Many ex situ conservation strategies have been implemented in response to this problem, development of new local botanic gardens each province throughout Indonesia. The purpose paper reveal important role seed banks forming part gardens’ collections management – they now play an increasingly saving from extinction. This study was...
Carbon crediting and land offsets for biodiversity protection are implemented to tackle the challenges of increasing greenhouse gas emissions loss global biodiversity, but these two mechanisms not optimal when considered separately. Focusing solely on carbon capture – primary goal most carbon-focused offsetting commitments often results in establishment non-native, fast-growing monocultures that negatively affect soil-related ecosystem services. Soil contributes a vast proportion contains...
