The multiple, complex risks to plant species survival are increasing, and conservation strategies that include ex situ as well in approaches needed now more than ever. Seed banking (drying at c.15% relative humidity then storing −20 °C) is the most efficient effective method for long-term a majority of species. However, some not amenable this practice, such have been labeled exceptional. Critical limitations conventional seed include: 1) unavailability sufficient storage; 2) seeds completely...
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...
With two in five plant species facing extinction, diversity loss demands action that integrates ex situ with conservation approaches. While seed banks has been widely adopted, this technology cannot be applied to exceptional species, which require alternative We propose a new conceptual framework, resulting the creation of global working Exceptional Status List. Using semi-automated method evaluate over 23,000 plants, 775 were identified as exceptional, <3% those predicted exceptional. These...
Abstract Relict species provide a unique opportunity to understand past and recent biogeographical evolutionary processes. Zelkova abelicea (Ulmaceae), which is endemic the island of Crete (Greece), one most prominent Tertiary relict trees Mediterranean region. We collected distribution, threat population structure data by reviewing literature herbaria through field surveys at 14 study plots throughout range species. The present distribution Z. extremely fragmented. Although total estimated...
