Societal Impact Statement Identifying regions of the world that are rich in plant species will
enable conservation efforts to be more effectively targeted. We present a review of global …

SDMs are not new to conservation, but their popularity has increased dramatically in recent
years. This step-by-step review provides an overview of the efficacy of SDMs in guiding …

For more than three decades, major efforts in sampling and analyzing tree diversity in South
America have focused almost exclusively on trees with stems of at least 10 and 2.5 cm …

Climate change is having profound effects on species distributions and is likely altering the
distribution of genetic variation across landscapes. Maintaining population genetic diversity …

Human disturbances are greatly threatening to the biodiversity of vascular plants. Compared
to seed plants, the diversity patterns of ferns have been poorly studied along disturbance …

Climate, topography, and human activities are known to influence plant diversity. In the
present study, species-abundance distribution (SAD) patterns of the shrub community were …

Ferns and lycophytes are excellent model organisms to investigate the effect of climate
change on species niches, due to their high sensitivity to changes in temperature and …

Analyzing plant species richness across a broad geographic gradient is critical for
understanding the patterns and processes of biodiversity. In view of this, a species richness …

Tropical forests, although covering only 7% of the world's land area, have great forest
carbon sequestration capacity, accounting for 20% of the world's forest carbon sink …

Climate, topography, and tree structure have different effects on plant diversity that vary with
spatial scale. In this study, we assessed the contribution of these drivers and how they affect …
