🌼 Check out this new #AJB essay! 🌼 A practical prioritization strategy for vegetation-focused restoration of anthropogenic wastelands By Erika Stewart, Joshua Grinath & Kathryn Turner doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany #plantscience #ecology

An anthropogenic wasteland restoration framework depicted as a heatmap for assessing priorities and management strategies for wastelands in local proximity to high-quality habitats from low to high (x-axis), and landscapes that are unfragmented (low fragmentation) to highly fragmented (y-axis).

In vitro propagation of woody semi-mangrove species is often constrained by explant contamination, browning and stage-specific morphogenic responses. The authors examined how explant developmental state, basal-medium strength and plant growth regulators affected in vitro establishment and regeneration responses in Heritiera littoralis.
