Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

This Open Letter highlights plant regeneration as a critical and overlooked dimension of ecosystem resilience under global environmental change. Biodiversity monitoring, conservation and agricultural....

New experiments in the Australian Alps reveal how warming, drought and fire quietly undermine plant survival.

One of the 15 publications that put out the most studies globally has been expelled from the indexing system for irregularities. Its publisher, Elsevier, has a 38% profit margin that reached $1.5 bill...

This study examines seed oil content patterns in 47 alpine species, revealing a significant trade-off between seed oil and seed longevity.

Seed longevity: analysing post-storage germination data in R to fit the viability equation

The ability of plants to successfully regenerate depends on complex physiological and ecological processes, and one of the first vital stages is seed germination, which depends on temperature, lig...

This study combines novel laboratory experimentation based on detailed field microclimatic data to tackle the understudied topic of germination phenology in alpine habitats. The findings suggest a pr...
