Seeing roots from space: aboveground fingerprints of root depth in vegetation sensitivity to climate in dry biomes.
With predicted climate change, drylands are set to get warmer and drier, increasing water stress for the vegetation in these regions. Plant sensitivity to drier periods and drought events will largely depend on trait strategies to access and store water, often linked to the root system. However, understanding the role... -

Managing biodiversity in the Anthropocene: discussing the Nature Futures Framework as a tool for adaptive decision-making for nature under climate change.
Conservation approaches to social-ecological systems have largely been informed by a framing of preserving nature for its instrumental societal benefits, often ignoring the complex relationship of humans and nature and how climate change might impact these. The Nature Futures Framework (NFF) was developed by the Task Force on scenarios and... -

Native trees of Mexico: diversity, distribution, uses and conservation (datasets used for spatial analyses)
Datasets of plant occurrences used for the spatial analyses described in the paper. The majority of the tree species data and their occurrence records were obtained from the database of the National Biodiversity Information System (SNIB) of the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO), freely available...Tellez, Oswaldo ; Mattana, Efisio ; Diazgranados, Mauricio ; Kühn, Nicola ; Castillo-Lorenzo, Elena …

Native trees of Mexico: diversity, distribution, uses and conservation
Background Mexico is one of the most floristically rich countries in the world. Despite significant contributions made on the understanding of its unique flora, the knowledge on its diversity, geographic distribution and human uses, is still largely fragmented. Unfortunately, deforestation is heavily impacting this country and native tree species...Tellez, Oswaldo ; Mattana, Efisio ; Diazgranados, Mauricio ; Kühn, Nicola ; Castillo-Lorenzo, Elena …

Potential adaptive strategies for 29 sub-Saharan crops under future climate change
Climate change is expected to severely impact cultivated plants and consequently human livelihoods, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Increasing agricultural plant diversity (agrobiodiversity) could overcome this global challenge given more information on the climatic tolerance of crops and their wild relatives. Using >200,000 worldwide occurrence records for 29 major crops...
