Current knowledge, status, and future for plant and fungal diversity in Great Britain and the UK Overseas Territories
Societal Impact Statement We rely on plants and fungi for most aspects of our lives. Yet plants and fungi are under threat, and we risk losing species before we know their identity, roles, and potential uses. Knowing names, distributions, and threats are first steps toward effective conservation action. Accessible products... -

Exploring seed longevity of UK native trees: implications for ex situ conservation
UK trees require increased conservation efforts due to sparse and fragmented populations. Ex situ conservation, including seed banking, can be used to better manage these issues. We conducted accelerated ageing tests on seeds of 22 UK native woody species, in order to assess their likely longevity and optimize their conservation...Davies, Rachael M. ; Hudson, Alice R. ; Dickie, John B. ; Cook, Charlotte ; O'Hara, Tom …

A Strategy for UK Forest Genetic Resources: protecting the UK’s unique diversity of trees and shrubs
This Strategy aims to create a framework for collaboration to better understand, protect and use the genetic diversity in the UK’s trees. It focuses on native species and introduced species where naturalisation has taken place or where important varieties or landraces have been developed in the UK. For ease of...Trivedi, Clare ; Cavers, Stephen ; Atkinson, Nick ; Clark, Jo ; Cottrell, Joan

Genetic diversity in British populations of Taxus baccata L.: Is the seedbank collection representative of the genetic variation in the wild?
Seed banking is an invaluable tool in plant conservation, both as an archive and a source of genetic variation. Despite the increasing focus on the validation of sampling strategies, few studies have empirically related diversity in seed bank collections with variation in wild-provenance populations. By using a set of nuclear...Gargiulo, Roberta ; Saubin, Méline ; Rizzuto, Gabriele ; West, Bede ; Fay, Michael …
