This study developed by @nicocaram et al. in Uruguay, published in @ApplVegSci, showed that the aboveground biomass is predictive of functional composition and diversity in native grasslands vegsciblog.org/2023/02/21/bio… @IAVS5

Researchers from the Arthur Rylah Institute have found above-average rainfall events that stimulate seed germination are not enough to ensure the long-term survival of semi-arid woodlands in southeastern Australia. vegsciblog.org/2023/02/22/rai… #ARIscience @DEECA_Vic @JVegSci @IAVS5

Seedbanks enhance resilience in ecosystems restored after mining. By applying smoke to soil seedbanks, we found that regeneration following fire is possible in sites restored three to 26 years ago. Behind the paper blog by @ebony_cowan vegsciblog.org/2023/02/14/res… @IAVS5 @ApplVegSci
