Plants under Pressure: The Impact of Environmental Change on Plant Ecology and Evolution
Plants are our ancient allies, sustaining and nourishing life, yet many human actions are putting them increasingly under pressure. Worryingly, 39.4% of all plant species are now threatened with extinction, according to Royal Botanic Gardens Kew's 2020 State of the World's Plants and Fungi report. To highlight this issue and support the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) 6: Clean water and sanitation, 13: Climate action, 14: Life below water and 15: Life on land, BMC Ecology and Evolution has launched this Collection to bring together research on:
the impact of environmental change on plant ecology and evolution (e.g., climate and land use change),
threats to plant survival (e.g., the introduction of invasive species) and potential consequences of plant loss,
halting and reversing biodiversity loss,
and methods to monitor changes in plant species composition (e.g., airbourne eDNA and remote sensing).
