Understanding Species Diversity, Phenology and Environmental Implications of Different Life Forms in Coniferous Forests: A Case Study from Bhallesa Hills of Pir Panjal Mountain, We... by Opender Surmal, Bikarma Singh, Carmelo Maria Musarella

“…In this study, we selected the coniferous forests of Bhallesa Hills, situated in Pir Panjal Mountain (Jammu and Kashmir) of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot as a study area and used the quadrat method to document the floristic diversity over four years (2018–2021). The study sites were divided into four sub-sites (Chilli, Kahal, Chanwari, Gandoh), and at each site, 25 replicated plots (each measuring 2500 m², 50 × 50 m²) were established for repeated surveys and documentation. …”

Late Cretaceous through Cenozoic Paleoenvironmental History of the Bagua Basin, Peru: Paleoelevation Comparisons with the Central Andean Plateau by Federico Moreno, Carmala N. Garzione, Sarah W. M. George, Lauren Williams, Fabiana Richter, Alice Bandeian

“…We present new δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C signatures of pedogenic carbonate nodules from paleosols in the Campanian–Maastrichtian Fundo El Triunfo Formation and in the upper Eocene–middle Miocene Sambimera Formation to reconstruct the isotopic composition of paleo-meteoric water and the floristic biome. We compare these results to modern isotopic values from a newly obtained modern water transect to interpret the environmental evolution of this area and its relationship with the neighboring Eastern Cordillera. …”

“…Early stages were dominated by typical pioneer species but species of mature forests were present throughout the chronosequence, and therefore the species plant distribution between stages may be explained by the initial floristic composition model. Because sites from all stages had similar number of species, our study does not support the intermediate levels of disturbance hypothesis. …”

Resprouters Versus Reseeders: Are Wild Rooibos Ecotypes Genetically Distinct? by J. Brooks, N. P. Makunga, K. L. Hull, M. Brink-Hull, R. Malgas, R. Roodt-Wilding

“…Dahlgren (Fabaceae) or rooibos, is a strict endemic species, limited to areas of the Cederberg (Western Cape) and the southern Bokkeveld plateau (Northern Cape) in the greater Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa. Wild rooibos, unlike the cultivated type, is variable in morphology, biochemistry, ecology and genetics, and these ecotypes are broadly distinguished into two main groups, namely, reseeders and resprouters, based on their fire-survival strategy. …”

“…A linear regression was performed to identify the anthropogenic factors (fire, grazing, distance from villages to forests) driving temporal changes in floristic composition. We found a decline in forests area which was more critical after the implementation of PFM (2005 and 2021), with a slight decline in species diversity (1.80 ± 0.68 in 2007 and 1.65 ± 0.56 in 2023). …”
