Plant Organic Matter Really Matters: Pedological Effects of Kūpaoa (<i>Dubautia menziesii</i>) Shrubs in a Volcanic Alpine Area, Maui, Hawai’i by Francisco L. Pérez

“…Different litter dynamics and reproduction strategies may also explain contrasting soil properties between the monocarpic rosettes and polycarpic kūpaoa. By inducing substantial substrate changes, <i>Dubautia</i> shrubs alter&#8212;or even create&#8212;different microhabitats and exert critical control on alpine soil development at Haleakalā.…”

How do steppe plants follow their optimal environmental conditions or persist under suboptimal conditions? The differing strategies of annuals and perennials by Hocine Ait Mouheb, Leila Kadik, Cécile Hélène Albert, Rachda Berrached, Andreas Prinzing

“…We found high false‐negative rates in species with marginal environmental distribution (among annuals and perennials), small seeds, relatively deep roots, and specialized distributions (annuals) or large leaves, wide root‐systems, and monocarpic life cycle (perennials) (R2 = .38 for annuals and 0.65 for perennials). …”

Negative correlation between rates of molecular evolution and flowering cycles in temperate woody bamboos revealed by plastid phylogenomics by Peng-Fei Ma, Maria S. Vorontsova, Olinirina Prisca Nanjarisoa, Jacqueline Razanatsoa, Zhen-Hua Guo, Thomas Haevermans, De-Zhu Li

“…The temperate woody bamboos (tribe Arundinarieae, Poaceae) are noted for their extremely slow molecular evolutionary rates, supposedly caused by their mysterious monocarpic reproduction. However, the correlation between substitution rates and flowering cycles has not been formally tested. …”

Mitrephora monocarpa (Annonaceae): a new species from Surat Thani Province, Peninsular Thailand by Richard M.K. Saunders, Piya Chalermglin

“…It resembles two other species, M. alba Ridl. and M. keithii Ridl., with which it is broadly sympatric, but can be distinguished by its solitary flowers (not borne in thyrsoid inflorescences as in most other Mitrephora species), single carpel per flower (and hence single monocarp per fruit) and the lack of a monocarp stipe. …”

Two new species and two new records of Artabotrys (Annonaceae) from Thailand by Junhao Chen, Piya Chalermglin, Richard M.K. Saunders

“…Artabotrys tanaosriensis J.Chen, Chalermglin &amp;amp; R.M.K.Saunders, sp. nov., is similar to A. oblanceolatus Craib but differs in its symmetrical, cuneate or decurrent leaf base, externally distinct outer petal blades and claws, deltoid and undulate outer petal blades, rhomboid and undulate inner petal blades and shorter, subsessile and slightly beaked monocarps. Artabotrys spathulatus J.Chen, Chalermglin &amp;amp; R.M.K.Saunders, sp. nov., is most similar to A. tanaosriensis but differs in having flat outer petal blades, broadly rhomboid outer petal claws, broadly spathulate and strongly concave inner petal blades and strongly beaked monocarps. …”
