Understanding climate change impacts on biome and plant distributions in the Andes: Challenges and opportunities
Aim Climate change is expected to impact mountain biodiversity by shifting species ranges
and the biomes they shape. The extent and regional variation in these impacts are still …

Low availability of functional seed trait data from the tropics could negatively affect global macroecological studies, predictive models and plant conservation
Background Plant seeds have many traits that influence ecological functions, ex situ
conservation, restoration success and their sustainable use. Several seed traits are known …
