Abstract With 450,000 km 2 Kobresia (syn. Carex) pygmaea dominated pastures in the
eastern Tibetan highlands are the world's largest pastoral alpine ecosystem forming a …

Aims Vegetation classification consistent with the Braun‐Blanquet approach is widely used
in Europe for applied vegetation science, conservation planning and land management …

Cyperaceae (sedges) are the third largest monocot family and are of considerable economic
and ecological importance. Sedges represent an ideal model family to study evolutionary …

The Palaearctic steppes range from the Mediterranean basin towards China, forming one of
the largest continuous terrestrial biomes. The literature on steppe ecology and conservation …

Abstract The Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) are a vital part of the Southern
Hemisphere's coupled ocean-atmosphere system and play an important role in the global …

Phylogenetic studies of Carex L.(Cyperaceae) have consistently demonstrated that most
subgenera and sections are para‐or polyphyletic. Yet, taxonomists continue to use …

The megadiverse genus Carex (c. 2000 species, Cyperaceae) has a nearly cosmopolitan
distribution, displaying an inverted latitudinal richness gradient with higher species diversity …

The field of systematics is experiencing a new molecular revolution driven by the increased
availability of high-throughput sequencing technologies. As these techniques become more …

This paper provides a linear classification of two subfamilies, 24 tribes, 10 subtribes and 95
genera of the monocot family Cyperaceae (Poales), based on a stable phylogenetic …

The majority of sequenced genomes in the monocots are from species belonging to
Poaceae, which include many commercially important crops. Here, we expand the number …
