Sustainable management of wild-harvested plants is crucial. 🌍 Our study is a first national step, showing both richness and risks. We need stronger coordination and regulations to secure these resources.

🌿 Doing science deep in the #Congo rainforest?
Lucette Adet, postdoc at CREAF, is doing just that with the European project #CoForFunc.
📍They need to walk 30 km to the field site!
👉 The goal: to understand how tropical forests grow, survive, and handle environmental stress like #drought.
Did you know that wild plant harvesting is an ancient practice that remains vital—from medicine to food and cosmetics? 🌿
Yet its ecological impact is overlooked. In a new study, we assessed 692 species in France (12% of the flora) to uncover drivers and conservation gaps.

Excited to share our new study in Ecography, led by Maxime Lenormand: combining naturalist inventories and satellite data to map plant biodiversity.
Here’s a bioregionalization of the flora of France!

Huge team effort led by the brilliant Fabian Fischer!
Can tropical rainforest trees keep their cool? Now out in @globalchangebio.bsky.social we explored whether intraspecific variation in leaf energy balance was a result of adaptation to local climate.

⛰️🌳New study examines wood density variation across an elevational gradient from the Andean tree line to the Amazon basin, finding a decline from low to middle elevations, followed by an increase near the tree line. Species composition and disturbances influenced this pattern. 👉 buff.ly/ujConkt
