Plants under pressure: the impact of environmental change on plant ecology and evolution

Isabel C Barrio et al. BMC Ecol Evol. .

Abstract

Plants have demonstrated tremendous resilience through past mass extinction events. However, anthropogenic pressures are rapidly threatening plant survival. To develop our understanding of the impact of environmental change on plant ecology and evolution and help solve the current biodiversity crisis, BMC Ecology and Evolution has launched a new article Collection titled "Plants under Pressure".
