Our new study, led by Xiao-Peng Tan, maps the distribution of plant strategies across European grasslands and projects how current patterns will be affected by ongoing climate change.

Our new study, led by Marc Riera, compares European niches and habitat relationships of alien plant species introduced intentionally or unintentionally. doi.org/10.1111/geb....

Distylous flowers in Primula veris (prvosenka jarní). The flower on the left has a short style with anthers above the stigma, while the flower on the right has a long style with anthers below the stigma. Both forms occur within the same population, and distyly prevents self-pollination.
Our new article in Science Advances, led by Gabriele Midolo, identifies the main factors driving changes in the species composition of plant communities across Europe: eutrophication, denser, more productive vegetation, and drying of wetlands. doi.org/10.1126/scia...
Mixed populations of two early-spring violets of southern European origin are now flowering in the Czech lowlands.
Viola odorata (darker bluish violet) has broader stipules with short teeth (upper right).
Viola suavis (white or light blue) has narrower, long fimbriate stipules (lower right).
The first comprehensive analysis of vegetation changes across Europe, based on the ReSurveyEurope dataset, is out! In an article led by Stephan Kambach, we analyzed 57,390 time series of vegetation plots. doi.org/10.1038/s414...
We have just published 2,474,166 records of plant species occurrences from the Czech Vegetation Database in GBIF: doi.org/10.15468/94b...
These records represent 74% of the plant occurrence data and 30% of all organism occurrence data in the GBIF database for the territory of the Czech Republic.
After publishing species occurrence data in GBIF, we have now also made available online 117,739 vegetation plots from the Czech Vegetation Database in CSV and Turboveg formats, complemented with a data processing tutorial.

Do not forget to submit your abstract to the EVS conference in Clermont-Ferrand (deadline: 15 March).
I also invite you to attend the workshop "Open vegetation data and their processing in R" on 7 Sep, the arrival day of the conference. Registration: forms.gle/eZYKiFfskR24...
