Plants are endangered too!
To celebrate Endangered Species Day (May 20, 2016), the British Ecological
Society has compiled a virtual issue of the Journal of Ecology on
endangered species. The full text of recent studies - many of them on
native plants - will be available available for *free!* for 3 months.

Access the virtual issue here:

*A little blurb about those studies focused on plants*:
Journal of Ecology papers are strongly represented, showing that endangered
species day is about more than just lions and tigers!
The papers from Journal of Ecology cover subjects such as the effect of
civil war on African savannah tree species; the risks posed by elephant
decline to an Asian fruiting tree species and the threat to large native
trees posed by large scale agriculture in Costa Rica.
We also highlight a recent Biological Flora of the British Isles account on
ash, a comprehensive monograph warning of the duel threat to the species
from ash dieback and the emerald ash borer beetle.
But it’s not all bad news – the open source COMPADRE database of plant
population matrix models is an important research tool for plant ecology
and evolution research and could help provide novel insights into
endangered plant species and our recent study of Hawaiian forest
communities provides important conservation and management messages.
