At the southern margin of forest steppe vegetation in Mongolia, Betula platyphylla woodlands occur on north-facing slopes and hilltops, where congeneric shrub Betula fusca often coexists. Woodland degradation results in B. fusca scrub with scattered B. platyphylla trees. We studied the structure and productivity of a B. platyphylla woodland and the current-year shoot allometry in the Hustai National Park of central Mongolia. For the B. platyphylla woodland examined, stand basal area and estimated aboveground biomass for stems ≥ 3 cm diameter were 3.9 m2 ha–1 and 13.3 Mg dry mass ha–1, respectively. Leaf area index was 0.93 indicating open canopy layer. Aboveground net primary productivity as the sum of coarse wood production and current-year shoot mass amounted to 1.89 Mg dry mass ha–1 year–1, which was high relative to small aboveground biomass. Analysis of current-year shoot allometry demonstrated that B. platyphylla had more xeromorphic shoots in the scrub, with smaller specific leaf area, lower mass ratio of leaf laminae to supporting parts, and smaller lamina mass against the sum of petiole basal area, than in the woodland. Our results indicate that current-year shoot allometry characterizes tree response to woodland degradation at the dry margin of forest steppe.

Asteraceae (sunflower) is a large and diverse family of flowering plants that include numerous economically important and ornamental species. Thorough systematics research has identified 13 subfamilies within Asteraceae. However, some taxa still lack comprehensive genomic data, which hampers the understanding of relationships between these subfamilies. This study sequenced the complete plastome of Gymnanthemum amygdalinum from Vietnam. Additionally, plastomes of 16 Asteraceae species were newly assembled using existing whole genome sequencing data from GenBank. All 17 examined Asteraceae plastomes displayed a quadripartite structure, with lengths ranging from 151,340 bp to 153,670 bp. Of these, G. amygdalinum exhibited a loss of ndhF gene and an expansion of inverted repeat regions, resulting in a smaller small-single copy region. The large single-copy regions of the 16 Asteraceae plastomes, excluding D. popayanense from Barnadesioideae subfamily, showed two inversions: one between the trnE-UUC and trnG-UCC, and another between trnE-UUC and trnC-GCA regions. Our plastome-based phylogenetic analysis of 42 Asteraceae species supported the nuclear gene-based taxonomic classification. However, discrepancies were observed in the phylogenetic relationship among certain less abundant subfamilies. The newly obtained genomic data provide novel insights into the phylogenetic relationships across species in Asteraceae.

This study presents the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Thymus seravschanicus, a medicinally important species from Central Asia. The 151,712 bp genome features a typical quadripartite structure and 114 unique genes. Comparative analysis of eight Thymus chloroplast genomes identified hotspots of nucleotide diversity, including the SSC region, ycf1 gene, and intergenic spacers, which can be exploited for phylogenetic and population genetic marker development. Phylogenomic analysis of 33 Lamiaceae species strongly supports the monophyly of major clades, including the genus Thymus. This work provides a valuable reference for molecular studies of T. seravschanicus and contributes to our understanding of chloroplast evolution in the Mint family.

It has been reported that young shoots of the Chinese fringetree (Chionanthus retusus Lindl. & Paxton), a roadside tree in Korea, deformed into cauliflower-like galls, causing stunted growth. The symptom is associated with the occurrence of an eriophyid mite belonging to the genus Aceria, which is identified as Aceria chionanthi sp. nov. This study provides descriptions and photographs of this new mite species.

The incorporation of seed dispersal models into conservation practices plays a pivotal role in predicting future ecosystems. Seed dispersal significantly influences plant population dynamics; however, our understanding of its implications at a landscape scale remains limited. We investigated how different seed dispersal processes impact the distributions of individual species within a 20 km × 20 km plot centered around a temperate old-growth forest reserve in Japan. We hypothesized that random variation in seed dispersal (i.e., stochastic processes) and variation mediated by distance (i.e., deterministic processes) would explain landscape-scale species distributions more effectively than deterministic seed dispersal processes alone. We evaluated 16 tree species with different seed dispersal modes by simulating seed dispersal processes. Stochastic simulations predicted higher dispersal distances for the majority of species. The findings of this study suggest that stochastic simulations are a more reliable tool for identifying dispersal restrictions in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss, highlighting the significance of using stochastic simulations for analyzing seed dispersal patterns in temperate forests, rather than more conventional deterministic methods.
将种子扩散模型纳入保护实践对预测未来的生态系统起着至关重要的作用。种子扩散对植物种群动态有重大影响;然而,我们对其在景观尺度上的影响的了解仍然有限。我们研究了在以日本温带原始森林保护区为中心的 20 km × 20 km 小区内,不同的种子扩散过程如何影响单个物种的分布。我们假设,种子扩散的随机变化(即随机过程)和以距离为中介的变化(即确定性过程)将比单独的确定性种子扩散过程更有效地解释景观尺度的物种分布。我们通过模拟种子扩散过程,对 16 种具有不同种子扩散模式的树种进行了评估。随机模拟结果表明,大多数树种的扩散距离较长。这项研究的结果表明,随机模拟是在气候变化和生物多样性丧失的背景下识别扩散限制的一种更可靠的工具,突出了使用随机模拟分析温带森林中种子扩散模式而不是更传统的确定性方法的重要性。
