Afzelia africana is one of the most threatened multipurpose species in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding its potentially suitable habitats, coupled with its phenotypic and genetic diversity is valuable for establishing sustainable and efficient conservation strategies for the species. This study com…

Global Ecology and Conservation
Climate change through an increase in temperature and a reduction of rainfall constitutes a serious threat to the African savannah elephants Loxodonta africana Cuvier. Climate change can directly shrink suitable habitats of the main food resources of elephants; hence reducing their food availability…

The 21st century is marked by growing losses of biodiversity particularly in tropical regions. These losses result not only from direct anthropogenic effects but also from climate change; research must therefore consider impacts of climate change on future potential distributions of species.

African Oak (Afzelia africana Sm. ex Pers.) is a keystone species with high socio-economic importance for local populations in tropical Africa. Yet, the long-term survival of the species in its natural habitats is uncertain given a lack of natural regeneration. Although substantial research has been…

Climate change exacerbates biodiversity loss and contributes to disrupting ecosystem functioning, diminishing ecosystem services, and further endangering vulnerable populations of species. This study explores how different climate scenarios may impede the probable resilience of top-priority crop wil…

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET
Almost all life depends on plants and fungi, making knowledge of their diversity and distribution—primarily derived from biological collections—fundamental to national and international conservation, restoration and sustainable use commitments. However, it is estimated that some 15% of all plant spe…
