Studies that examine the role of plants in cultural practices and their economic significance, including traditional uses and modern applications.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Climate Change on Plant Systems:
An increasing number of studies are addressing how climate change affects plant physiology, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, highlighting the urgency of understanding these impacts. - Bioremediation and Pollution Management:
Research on the use of plants for bioremediation of contaminated environments is gaining traction, reflecting a broader interest in sustainable environmental management. - Ecological Restoration and Conservation Strategies:
There is a growing emphasis on restoration ecology, with studies focusing on strategies to restore degraded ecosystems and conserve biodiversity. - Plant-Microbe Interactions:
Emerging research on the interactions between plants and microbes, including their roles in plant health and resilience under stress conditions. - Utilization of Native and Invasive Species:
Increasing attention is being paid to both native and invasive species for their ecological roles and potential uses in agriculture and horticulture.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Medicinal Plants:
Research on the use and conservation of traditional medicinal plants has decreased, possibly due to a shift towards more empirical studies and modern agricultural practices. - Classical Taxonomy:
Studies focused solely on classical taxonomic work are less frequent, indicating a movement towards integrative approaches that combine molecular techniques with traditional methods. - In-depth Studies on Local Flora:
While local flora studies are still relevant, there is a noticeable decline in papers solely focused on local species without broader ecological or conservation implications.
