🌿 How to Rescue #Botany in the 21st Century? 🌿
Public awareness of the #plant #biodiversity crisis is low & hinders conservation efforts 🛑
Our authors show how #CitizenScience & apps can be used to boost engagement🤳

Papers are not our children, thus I can freely assume that this one published in @npjbiodiversity is my favourite: Rescuing Botany: using citizen-science and mobile apps in the classroom and beyond nature.com/articles/s44185-0… #botany #biodiversity #biodiversitycrisis

But... what about improving plant diversity on them throughout more friendly management practises? Our students of Plant ecology found that reducing mowing and avoiding watering may increase diversity in @ULisboa_ lawns.

Sabíamos já que os animais se adaptam e evoluem em ambientes urbanos. Será que as plantas têm a mesma estratégia?
Os primeiros resultados deste projecto, que juntou 287 cientistas de 160 cidades, mostram que sim.

Primeiros resultados! O relvado da Torre do Tombo (TT) resultado de sementeira biodiversa, sem rega e cortes reduzidos, destaca-se tanto em riqueza total como em diversidade de flora. Os relvados de gestão tradicional (rega e cortes regulares) do C8 e da Reitoria não apresentaram
