Woodland degradation results in <em>B. fusca</em> scrub with scattered <em>B. platyphylla</em> trees. We studied the structure and productivity of a <em>B. platyphylla</em> woodland and the current-year shoot allometry in the Hustai National Park of central Mongolia. For the <em>B. platyphylla</em> woodland examined, stand basal area and estimated aboveground biomass for stems ≥ 3 cm diameter were 3.9 m<sup>2</sup> ha<sup>–1</sup> and 13.3 Mg dry mass ha<sup>–1</sup>, 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<sup>–1</sup> year<sup>–1</sup>, which was high relative to small aboveground biomass. Analysis of current-year shoot allometry demonstrated that <em>B. platyphylla</em> 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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"18 1","pages":"Pages 125-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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 <em>Gymnanthemum amygdalinum</em> 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, <em>G. amygdalinum</em> exhibited a loss of <em>ndhF</em> 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 <em>D. popayanense</em> from Barnadesioideae subfamily, showed two inversions: one between the <em>trnE-UUC</em> and <em>trnG-UCC</em>, and another between <em>trnE-UUC</em> and <em>trnC-GCA</em> 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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"17 4","pages":"Pages 820-826"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142703792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"17 4","pages":"Pages 800-806"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142704888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
