Grassy trees: the neglected hybrids for sustainability.
Grassy trees - large forest-adapted monocots such as bamboo, palm, and bananas - combine grass-like rapid growth with tree-like canopy dominance. Their ambiguous status between woody and herbaceous plants has led to research neglect. Recognizing them as a distinct growth form is key to harnessing their potential as nature-based solutions for sustainability.
期刊介绍:
