The Invisible Biodiversity Crisis: Global Study Reveals "Dark Diversity" of Plants
Brno and Průhonice, 10. 04. 2025 – According to a new study by a team of more than 200 botanists from around the world, published in the prestigious journal Nature, the vegetation of natural areas is often impoverished by the absence of many plant species that could potentially thrive there. This phenomenon is particularly evident in regions heavily influenced by human activity. Czech scientists also contributed to the extensive research, helping to develop the study’s methodological framework and collecting data from several regions in Bohemia and Moravia.
