In South America, 60% of the original TDF ecosystem coverage has disappeared and in Colombia only 8% of its original cover stands. Remaining forest patches are very fragmented, immersed in landscapes dominated by crops and pasture. Ecosystem restoration is considered a global priority to contribu...

Tree-based restoration of the floristic and genetic diversity of tropical dry forest
Background
Humans threat the populations of tree species by overexploitation, deforestation, land use change, and climate change. We present a novel threat assessment at intraspecific level to support the conservation of genetic resources of 80 socioeconomically viable tree species in South Ameri...

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) are one of the most degraded vegetation types worldwide and in Colombia<10% of the original cover remains. This calls for urgent conservation measures and restoration efforts. Understanding the genetic diversity and structure of tree species is crucial to i...

Crop wild relatives (CWRs) of rice hold important traits that can contribute to enhancing the ability of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa and O. glaberrima) to produce higher yields, cope with the effects of climate change, and resist attacks of pests and diseases, among others. However, the genetic...
