Figure 1 in Ranheim Sveen et al. (2025): "Study design. Distribution of (a) sites across a national successional gradient in Sweden, based on (b) a paired grassland and forest sites comprising (c) managed, recently abandoned, and late successional grasslands together with fully afforested reference sites representing the successional endpoint. Soil samples were gathered in the field and sequenced with (d) amplicon and shotgun metagenomics to yield taxonomic and functional microbial community profiles, with the hypothesis that these would change (e) linearly, unimodally, or with threshold responses to succession. Note that the trends are shown as positive, i.e., with increasing diversity here, but may also be negative."

Kilimanjaro has lost 75 percent of its natural plant species over the last century
A new study suggests that, between 1911 and 2022, land-use change was the primary direct cause of the loss of 75% of natural plant species on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Andreas Hemp of the University of Bayreuth, Germany, and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One on October 29, 2025.
