conservation
Conservation in plant science focuses on protecting plant species, their habitats, and the ecological interactions that support them from extinction and degradation. This work is essential for maintaining the genetic and species diversity that underpins global food systems, medicines, and ecosystem services. As plants form the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems and face accelerating threats from habitat loss and climate change, conservation research provides critical strategies for preserving biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
