Premise: Salt tolerance has rarely been investigated regionally in the neotropics and even more rarely in Orchidaceae, one of the largest families. Therefore, investigating local adaptation to salt spray and its physiological basis in Epidendrum fulgens, a neotropical orchid species, brings important new insights.
Methods: We assessed the degree of salt tolerance in E.
Article Synopsis
- In 2012, the IUCN initiated the development of the "Green Status of Species" to assess species recovery and the impact of conservation efforts.
- The Green Status framework includes a method to evaluate species recovery, featuring metrics like conservation legacy and recovery potential, tested on 181 diverse species.
- Findings showed that 59% of species were largely or critically depleted, highlighting that recovery status differs from extinction risk, and indicating the effectiveness of conservation efforts on the majority of species tested.
