A future in which scientific discoveries are valued and trusted by the general public cannot be achieved without greater inclusion and participation of diverse communities. To envision a path towards this future, in January 2019 a diverse group of researchers, educators, students, and administrators gathered to hear and share personal perspectives on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the plant sciences. From these broad perspectives, the group developed strategies and identified tactics to facilitate and support EDI within and beyond the plant science community.

- Forest fragmentation can harm plants by lowering genetic diversity and disrupting reproductive processes, but some tree species may cope with these issues through their reproductive mechanisms.
- A study focused on L. (eastern redbud) in Georgia-Tennessee found high genetic diversity (0.63) and moderate differentiation (0.14) among populations, suggesting that they can maintain genetic variation even in fragmented habitats.
- The research highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of habitat fragmentation effects on gene flow and offers valuable insights for habitat management and breeding programs.
