The fossil record tells conflicting stories about what happened to flowering plants after the asteroid.
Native common wildflowers provide large amounts of pollen and nectar for insects – but many are undervalued by the public.
The arrangement of leaves on most plants follows a mathematical pattern – new research sheds light on how it evolved.
Why plants’ oscillating genes matter for humans.
Take a moment to consider the natural beauty of mosses – and their history as some of the most intrepid explorers in Earth’s history.
Why we need to pay more attention to these minute flowers and how they survive in some of the harshest places in the world.
