Description
Feng Song leads a team of eleven authors in a 2025 paper that builds a DNA barcode reference library for native seed plants in the drylands of China. Drylands cover a huge share of the land and face a high risk of turning to desert, yet their plant life is still poorly studied.
From 2013 to 2021, the team surveyed plant diversity across nearly all of those dry regions. They logged more than a thousand species across many genera and families. The library built from that work gives a traceable base for fast species identification, surveys, and conservation in dry country.
