A joint study by the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Guangxi Institute of Botany found that karst sinkholes can provide microenvironmental shelter for the endangered plant fragrant magnolia, but also limit gene flow between populations, leading to a decrease in genetic diversity and accumulation of harmful mutations, weakening its potential to cope with future environmental changes. The relevant results were published in the international academic journal “Contemporary Biology” on the 14th.
