When #newspecies, such as #Acer #wenshanense (#Sapindaceae) in this instance, are classified as "critically #endangered," or, as the authors J. S. Chen et al. (2026) term them, "Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations" (#PSESP), it clearly illustrates the #challenges #taxonomists face. #Biodiversity research, which is particularly vital in the context of #globalwarming, as it allows us to understand the nature of the environment we aim to protect and, consequently, how to protect it effectively, frequently leads to the discovery of species that are, for all practical purposes, #nearlyextinct. In such cases, one might almost say that we have arrived too late. The inherent #dynamics of our biodiversity are, even in the absence of climate-related threats, already highly volatile. As a result, it is often unavoidable that #environmentalconservation models are based primarily on more common and well-documented species and their ecological contexts. Acer wenshanense by the way is (so far) represented by only one single large #tree in its Chinese #typelocality. © #StefanFWirth, November 2026, Berlin
