Researchers have assembled one of the largest global assessment of fern diversity. The study integrated digitized herbarium data, genetic data, and climatic data and discovered 58% of fern species occur in eight principally montane hotspots that comprise only 7% of Earth’s land area. And within these hotspots, patterns of heightened diversity were amplified at higher elevations above 1000 meters.
