Green fields, ugly ducklings and black swans: Aesthetic dimensions of ecological science

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite its relative infancy, ecological science plays a pre‐eminent role in current environmental decision‐making globally and has, over recent decades, permeated a broad range of academic disciplines. Developments in two areas of philosophical thought in particular, environmental aesthetics and the aesthetics of science, beg an exploration ...

Mechanical performance of bio‐based fiber reinforced polymer composites: A review

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Applications of bio‐based fiber reinforced polymer composites in various sectors. Abstract Natural fiber‐reinforced polymeric composites (NFRCs) offer a sustainable solution at the intersection of environmental consciousness and materials engineering. These composites address plastic pollution and industrial material demands by utilizing natural fibers

Exploring tropical forest aboveground carbon dynamics via modelled landscapes of varied food production, past and present

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contemporary land use studies often place food production in direct conflict with tropical forests, with forest land use for human needs exiting in conflict with carbon‐related forest conservation and biodiversity protection efforts. We highlight the more nuanced, mixed activities possible in the space between primary forest and fixed, monocultures ...

Harmonizing direct and indirect anthropogenic land carbon fluxes indicates a substantial missing sink in the global carbon budget since the early 20th century

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global carbon budget provides annual updates to society on the main cause of climate change—CO2 emissions—and quantifies carbon‐uptake ecosystem services provisioned by the biosphere. We show that more consistent assumptions in the estimates of land‐atmosphere carbon exchange results in a global carbon budget that is imbalanced (gains do not equal ...

Terroir and rootstock effects on leaf shape in California Central Valley vineyards

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The innumerable effects of terroir—including climate, soil, microbial environment, biotic interactions, and cultivation practice—collectively alter plant performance and production. A more direct agricultural intervention is grafting, in which genetically distinct shoot and root genotypes are surgically combined to create a chimera that alters shoot ...

Planting and replanting: Continuity and change over four decades of forest restoration in Himachal Pradesh, India

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
India has a long history of planting trees to restore ecosystem services providing an opportunity to evaluate long‐term ecosystem restoration processes. We show that these programs have shifted over time in response to public demands as well as through changes in the government's vision for forests.

The current state of peas in the United Kingdom; diversity, heritage and food systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Landraces and traditional pea varieties hold great potential for enhancing agrobiodiversity and promoting pulse consumption, offering a rich historical and cultural resource for the UK food system. Unfortunately, many traditional pea varieties are lost, and those saved are often kept in seed banks or used only by small‐scale growers.

Trends in 170 years of Australian plant nursery production and climatic drivers indicate a coupled response to climate change

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change continues to drive global warming, understanding these impacts on plant nursery production is crucial for sustainable landscape management. Our study analysed 170 years of Australian nursery production, identifying trends in species composition and climate tolerance.
