Evolution of photoperiod insensitivity drove the westward expansion of broomcorn millet
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This research highlights how ancient farming communities adapted crops to challenging environments, enabling the spread of agriculture across Eurasia. By demonstrating that broomcorn millet evolved reduced sensitivity to day‐length, the study explains how this crop could support food production in regions with short growing seasons and long summer days.

Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.

Soil Respiration in Semiarid Temperate Grasslands under Various Land Management.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Soil respiration, a major component of the global carbon cycle, is significantly influenced by land management practices. Grasslands are potentially a major sink for carbon, but can also be a source.
