Sharing the light, impact of solar parks on plant productivity, soil microbes and soil organic matter

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Solar parks enable renewable energy production at a large scale, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the effects of this change in land use on vegetation and soil health are still largely unknown. In this study, we determined the impacts of solar parks on vegetation, soil biota and soil carbon between and below solar panels.

Could large‐scale silicon supplementation of crop‐lands mitigate the impacts of climate change?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Intervention strategies that involve supplementing crop‐lands with silicon have significant scope for carbon capture and drought mitigation, offering wide‐ranging societal impacts. These include contributing to decarbonisation goals, enhancing food security, providing economic benefits and reducing environmental damage associated with intensive ...

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

Wheat breeding approaches for designing wheat to thrive in a warmer world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wheat is a vital food crop, accounting for approximately 20% of daily calories and protein consumed worldwide. However, modern‐day wheat is under pressure from global change. The improvement rate of wheat yields is not keeping up with the demand of our growing population. Furthermore, abiotic and biotic stressors are becoming more prevalent. This paper

A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.
