Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1517-1532, September 2026.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Open letter: The need for a site‐based biodiversity standard measuring and certifying impacts from nature‐based projects

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1394-1402, September 2026.
Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature.

Assessment on Available Livestock Feed Resources and Feeding System in Korahey Zone, Somali Region, Ethiopia

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Livestock feeding in the Korahey Zone, Somali Region, Ethiopia, is predominantly based on free grazing of natural pasture (75%), with camels and goats being the dominant livestock species. The annual feed supply from natural pasture (2196 tDM) satisfies only 54.6% of the livestock dry matter requirement (4023.68 tDM), resulting in a substantial ...

The institutional paradox of a substantivist conception of the economy in public policy: Insights from public procurement for solidarity economy in Ecuador

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 871-900, September 2026.
Abstract Ecuador's 2008 Constitution advanced an ambitious substantive economic vision through Buen Vivir (Good Living), recognizing a plural economy which encompasses private, public and solidarity economy (SE) sectors. This paper aims to analyze public procurement programs in Ecuador, one of the flagship Buen Vivir policies for SE promotion.

Persistent Instability in Policy Debates: The Three‐Body Problem of Trade, Agriculture and the Environment

open access: yesJCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 1715-1750, September 2026.
Abstract Literature on policy debates often analyses cases involving either a single or two policy fields, which typically result in stable equilibria, manifesting either as outright rejection of policy proposals, successful institutional change or the entrenchment of divisions into a deadlock.

Opening the black box: in situ imaging of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal structures in soil using synchrotron‐based micro‐CT

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3687-3702, September 2026.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) contribute to plant nutrient and water uptake via their extraradical hyphal networks. However, in situ methodologies to quantify architectural and morphological traits of these networks in soil are largely lacking, limiting our understanding of AMF‐mediated resource transport.

Integrating Multiple Approaches to Reveal the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Soil Erosion in Mollisol Watershed

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10355-10370, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Although numerous prediction methods have been developed, scientific estimation of the spatiotemporal pattern of soil erosion at the watershed scale remains challenging. In this study, fallout radionuclides of 210Pbex and 137Cs were used to estimate average annual soil erosion and deposition in a Mollisol watershed in Northeast China ...

Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security: Land Management–Based Strategies Within a Nature‐Based Solutions Framework

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9155-9189, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses serious threats to food security by affecting agricultural production processes in multiple ways. This study aims to analyze land management–based solution strategies that can be developed in response to this threat and presents a systematic and holistic framework through the relationship these strategies establish with ...
