National Horizon Scanning for Future Crops Under a Changing UK Climate
One potential option for agricultural adaptation to climate change is to identify alternative crops better suited to changing local climates. We present a national‐scale horizon‐scan of climatic suitability across over 160 crops for the UK. Climate change may bring opportunities for UK cropping systems.

Climate‐Mediated Hybridisation and the Future of Andean Forests
ABSTRACT The tropical Andes face unprecedented warming and shifting precipitation patterns due to climate change and land‐use alteration, challenging the future of Andean forests. During the Quaternary, many Andean trees responded to climate change through upslope migrations but, while there is evidence of such ongoing migrations in many species, they ...

ABSTRACT This paper presents a unique set of maps and geospatial data covering 16 ancient terrace agricultural systems in the upper part of the Río Grande de Nasca drainage. These systems are located on the western Andean flank (1200 and 3800 m asl), in the districts of Llauta, Laramate, and Ocaña in Lucanas province, Ayacucho region, southern Peru (14.

The development of isotopic baselines for comparison with paleodietary data is crucial, but often overlooked. We review the factors affecting the carbon (δ(13)C) and nitrogen (δ(15)N) isotopic compositions of plants, with a special focus on the carbon ...

Plant‐based protein crops and their improvement: Current status and future perspectives
Abstract The plant‐based protein industry is rapidly growing and is projected to grow to over $27 billion by 2030. In addition to monetary benefits, plant‐based protein crops, particularly pulse crops (i.e., legume species with dry edible seed), can supplement the existing crop biodiversity and break the disease and insect pest cycle in drastically ...

ABSTRACT Drylands, encompassing 41% of global land and supporting over 2 billion people, face significant challenges, including water scarcity, extreme temperatures, and soil degradation. Dryland spans vast areas of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Sub‐Sahara Africa (SSA) regions and poses a threat to food security and resilience.
