Climate change impacts on global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production: A comprehensive meta‐analysis of stressors, risks, and adaptation strategies

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Climate change is exerting profound and multidimensional pressures on global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Rising temperatures, higher vapor pressure deficit, and more frequent heatwaves reduce yields through strong, phenology‐dependent effects, with flowering and grain filling identified as the most vulnerable stages. Compound heat–

Effects of Common Mycorrhizal Networks and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Ascochyta Blight in Chickpea

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea) is susceptible to Ascochyta blight (AB). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotic root colonizing fungi that exchange soil nutrients for photosynthetic carbon. AMF form common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs), connecting plant roots and transferring nutrients.

The Global South's OCBIL Theory Helps Elucidate Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation in Biological and Cultural Diversity

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ecological theory has been shaped disproportionately by studies conducted in young, disturbance‐prone, relatively fertile landscapes (YODFELs), mostly in the Global North. Yet, many megadiverse regions in the Global South are dominated by old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (OCBILs), resulting in fundamentally different patterns that ...

Range‐wide sampling reveals cryptic lineages but largely conserved mycorrhizal associations in the Japanese fairy lantern Thismia kobensis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1407-1418, September 2026.
The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.

Crop genotypic richness enhances biomass production and phosphorus acquisition in maize‐mycorrhiza symbiosis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1702-1714, September 2026.
Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested their response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal responsiveness differed significantly by maize variety, and genetic mixtures outperformed ...

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1449-1456, September 2026.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Glomus iranicum var. Tenuihypharum as a Biofertilizer Modulates Soil Microbial Community Composition and Enhances Soil Carbon Dynamics in Nectarine Cultivation

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of biofertilization strategies based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represents a promising approach to enhance crop productivity and soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of conventional fertilization. This study evaluated the effects of Glomus iranicum var.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Can Increase Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Aerobically Grown Rice Under Water‐Limited Conditions

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice is a vital staple crop for more than half of the global population, but water limitations threaten its production under flooded conditions. A transition to aerobic production of rice would ease water limitations but may increase nutrient management issues. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi could help by boosting nutrient and water uptake,

Characterizing How Community‐Level Plant Functional Traits Impact Soil Microbial Diversity

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Functional trait‐based approaches have been suggested for designing functionally diverse plant communities to influence soil microbial community structure and diversity. However, it remains unclear how species‐level plant functional traits (PFTs) and microbial associations translate to community‐level functional trait and soil ...
