Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

Prioritizing Invasive Species Threats Under Uncertainty [PDF]
Prioritizing exotic or invasive pest threats in terms of agricultural, environmental, or human health damages is an important resource allocation issue for programs charged with preventing or responding to the entry of such organisms.

Wheat - black-grass competition is a non-zero-sum game influenced by root growth
ABSTRACTInteractions with neighbouring plants have profound effects on plant growth, especially in crop-weed interactions, which can cause major crop-losses in agricultural systems. Black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) is the most problematic weed for UK agriculture, causing dramatic yield losses in winter wheat, but the basis of its competitive ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Genotype and cropping system influenced oilseed rape ecophysiological traits, including glucosinolate compounds (glucoraphanin, glucobrassicanapin, and butyl‐glucosinolates) and biomass, which were linked to Psylliodes chrysocephala larval infestation, with varietal effects stronger than faba bean companion planting.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Physically consistent mesoscale model evaluation in complex terrain
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel approach for evaluating mesoscale atmospheric models in complex terrain by selecting physically consistent grid points and applying height‐based corrections. The method corrects for sensor height and terrain elevation differences between model and observations using a time‐varying lapse rate.
