Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The findings of this study indicate that powdery mildew control achieved with the pneumatic solid set canopy delivery system (PSD‐SSCDS) was comparable with that of a conventional airblast sprayer. These results highlight the PSD‐SSCDS as a promising alternative spray technology. Abstract BACKGROUND In this study, a previously optimized pneumatic spray

Climate change‐driven expansion of goosegrass highlights risks to global food production
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Climate change is expanding the climatic suitability of Eleusine indica into temperate agricultural regions, increasing its overlap with major soybean and maize production areas. These findings highlight a growing global threat to food security and the need for proactive weed management strategies.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...
