PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Forest plantations play an increasingly important role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration, yet management strategies that enhance long‐term ecosystem carbon storage remain insufficiently understood. We investigated the effects of more than a decade of close‐to‐nature management on community structure and ecosystem carbon storage ...

Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Iron (Fe) deficiency limits the physical health, cognitive development, and economic output of billions of people globally, especially children and productive‐age women. Tef is an underutilized and stress‐resilient crop, which is becoming popular for its grains containing high bioavailable Fe and has the potential to mitigate Fe deficiency.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

When alien plants become health hazards: An applied study on toxic and allergenic risks in Italy
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Alien plants are often studied for their ecological harm, but their risks to human and animal health remain poorly documented. This study provides the first comprehensive catalogue of poisonous and allergenic alien plants in Italy, identifying which species are dangerous, where they grow and who is most at risk—from children in city parks to pets and ...

Leaf length and hydraulic resistance: crucial factors for conifers dealing with dry conditions
Hydraulic resistance plays a critical role in determining leaf morphology in response to environmental conditions. In the leaves of angiosperms, tip-to-base xylem conduit widening has proven to be quite high, scaling with path length with a power of ~0 ...
