Integrating indigenous crops in agroforestry systems: Lesser yam and teak mixed systems are more profitable than monocultures in Indonesia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1662-1674, September 2026.
Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Biochar Production From Invasive Alien Plants: A Pathway to Sustainable Biomass Management and Resource Recovery

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Across the world, invasive alien plants (IAPs) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and livelihoods. A potentially sustainable method for controlling IAPs is to convert their biomass into biochar, which reduces invasion pressure while producing useful products.

Modelling growth and productivity of Yams (Dioscorea Spp): Prospects and problems

Agricultural Systems, 1991
Abstract This methodological paper recommends a modelling approach to achieve a greater understanding of the physiology of yield in yams (Dioscorea spp.), and of the influence of various ecological, biotic and planter-induced factors on the yield. Such a model would also permit the prediction of yield under various conditions, and would be a tool in ...

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus
