Entangled Foodways and Livelihood Pathways: Cinnamon, State Interventions, and Everyday Life in Hmong Communities of Northern Vietnam

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agroecological practices of ethnic minority farmers in Vietnam's northern uplands are being reshaped by intersecting pressures of land‐use reform, market integration, and state‐backed crop promotion. Among Hmong communities in the south of Lào Cai Province (former Yên Bái Province) cinnamon was once valued primarily for its medicinal ...

Regenerative Supply Chains: A Knowledge Polycentrism View

Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The field of regenerative supply chains investigates how companies collaboratively preserve, restore and enhance the social and natural capital from which they procure. However, this field has still not addressed a fundamental question: How do supply chain managers organize the complex knowledge that underpins regeneration? The authors advance

Assessing the efficacy of natural soil biotin on soil quality, microbial diversity, and Rhododendron simsii growth for sustainable landscape architecture

Frontiers in Microbiology
Fertilization significantly influences soil quality and its sustainable use in urban garden maintenance. The widespread application of inorganic fertilizers has raised ecological concerns due to their potential environmental impacts. Organic fertilizers,

Ancestral Irrigation and Women's Political Empowerment

Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the hypothesis and establishes empirically that the adoption of irrigation agriculture during the preindustrial period is a predictor of contemporary cross‐country variation in women's political empowerment. Countries whose populations historically relied on irrigation agriculture as their primary subsistence mode tend to ...

Vascular plant diversity in Swedish road verges of high conservation value is threatened by the invasive alien herb Lupinus polyphyllus Lindley

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Road verges can be important habitats for vascular plant communities and the organisms that, in turn, depend on them. However, the plant diversity in Swedish road verges is threatened by the invasive perennial plant Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of L.

An atlas of plant selenium metabolism

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Selenium (Se) is not only a rare and toxic element but also an essential micronutrient for humans and animals that is often in short supply. Terrestrial plants do not require Se, but it can have growth‐promoting or negative effects, depending on the exposure level.

Introgression despite minimal hybridization: mating system modulates phenotypic associations with introgression in Clarkia

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Secondary contact between incipient species provides the opportunity to understand how trait divergence restricts gene flow. While mating system transitions are particularly common and involve a suite of phenotypic changes, the extent to which these changes influence gene flow during speciation is poorly understood.

In Vivo Propagation of Root Explants of the Dandelion Species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz, Taraxacum officinale and Their Interspecific Hybrids

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.
