Past, present and future of local crop evolution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Illegal gold mining has emerged as a major sustainability threat in the Amazon, eroding Indigenous rights, forest integrity, and climate mitigation efforts. This study examines how international market incentives relate to the expansion of illegal mining and associated deforestation within the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (YIT) from 2008 to ...

Optimizing the water-ecosystem-food nexus using nature-based solutions at the basin scale
Frontiers in WaterThe water ecosystem food (WEF) nexus duly acknowledges the complex interdependencies among water, ecosystems, and food production, underscoring nature based solutions (NBS) as an efficacious strategy for navigating these interconnections.

Exploring Interactive Effects of Arsenic and Selenium Exposure on Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Arsenic contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a major environmental concern. Selenium (Se) helps mitigate oxidative stress and hence could reduce the toxic effects of arsenic. However, Se can also be toxic at high concentrations. Given that these metalloids commonly co‐occur in the environment, there is a pressing need for further research ...

A Low‐Power Radioisotope XRF Spectrometer for Detection of Light Elements on Planetary Missions
X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Current X‐ray spectrometers for in situ geochemical analysis on planetary missions typically rely either on X‐ray tubes, which demand electrical power and add mass and thermal complexity, or on alpha particle X‐ray spectrometers (APXS) that use rare 244Cm$$ {}^{244}\mathrm{Cm} $$ sources, and come with severe concerns on radiation safety and ...
