Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Governance and infrastructure as pillars of performance: A socio‐ecological analysis of Ethiopian botanical gardens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
While botanical gardens are often perceived merely as recreational spaces for a weekend walk, in the Global South, they are true lifelines for nature and for the people who depend on it. Our research in Ethiopia explored what actually keeps these gardens running long‐term.

Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

Interactive effects of microplastics and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on grassland communities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grassland plant communities contribute significantly to global biodiversity but face numerous man‐made pressures which may interfere with their ecological functions. One such pressure receiving increasing scientific, political, and public attention is microplastic pollution.
