Commercial Cultivation of Edible Halophytes: The Issue of Oxalates and Potential Mitigation Options
AgronomySaline agriculture, including the commercial cultivation of edible halophytes, is expanding rapidly to address the increase in salinised soil due to natural and man-made causes, the decline in availability of fresh water, the increased use of poor ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc

A recipe for recovery: diet as a decisive tool in species conservation
Oikos, EarlyView.Animals consume foods in specific quantities and ratios to meet a multi‐dimensional nutrient target that maximizes their fitness. Attempts to reach this target in an ever‐changing nutritional landscape often influence animal foraging behavior, habitat choice, and food‐web interactions. Consequently, understanding the nutritional ecology of a species is

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.
