Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Assessment of heat-related health impacts in Brisbane, Australia: comparison of different heatwave definitions.

, 2010
BACKGROUND: There is no global definition of a heatwave because local acclimatisation and adaptation influence the impact of extreme heat. Even at a local level there can be multiple heatwave definitions, based on varying temperature levels or time ...

Loss of zinc from zinc‐biofortified rice and conventional rice varieties due to various cooking techniques practiced in rural Bangladesh

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Zinc‐biofortified rice has the potential to provide a sustainable solution for zinc deficiency, particularly in Asian countries where rice is the primary staple food. However, cooking of raw rice is associated with some loss of micronutrients, including zinc.

Soil Moisture Feedback Amplified the Earlier Onset of the Record‐Breaking Three‐Day Consecutive Heatwave in 2023 in North China

Earth's Future
A record‐breaking heatwave swept North China in the summer of 2023, with a regional average of daily maximum temperature exceeding 35°C on June 23, which was the hottest day since 1959. We use the dynamical adjustment approach to assess the contributions

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented
