The Application of Carbon Dots in Crops for Sustainable Agriculture

open access: yesChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2026.
Carbon dots serve as versatile nanoagents across the crop life cycle. They promote plant growth and photosynthesis, enhance resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses, aid in postharvest preservation, and enable sensitive detection of contaminants.

Agrestal Environments and Maternal Genetic Effects Weaken the Ecological Barriers for Crop to Wild Introgression in Sunflower

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We highlight how agrestal environments and maternal effects may facilitate the adaptation of crop‐wild hybrid sunflower to agroecosystems. We present two consecutive years of data on diverse wild and reciprocal crop‐wild hybrid sunflower populations planted in three contrasting, ruderal or agrestal, environments. We found that (i) agrestal environments

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Losers and winners: responses of grassland arthropods to land‐use components

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Intensified land‐use in grasslands reduces biodiversity, particularly affecting arthropod populations. However, responses of individual species vary depending on their ecological traits and habitat requirements. Some species may tolerate or even benefit from intensive land‐use, while others, particularly specialists or those with narrow niches, are ...

Initial Exploration of Canola Producers' Approaches in Response to Changing Climate in the Canadian Prairie Provinces

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, the Prairie Provinces of Canada, lead national oilseed cultivation. Canola is a staple crop that provides food oil and feedstock for biofuels. Canola production is vulnerable to climate variability, and climate change has altered crop cycles and affected Canadian canola producers.

Participatory Ecological Assessment of Farmer Perspectives on Management of Invasive Ageratina adenophora in Eastern Bhutan

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Ageratina adenophora's invasion across Bhutan threatens biodiversity and crop yields. This study quantifies farmers' experiential knowledge through participatory methods, revealing key concerns: aggressive spread, ecological harm, and preferred control strategies.
