Metabolite Screening From Pinus pinea Needles Reveals (+)‐Isocupressic Acid as a Key Phytotoxin for Weed Management

open access: yesPhytochemical Analysis, EarlyView.
This study explores the phytotoxicity of Pinus pinea needle extracts and metabolites to evaluate their potential for controlling dicotyledonous weeds. A strategy based on GC–MS, NMR, and optical methods revealed an array of aromatic compounds which are of crucial interest for phytochemical research. Hence, a bio‐guided purification led to the isolation

Sharing the light, impact of solar parks on plant productivity, soil microbes and soil organic matter

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Solar parks enable renewable energy production at a large scale, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the effects of this change in land use on vegetation and soil health are still largely unknown. In this study, we determined the impacts of solar parks on vegetation, soil biota and soil carbon between and below solar panels.

How safe are peat‐free growing media? An exploration of plant pathogen risks to the horticultural industry and recommendations for risk mitigation

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The UK's horticultural industry is shifting from reliance on unsustainable peat‐based growing media to products that contain alternative constituents, including coir, bark, wood fibre and composted green waste. Some peat‐alternatives carry an elevated risk of harbouring plant pathogens, including the potential to introduce novel pathogens from overseas,
