PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Herbarium collections are powerful, yet underutilized, tools for global biodiversity conservation and protected area management. By integrating digitized herbarium records with existing biodiversity data, previously unknown plant species were uncovered, exposing critical gaps in conservation knowledge.

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.

Genetic diversity and population structure of pedunculate oaks (Quercus robur) in Wytham Woods
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Genetic diversity underpins forest resilience and adaptation, yet centuries of human activity have reshaped woodland ecosystems worldwide. We studied the population genetics of pedunculate oaks (Quercus robur) in Wytham Woods, UK, across stands with different ages and management histories.

Harnessing entomopathogenic fungi: A meta‐analysis on their role as plant growth promoters
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Our meta‐analysis highlights the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilisers. By promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on agrochemicals, EPF can support healthier crops, minimise environmental contamination and improve profitability within food production systems.

Building a more predictive model of terroir for the Anthropocene
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change and shifts in management have produced a new world of challenges for most winegrape growers, including increasing sugar levels and altered pest and weather regimes. This new world has elevated the importance of exploiting the genetic diversity of winegrapes and wild Vitis relatives.

Chloroplast genome diversity and phylogenetic insights of Saccharum spontaneum across Southeast Asia
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change and threats to global food security have increased the urgency of conserving genetic resources in key crops like sugarcane. In this study, we analyzed the chloroplast genomes of wild sugarcane to assess their genetic diversity and population structure. We found a high level of diversity, regardless of geographic location, and patterns of

Connecting the dots: Network structure as a functional trait in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Soil health and sustainable land management are critical to addressing global challenges such as food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity loss. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form underground networks that enhance plant nutrient uptake and improve soil structure, yet their functional diversity remains poorly understood, limiting their ...
