Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1449-1456, September 2026.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Exploring the associations of generalized trust, climate change conspiracy beliefs and freecycling: Empirical evidence from 34 cultures

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue S1, Page S201-S223, September 2026.
Abstract This study examined the relationships between generalized trust, climate change conspiracy beliefs and freecycling – a community‐based free‐item sharing pro‐environmental behaviour. It also explored the role of societal factors in relation to participation in freecycling, as well as how they are associated with these relationships.

Tree metrics and log‐concavity for matroids

Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 133, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract We show that a set function ν$\nu$ satisfies the gross substitutes property if and only if its homogeneous generating polynomial Zq,ν$Z_{q,\nu }$ is a Lorentzian polynomial for all positive q⩽1$q \leqslant 1$, answering a question of Eur–Huh.

Metric properties of partial and robust Gromov-Wasserstein distances

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
The Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distances define a family of metrics, based on ideas from optimal transport, which enable comparisons between probability measures defined on distinct metric spaces.

Abstract Biodiversity is declining globally while inequity is growing, and poverty rates are not improving. Global sustainable development and conservation initiatives aim to address biodiversity loss and poverty simultaneously. Through text analysis of global biodiversity policies, we identified a consistent narrative that countries with high ...
