Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

Farmer's perceptions of Eco-friendly nets adapted to vegetable production in Benin [PDF]

, 2012
City food supplies are a rising concern for food security in an urbanizing context as productivity and yields are expected to increase to meet the growing needs of urban dwellers. Domestic food supplies will not only require increased food production but

Increasing leaf hydraulic conductance with transpiration rate minimizes the water potential drawdown from stem to leaf. [PDF]

, 2014
Leaf hydraulic conductance (k leaf) is a central element in the regulation of leaf water balance but the properties of k leaf remain uncertain. Here, the evidence for the following two models for k leaf in well-hydrated plants is evaluated: (i) k leaf is

Challenges facing the management of pesticide resistance in weeds, diseases and insect pests in European agriculture and the future of effective IPM implementation

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Opinion on pesticide resistance and management in the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) is presented cognisant of changes in regulation that impact on mode of action availability and cropping system choice. Abstract In recent times, pesticide resistance has been managed reasonably effectively, either proactively or reactively, by monitoring ...

Spectral characterization of plant diversity in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
How well can airborne imaging spectroscopy detect plant diversity in vertically complex agroforestry systems? We tested this in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, using high‐resolution hyperspectral data. We calculated spectral alpha and beta diversity and compared them to field‐based plant diversity.

Mercury Accumulation is Related to the Leaf Economics Spectrum

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution
Abstract Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic metal with a complex biogeochemistry and the principles governing Hg uptake in different types of vegetation represent a knowledge gap. By combining published information from three sources with new data we investigated the rate of Hg accumulation in a wide range of leaf types from broadleaved ...

Climate‐Resilient Crop Production Under Agrivoltaics: Experimental Evaluation of Amaranth Production With Semi‐Transparent Photovoltaic Modules in Canada Under Changing Climates

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change threatens global food security, requiring climate‐smart systems that enhance both crop resilience and sustainable energy production. While agrivoltaics is recognized for combining solar power generation with agriculture, its effects on emerging stress‐tolerant crops such as amaranth remain largely unexplored, particularly under ...

Sectoral Evolution and Structural Transformation in Djibouti: A Multivariate and Regularized Regression Analysis Toward Achieving SDG 9

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Djibouti's economic evolution over the past two decades reveals a distinct dual structure: a steadily expanding service sector that anchors the economy and a volatile industrial sector driven by episodic, foreign‐financed infrastructure projects.
