Expert perceptions regarding the effectiveness and feasibility of nature‐based solutions for climate change adaptation in a large Mediterranean Basin

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Floods and droughts are becoming increasingly frequent and intense in the Mediterranean region. Nature‐based solutions (NBS) are being put forward as cost‐effective solutions for climate change adaptation to reduce the impacts of floods and droughts and provide multiple other benefits and ecosystem services.

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

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

open access: yesPLANTS, 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,

Help from the past to cope with the future: Vitis sylvestris as a resource for abiotic stress resilience

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Viticulture is facing increasing challenges due to climate change. The focus on fast growth and sweet berries has come at the expense of stress resilience. Grafting onto Phylloxera‐resistant rootstocks from American species has been the most successful form of ecological pest management.
