National Horizon Scanning for Future Crops Under a Changing UK Climate

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2025.
One potential option for agricultural adaptation to climate change is to identify alternative crops better suited to changing local climates. We present a national‐scale horizon‐scan of climatic suitability across over 160 crops for the UK. Climate change may bring opportunities for UK cropping systems.

Heatwaves Suppress Isoprene Emission Optima in Subtropical Eucalyptus: Implications for Biogenic VOC Modeling Under Extreme Thermal Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Isoprene emissions from tropical plants under moderate conditions are more temperature‐sensitive than temperate plants and current model predictions. However, the effect of extreme heatwaves on this sensitivity remains uncertain. Here, we present controlled measurements of isoprene temperature responses for a subtropical eucalyptus species ...

Nitrogen losses mitigated with maize–legume intercropping in the Yucatan Peninsula

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract In recent years, nitrate leaching and environmental impacts from agriculture have become global issues, due in part to the increased use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in agriculture. In the Yucatan Peninsula, intercropping is a traditional farming practice known as the “Milpa” system (i.e., a traditional farming practice characterized by the ...
