Oikos, EarlyView.Plant traits and their tradeoffs are major determinants of plant functions. Although trait‐based frameworks should apply to plant functioning at any life stage, they have been primarily established for adult plants. Therefore, we lack comprehensive trait‐based studies of seedlings across multiple species to prove which key dimensions of trait variation

Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches: Land manager decisions explored
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets.

Impact of drought and stand edge on mycorrhizal density on the fine roots of Norway spruce
Annals of Forest Research, 2015 This paper evaluates the mycorrhizal status and root system of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) with respect to trees’ position within the stand and artificially induced drought stress.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Trees in cities provide a great number of benefits to people and nature, but they are challenged by harsh conditions. Trees rely on helpful fungi in their roots to get essential nutrients from the soil, but we do not know which of these fungi are resistant to city landscapes.

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,

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Bread wheat is an important crop that supplies calories and nutrients to the global population. Enhancing the concentrations and bioavailability of essential micronutrients in wheat is crucial for human nutrition, and we investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can contribute to the biofortification of wheat.

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 ...

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

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 ...
