PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Soils are globally degraded due in part to conventional agriculture and wildland conversion. To address the global challenge of soil degradation, we formed an interdisciplinary, cross‐institutional collaborative research team, New Roots for Restoration, to understand how perennial plant root and shoot traits relate to one another, and how they ...

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Drought and high temperatures are expected to increase in Europe, in particular in Mediterranean regions, where black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is mainly harvested. This fungus, living in symbiotic ectomycorrhizal association with trees, is important in forest ecosystems and agricultural diversification.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...
