Solar farms can mitigate negative impacts of whiplash weather on plant communities in a dryland ecosystem

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Road air pollution harms the reproductive success of a bee‐pollinated wildflower: A dusty threat to biodiversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Dust, a common form of air pollution, is particularly problematic on roadsides, which are important habitats for plants and pollinators. We investigated whether and how road dust affects plant sexual reproduction using Primula chungensis in a biodiversity hotspot. Our study provides compelling evidence that road dust can harm plant reproductive success
