Harvesting of two alpine Artemisia: Effects of an amateur practice on wild plant dynamics

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wild plants are consumed all over the world, and knowledge of the effects of harvesting is necessary to ensure the sustainability of this activity. Our 3‐year study of two closely related alpine Artemisia species in the Southern Alps revealed a positive impact of harvesting at the plant scale and on the short term.

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 ...

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).
