AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 783-791, May 2026.
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,

Assessing contributions of deterministic versus stochastic processes to local species assembly: A field experiment with annual plant‐dominated communities in gypsum systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we experimentally show that stochasticity can play prominent roles in driving local species assembly in annual plant‐dominated communities of semiarid gypsum ecosystems. Drylands are traditionally viewed as restrictive environments that impose strong deterministic filtering effects, but neutral events can also contribute decisively to ...

Assessing limits of sustainable seed harvest in wild plant populations

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Seed harvesting from wild plant populations is key for ecological restoration, but it may threaten the persistence of the source populations. Consequently, several countries have set guidelines limiting the proportions of harvestable seeds. However, these guidelines are inconsistent and lack a solid empirical basis.

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 562-589, May 2025.
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Introgression of dwarfing allele dw1 reduced seed dormancy and increased pre‐harvest sprouting susceptibility in grain sorghum converted lines

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1783-1797, May 2025.
Summary Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. moench) stands as a globally significant cereal crop but the adversity of pre‐harvest sprouting (PHS) caused by reduced grain dormancy and moist conditions prior to harvest remains unsolved. Here, we identified a dormancy QTL using a Redlan×IS9530 RIL population, where parent lines are low in tannins and early ...
