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).

Supply constraints on rebound effects of increased energy efficiency : negative multiplier and disinvestment effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Policies that aim to use increased energy efficiency to reduce energy use may not achieve the desired results due to the likelihood of rebound effects.

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Rebound Effects from Increased Efficiency in the Use of Energy by UK Households* [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we use CGE modelling techniques to identify the impact on energy use of an improvement in energy efficiency in the household sector. The main findings are that 1) when the price of energy is measured in natural units, the increase in ...

Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Enhance food plant diversity conservation and use through greater coordination between genebanks and botanic gardens

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food plants are vital to human and planetary health, but their diversity is threatened, making food security, nutrition, and environmental goals more difficult to achieve. Food plant diversity conservation, research, and education can be enhanced through collaboration between sectors, including genebanks and botanic gardens, which possess complementary

Food plant diversity in a rapidly changing world

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline. We describe major trends in how food plant diversity has been changing, note the responses from conservation communities, highlight gaps ...

Who Can Afford to Fail? Investigating Science Students' Perceptions of Failure Through the Lens of Their Identities

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scientists agree that learning to cope with failures is an important skill for science students to develop, and students who participate in science research often have positive outcomes after coping with science failures. However, the experience of failure in undergraduate science education more broadly seems to have an overall negative impact
