Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

Evaluating land–sea linkages using land cover change and coral reef monitoring data: A case study from northeastern Puerto Rico

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

Mapping Scytonemin Pigment Content and Biocrust Functional Indicators Using High‐Resolution Multispectral Imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution multispectral imagery combined with machine learning can accurately predict key biocrust functional indicators, particularly the UV‐protective pigment scytonemin, across dryland ecosystems. Using fine‐scale imagery acquired in the Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Plateau, we identified spectral bands strongly ...

Ecological and Technological Insights to Enhance Rice Production: A Machine Learning Approach for Sustainable Agriculture in Granma, Cuba

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid the quest for sustainable agriculture, this study explores key ecological and technological factors influencing crop production under climate change. We conduct a comprehensive assessment of temperature, biomass, farmer education, renewable energy devices, greenhouse gas emissions and their effects on rice yields in Granma, Cuba, from ...

Energy Dependence, Energy Import Diversification, and Institutional Quality: Heterogeneous Impacts on Sustainable Economic Development in the European Union

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy dependence poses significant risks for economic development, particularly in regions that rely heavily on imported fossil fuels. This paper examines how energy dependence and energy import diversification influence economic development across 27 European Union countries between 2000 and 2022. Using IV‐GMM and panel quantile regressions,

Human Colitis‐on‐Chip Model Reveals Dual Roles of Butyrate in Epithelial and Macrophage Defense Against Candida albicans Tissue Invasion

Small, EarlyView.
This study establishes a human immunocompetent colitis‐on‐chip model that mimics inflamed gut mucosa and enables quantitative analysis of Candida albicans tissue invasion under DSS‐induced injury. It reveals that microbiota‐derived butyrate simultaneously stabilizes epithelial junctions and reprograms macrophages via HDAC/NLRP3‐dependent mechanisms ...

(Dis)information Systems: a Systemic View of Disinformation

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disinformation is an ancient social phenomenon that has found a favourable environment for dissemination in internet‐based social networks. While the scientific community seeks to address the problem by creating specific tools to detect and classify the various types of false information, we argue that systems thinking is necessary to ...
