PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The control efficacy of a novel laser pulse system operating at 1940 nm was tested. The new system allows effective control of young weeds with 1.5 J. Targeting the plant stem is 53‐fold more energy‐efficient than the meristem. Species morphology and beam diameter significantly influence weed control efficacy. Abstract BACKGROUND This study evaluates a

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The geometry of alluvial river channels can give insight into their stability, which can inform predictions of morphological change, flood risk and ecological degradation. Fundamental hydraulic geometry relations can be used to estimate the equilibrium dimensions of stable river channels by evaluating the balance between the erodibility of bed

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...
