Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

Biodiversity, threats and conservation challenges in the Cerrado of Amapá, an Amazonian savanna.
, 2017 An Amazonian savanna in northern Brazil known as the Cerrado of Amapa is under imminent threat from poor land-use planning, the expansion of large-scale agriculture and other anthropogenic pressures. These savannas house a rich and unique flora and fauna,

Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

Evaluating anisotropy‐based Monin–Obukhov similarity theory over canopies and complex terrain
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study shows that an anisotropy‐based generalization of Monin–Obukhov surface‐layer scaling (SC23) applies readily across a wide range of atmospheric conditions with variable terrain, canopies, and land‐cover complexity. This work focuses on the scaling of velocity variances for 7 years at the 47 sites in the National Ecological Observation Network
