Mapping arboretum research: Trends, gaps, and opportunities for biodiversity conservation, society, and climate resilience

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Arboreta bridge people and nature while conserving tree biodiversity, supporting climate resilience, and advancing environmental education. This study maps over a century of available and indexed arboretum research, uncovering trends, knowledge gaps, and opportunities for collaboration.

The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

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

open access: yesPLANTS, 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

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),

Converting an Integer to a Decimal String in Under Two Nanoseconds

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Converting binary integers to variable‐length decimal strings is a fundamental operation in computing. Conventional fast approaches rely on recursive division and small lookup tables. The goal of this work is to develop a significantly faster method for this task.

Information Dynamics and Learning in Complex Adaptive Systems: Toward a Transdisciplinary Framework

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article develops a framework for understanding learning and adaptation in complex adaptive systems. Drawing from neuroscience, systems theory, information theory and quantum field theory, it examines how information processing, plasticity and systemic coherence emerge from distributed, nonlinear and feedback‐driven interactions. It argues

(Dis)information Systems: a Systemic View of Disinformation

open access: yesSystems 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 ...

System as a Unifying Process: An Onto‐Epistemic Notion of System

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article proposes an onto‐epistemic notion of system as a relational process of unifying a multiplicity of actuals and abstractions into an actual unity, thereby encompassing concreteness and abstraction onto the same plane. This notion rejects the opposition between constructivism and realism within systems studies, the excessive focus on
