Saplings of significance: Nurturing cultural value of new tree plantings through participatory opportunities

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree‐planting initiatives are a crucial part of international sustainability and climate action efforts. Yet, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their long‐term sustainability and climate goals. The role of community value is an often‐overlooked factor in promoting the success of new tree plantings.

Effects of endogamy on microsporogenesis in popcorn (Zea mays L.) [PDF]

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2007
Inbred lines are necessary for the development of popcorn hybrids. Genes for several traits, among them thoserelated to the meiotic process, approach homozygosis during inbreeding. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate themeiotic stability of popcorn

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...
