The intra- and inter-annual responses of soil respiration to climate extremes in a semiarid grassland

, 2020
Increasing frequency and magnitude of climate extremes could fundamentally affect terrestrial carbon (C) cycling. However, as the second-largest terrestrial C flux, soil respiration (SR) responses to climate extremes are not well understood.

Unveiling the health‐promoting potential of Sudanese sorghum landraces: A legacy rooted in Eastern Sudan, Kassala, and the Red Sea States

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum is a staple food for hundreds of millions of people in dry regions worldwide, and improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food and health security under climate change. In this study, we evaluated traditional Sudanese sorghum varieties grown in eastern deltas to better understand their natural health‐promoting properties. We found

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Challenges and limitations of introducing pigeonpea as a new crop into smallholder farming systems through farmer‐to‐farmer education in Zambia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Legume plants offer generous benefits for both the planet and people by supporting sustainable farming, food and feed systems through their ability to symbiotically fix atmospheric nitrogen. While grain legumes are cultivated and consumed globally, their adoption, market development, and integration into cropping systems vary.

Leaf heat tolerance in a native Californian shrub responds in expected and unexpected ways to differences in range, season, and sunlight exposure

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth's ecosystems are experiencing wide‐ranging impacts from global climate change, including increased average and extreme temperatures. These temperature shifts can drastically affect plant physiology, threatening the future of even common plant species. Here, we focus on photosynthetic function in a native Southern California shrub species.
