Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

Growth, mortality and regeneration responses to ecological forestry treatments are shaped by local factors, species, and initial treatment impact

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
In mixed stands, coniferous species showed growth benefits when coexisting with broadleaf species, possibly due to reduced intraspecific competition or improved access to resources mediated by broadleaf neighbours. This growth advantage was not observed for broadleaf species, indicating asymmetric benefits in mixed stands.
