A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Climate change‐driven expansion of goosegrass highlights risks to global food production

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Climate change is expanding the climatic suitability of Eleusine indica into temperate agricultural regions, increasing its overlap with major soybean and maize production areas. These findings highlight a growing global threat to food security and the need for proactive weed management strategies.

Spatiotemporal scenarios of socioeconomic futures in Germany

Frontiers in Climate
Socioeconomic development influences both the drivers and consequences of climate change, but many scenario applications still rely on highly aggregated indicators such as GDP and population, which mask regional diversity.

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Groundwater Interactions With a Regulated River: A Case Study of the Nechako River, Canada

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulated rivers represent complex hydrological systems where groundwater–surface water interactions are governed by natural conditions and human interventions. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of groundwater–surface water exchanges in the Nechako River, British Columbia (Canada), using numerical simulations.

Inclusive climate change mitigation and food security policy under 1.5°C climate goal [PDF]

, 2018
Climate change mitigation to limit warming to 1.5°C or well below 2°C, as suggested by the Paris Agreement, can rely on large-scale deployment of land-related measures (e.g., afforestation, or bioenergy production).

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

Future changes in precipitation over Guinea-Bissau under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)

Journal of Water and Climate Change
ABSTRACT Guinea-Bissau, like many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, faces persistent food insecurity due to its reliance on rainfed agriculture. Climate change is expected to heighten this vulnerability. This study evaluates projected changes in precipitation extremes in Guinea-Bissau throughout the 21st century using the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 ...
