Local canopy cover, shade tree identity and landscape tree cover shape leaf‐cutter ant nest density and herbivory in cacao agroforestry systems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings provide practical guidance for agroforestry management by demonstrating that intercropping with selected species can mitigate damage from leaf‐cutter ants in cacao agroforests. At the landscape scale, high tree cover was associated with low herbivory rates, emphasising the need to maintain or restore forested habitats.

Field assessment of nitrogen sources in Brassica carinata using physiological indicators of nitrogen status under temperate no‐till conditions

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency in Brassica carinata is essential to sustain yield and lower biofuel carbon intensity under variable field conditions. We hypothesized that integrating physiological indicators, such as the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) and the critical nitrogen uptake curve (CriNUC), into N management frameworks would ...

Assessing contributions of deterministic versus stochastic processes to local species assembly: A field experiment with annual plant‐dominated communities in gypsum systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we experimentally show that stochasticity can play prominent roles in driving local species assembly in annual plant‐dominated communities of semiarid gypsum ecosystems. Drylands are traditionally viewed as restrictive environments that impose strong deterministic filtering effects, but neutral events can also contribute decisively to ...

Differentiated policy implementation in food safety and animal welfare policymaking

European Policy Analysis, Volume 12, Issue 1, Winter 2026.
Abstract Agri‐food policies are in the midst of far‐reaching transitions, including the transformation towards sustainable production and food consumption. The European Green Deal and Farm to Fork Strategy prioritize food safety and animal welfare issues, aiming to transform food systems towards more sustainability.
