Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Plant responses to iron nutrition with emphasis on the underutilized crop tef (Eragrostis tef): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron (Fe) deficiency limits the physical health, cognitive development, and economic output of billions of people globally, especially children and productive‐age women. Tef is an underutilized and stress‐resilient crop, which is becoming popular for its grains containing high bioavailable Fe and has the potential to mitigate Fe deficiency.

Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

A composite, host‐participatory haustorium links host compatibility to defence bifurcation in Alectra vogelii (Orobanchaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae are among the most damaging constraints on food production in the tropics, draining water and nutrients from their hosts and threatening the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. Yellow witchweed (Alectra vogelii) can destroy entire legume harvests across sub‐Saharan Africa, where these crops are a ...

Single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas assays for point‐of‐need detection of Stewart's wilt pathogen (Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii) of corn and Maize dwarf mosaic virus

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1988-1999, April 2025.
Schematic diagram of the single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a/13a diagnostic assays for the detection of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and Maize dwarf mosaic virus. The validated assays provide a useful and sensitive molecular tool for detecting two quarantine pathogens of maize within a minimal resource framework suitable for fast‐tracking the ...

frontiermetrics: An R Package for Characterizing Deforestation Frontiers

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation frontiers are major drivers of biodiversity loss, carbon emissions, and ecosystem degradation, yet our understanding of how deforestation progresses in these frontiers is limited. We present frontiermetrics, an R package to quantify a range of metrics describing the speed, severity, and spatio‐temporal patterns of forest loss. The package
