Harnessing microbial power to degrade hydrocarbon‐based plastics

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing global plastic waste crisis demands the development of urgent, effective, and sustainable solutions. While conventional recycling methods present intrinsic limitations, microbial biodegradation of plastic waste has emerged as a promising alternative.

What turns us off about green and blue spaces in cities? Understanding perceived problems and unpleasant experiences for more just urban planning, design and management

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The planning, design and management of urban green and blue spaces necessitate trade‐offs between these spaces' many benefits and their drawbacks, but knowledge of perceived problems and unpleasant experiences in urban green and blue spaces remains limited.

Simulating Arctic Greening: Microbial Responses in Thawing Yedoma Permafrost

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arctic permafrost soils and sediments store vast amounts of organic carbon. With global warming intensifying, these soils are increasingly exposed to microbial decomposition. Further, Arctic warming and longer growing seasons drive regional greening, potentially accelerating the degradation of the previously frozen organic matter through ...

Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...
