Vitex oreadica and V. umbellata (Lamiaceae): two new species from Cerrado and Atlantic forest of Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vitex L. is a pantropical genus of Lamiaceae comprising 209 taxa. Brazil harbors 35 species, representing nearly 50% of the genus richness in the Neotropics, with the Amazon showing the highest richness, followed by the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado domains. Nevertheless, most taxonomic studies of the genus have been conducted in Africa and Asia.

Negative symbolism of wildlife shapes human–nature coexistence: The plight of owls in Nigeria

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2734-2747, August 2026.
Abstract Human–wildlife coexistence in culturally diverse landscapes requires understanding how socio‐cultural processes shape perceptions and behaviours towards conservation‐priority species. This study examines perceptions, belief‐based uses and conservation attitudes towards owls in communities surrounding six Protected Areas in Nigeria, addressing ...

Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2796-2814, August 2026.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the

Maize Biofortification Approaches for Fighting Malnutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maize is a staple food in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA); however, commonly used maize varieties are deficient in essential nutrients, including lysine, tryptophan, vitamin A, and minerals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn).

Soil Carbon–Nitrogen Pools and Soil Health Across Contrasting Land Uses and a No‐Till Conservation Chronosequence in a Tropical Guinea Savanna Agroecosystem

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon–nitrogen pools are central to soil health, yet their responses to conservation‐oriented management remain insufficiently quantified in tropical agroecosystems. This study evaluated soil carbon–nitrogen pools, stocks and soil health indicators across conventionally managed arable land (CMA), no‐till‐based conservation systems with 2,
