Protected and productive: How greenhouses should deliver UK food security

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 626-638, March 2026.
The United Kingdom produces less than 20% of its fruit and ~50% of its vegetables, leaving it highly import dependent and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions. Our study maps 2085 ha of existing greenhouses, over 70% more than 40 years old, and identifies where modern infrastructure could expand production.

Getting hands‐on with hedges—Does experiential engagement in plant science experiments affect secondary school pupils' environmental perceptions?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 712-726, March 2026.
In towns and cities, vegetation growing around streets and buildings can lessen the risks posed by extreme heat, rainfall and poor air quality. However, the urban public (and particularly, youth) have limited awareness of these environmental benefits.

High Voltage DC Active Current Injection to Simulate Geomagnetically Induced Currents in New Zealand

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the effects of geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) on New Zealand's electrical infrastructure via an intentional ground injection of direct current (DC) from a high voltage DC converter station. GIC manifests as quasi‐DC currents within power systems, potentially causing transformer saturation, increased reactive ...

Urban Overheating: International Examples

This report provides an overview of international responses to urban overheating. It goes beyond a focus on individual building fabric to explore how city-wide responses can help mitigate the effects of heatwaves. It presents a review of international examples of cities which have developed a range of approaches for addressing and mitigating the risks ...

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies—State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 663-683, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Urban data model for studying neighborhood overheating

In a global warming context, solutions for mitigating urban overheating have been identified, such as high-albedo surfaces, urban morphology that allows for natural ventilation, and vegetation to provide shade and humidity. However, it remains challenging for stakeholders to adopt these solutions and incorporate them into the design of new ...

CFD‐Assisted Design and Prototyping of a Solar Dryer for Pomegranate Arils: From Virtual Models to Physical Implementation

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2026.
CFD‐guided design of a solar dryer for pomegranate arils demonstrated effective drying under both natural and forced convection, with virtual simulations closely matching experimental results. The study highlights performance trade‐offs, uniformity challenges, and practical design insights for sustainable postharvest processing.
