Primary, ancient, or old‐growth? Navigating the dimensions of ecological continuity in forests
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Ecological continuity is one of the key conditions for biodiversity conservation. However, concepts used to describe ecological continuity in forests remain poorly defined. To clarify ecological continuity, we present a framework with two temporal dimensions (ancientness and old‐growthness) and one spatial dimension (contiguity).

Impact of Zero Tillage in India's Rice-Wheat Systems
To date, the most widely adopted resource conserving technology (RCT) in the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP)has been zero-tillage (ZT) for wheat after rice, particularly in India.

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rising global demand for safe and unadulterated foods has accelerated the need for rapid, low‐cost, and portable analytical technologies. Traditional laboratory methods, although accurate, are often labor‐intensive and unsuitable for decentralized, real‐time monitoring. In response, nanomaterial‐assisted electrochemical sensors have emerged as

The effect of awns on seed yield and germination characteristics in Elymus nutans Griseb.
Grassland Research, EarlyView.The effect of awns on seed yield. Three‐year field trials demonstrated that awns significantly regulate seed yield components and germination characteristics of Elymus nutans Griseb, laying a theoretical foundation for the breeding of high‐yielding forage varieties and seed production.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Abstract Background Plant allometry theory developed in the last century focused on 2/3‐power scaling, determined by light interception considerations. More recently, 3/4‐power scaling based on the properties of vascular distribution networks has been proposed.
