#ClimateChange poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🧵1/4 #PlantScience @wileyecology.bsky.social @wileylifesci.bsky.social

Conceptual figure describing how evidence from climate-smart land management studies links land-use systems, biogeochemical and biophysical outcomes, and social and economic contexts. A practice's climate-smart status is determined by its net climate impact (CO2, CH4, and N2O combined), while its adoption and durability at scale are separately shaped by context-specific social feasibility and economic viability, meaning a climate-smart practice may still see limited or uneven adoption depending on social and economic factors. In our review, we found uneven representation of studies across systems and incomplete greenhouse gas accounting, making it challenging to assess if, when, where, and how land management practices deliver climate benefits.

#Hybridization patterns and research effort in #Asteraceae, a megadiverse and economically important plant family 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... by O'Connell et al. @noraflora10.bksy.social @ktinvasion.bsky.social

Graphical abstract. Plant hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important evolutionary process, and a deeper understanding of hybridization is necessary for its application to agriculture, conservation, and ecological solutions. Here, we assess correlates of hybridization in the megadiverse and societally important family Asteraceae and how and where hybrids have been identified over the past 50+ years. We find that researchers are increasingly using molecular tools to identify hybrids and that efforts are biased towards European and North American examples. Our findings highlight the need for geographic expansion of plant hybrid reporting to facilitate the identification of global patterns.
