The factors driving evolved herbicide resistance at a national scale

A survey of black-grass occurrence and herbicide resistance on farms across the United Kingdom suggests that resistance drives weed density and that cyclical or combination herbicide application does not reduce resistance evolution.

Revealing uncertainty in the status of biodiversity change

This study presents an approach to deal with spatial, temporal and phylogenetic non-independence in large-scale analyses of biodiversity change, improving trend estimation and inference across scales.

C₄ photosynthesis boosts growth by altering physiology, allocation and size

C₄ photosynthesis is thought to be more efficient than the ancestral C₃ form, but data directly comparing the two are inconsistent. This study compares 382 grasses and finds a consistent increase in growth and greater investment in water and nutrient acquisition in C₄ species.

Substantial carbon drawdown potential from enhanced rock weathering in the United Kingdom

Enhancing rock weathering across UK croplands could deliver substantial atmospheric carbon dioxide removal alongside agricultural co-benefits, according to coupled climate–carbon–nitrogen cycle model simulations.

The costs of human-induced evolution in an agricultural system

Pesticides overuse has led to evolution of resistance but the associated crop yield losses or economic costs at large scale are not known. This study estimates the annual cost of resistance in England for black-grass and calls for national-scale planning to address the problem.

The interplay of past diversification and evolutionary isolation with present imperilment across the amphibian tree of life

A phylogeny of nearly all extant amphibian species reveals biogeographic patterns of evolutionary distinctiveness and current threat exposure that will inform conservation strategies for these groups.
