🌿 New publication in Diversity and Distributions! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... I am delighted to see this new outcome from the BRIDGE project, which I had the pleasure to co-lead with Eric Tabacchi (CNRS, CRBE) between 2021 and 2024 at the CESAB in Montpellier.

🚨 New paper out! “Weeds in a changing climate” is the result of a great collaboration between Montpellier and Wageningen, bringing together weed ecologists, functional ecologists, agronomists, and soil ecologists to explore the role of weeds in cropping systems under climate change.

📢New paper led by our own Marie Zwetsloot. 🌱Weeds aren’t just pests - they can act as climate‑smart service plants that support water and climate regulation in agroecosystems, as long as farmers prevent competition. ▶️https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ppp3.70181

And because one good news comes with another, this other excellent paper, also led by another great ♀️postdoc @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social with @g-fried.bsky.social was also published today 🧪🌐on agricultural intensification & ecosystem services by 🌿 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

This paper is far overdue, so I am very happy to finally see it published! We show that herbicides have noticeable impacts on plant communities in agroecological landscapes at the national level. Must read! @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social 🧪🌐 kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Which regions have the highest levels of invasion of plants in aquatic habitats? Which aquatic invasive plants are most widely distributed? Does the vulnerability of aquatic habitats to invasions differ in temperate vs. tropical regions? Find the answers in this new global synthesis just published.
