Background&Aims Monitoring belowground soil–plant interactions in the field remains challenging and limits our ability to inform and improve agricultural management. Our primary objective was to develop two‑dimensional (2D) maps of soil and root properties using a minimally destructive, paired soil-root co‑sampling strategy in a long‑term, small‑plot experiment. Our secondary objective was to test two hypotheses: H1) soil and...

Cities increasingly hope to mobilize nature-based solutions in urban sustainability planning because of their wide-ranging ecosystem services. In this critical moment, where failure due to poor implementation could lead policymakers to turn away from nature-based solutions, we investigate the case of urban forestry and ask: how do strategic-level sustainability goals influences site-level decision-making? We conducted semi-str...

Climate change is projected to push the limits of cropping systems and has the potential to disrupt the agricultural sector from local to global scales. This article introduces the Coordinated Climate‐Crop Modeling Project (C3MP), an initiative of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (Ag MIP ) to engage a global network of crop modelers to explore the impacts of climate change via an investigation of...
