Decentralized Solar-Driven Plant Factories Secure an Adequate Global Vegetable Supply beyond the Electricity Grid and Water Limitations

Abstract Conventional open-field vegetable production is increasingly constrained by climate volatility and natural resource endowments, creating supply instabilities and shortages that threaten global food resilience and human health. Here, we integrate solar photovoltaics and a...

Emerging compound air-soil heatwaves amplify global vegetation losses

Abstract Compound air-soil heatwaves—periods in which extreme air and soil temperatures co-occur—pose a growing threat to terrestrial ecosystems, yet their occurrence and impacts remain poorly understood. Here, we show that compound air-soil heatwaves have become more frequent (0...
