Urban sites had lower soil moisture, were hotter, and had more impervious surface than rural sites, and invasive plants were smaller at urban sites and more urbanized sites.

Food plants are vital to human and planetary health, but their diversity is threatened, making food security, nutrition, and environmental goals more difficult to achieve.

Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline.

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.
