PixSim is a flexible, open-source forest growth simulator designed to operate at the pixel level of high-resolution, wall-to-wall forest resource maps generated through remote sensing approaches. PixSim addresses the need to adapt forest growth simulators to the data produced by modern remote sensing-based forest inventories, rather than relying on stand-level averages from traditional field-based inventories. By operating at the pixel level, PixSim captures intra-stand variability in high-resolution forest resource maps, which is often overlooked by stand-level simulators. This capability aligns with the current focus on precision forestry, aimed at improving management decisions with localized data and small-scale management. Implemented in the R programming language, PixSim features minimal package dependencies, provides flexibility and scalability, and has been optimized for high-resolution, large-scale simulations, ensuring efficient computation. The simulator’s flexibility and open-source nature support the incorporation of management modules and the inclusion of climate change scenarios in simulations.

Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) and oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) cultivation generates a vast amount of by-product after the harvest of edible products in the form of used compost, so called spent mushroom composts (SMC) or spent oyster substrate (SOS). In Europe, more than three million tons of SMC are produced every year as a by-product from mushroom cultivation. The management of SMC and SOS has thus become an increasing challenge from an environmental point of view. This spent material has been utilized as growing media, bio-fertilizers, in bioremediation and as a tool to control plant diseases. They have, therefore, a great potential to be implemented in primary food production. The current study investigated the impact of SMC or SOS amendment to peat on plant and microbial growth. The achieved results indicated increased flower and yield potential after SMC amendment to peat compared with SOS. Assessment of microflora in the substrate highlighted higher amount of beneficial microbial groups such as Pseudomonas, in peat and SMC mixtures compared to the ones with peat and SOS.

Strong creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L. spp. rubra Gaudin) is a cool-season perennial turfgrass widely used in temperate and subalpine regions around the globe. Although creeping red fescue turf is tolerant of shade, low fertility acidic soils, and drought conditions, creeping red fescue seed crops grown in optimal growing environments can lodge, ultimately reducing yield in regions where this important turfgrass is grown for seed. To address this issue, we investigated the effects of two plant growth regulators (PGRs), chlormequat chloride (CCC) and trinexapac-ethyl (TE), on plant height, lodging, and seed yield of strong creeping red fescue over 9 site-years in the Peace River region of western Canada. The study encompassed 6 site-years with first-year stands and 3 site-years with second-year stands. The PGRs were applied alone and in a TE + CCC mixture at the two-node (BBCH 32–33, where BBCH is Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt and Chemische Industrie) and early head emergence (BBCH 51–52) growth stages in first- and second-year stands, respectively. The application of TE, CCC, and their mixture resulted in a differential decrease in lodging and an increase in seed yield in first-year stands. However, PGRs applied at BBCH 51–52 on second-year stands had no effect on seed yield but reduced plant height and lodging. This study found a negative correlation between seed yield and lodging. Among the PGR treatments, the CCC + TE mixture was the most effective in reducing lodging and increasing seed yield of strong creeping red fescue.

The use of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) to control weeds has increased exponentially in recent decades, and their residues and degradation products have been found in soils across the globe. GBH residues in soil have been shown to affect plant physiology and specialised metabolite biosynthesis, which, in turn, may impact plant resistance to biotic stressors. In a greenhouse study, we investigated the interactive effects between soil GBH residues and herbivory on the performance, phytohormone concentrations, phenolic compound concentrations and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions of two woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) genotypes, which were classified as herbivore resistant and herbivore susceptible. Plants were subjected to herbivory by strawberry leaf beetle (Galerucella tenella) larvae, and to GBH residues by growing in soil collected from a field site with GBH treatments twice a year over the past eight years. Soil GBH residues reduced the belowground biomass of the susceptible genotype and the aboveground biomass of both woodland strawberry genotypes. Herbivory increased the belowground biomass of the resistant genotype and the root–shoot ratio of both genotypes. At the metabolite level, herbivory induced the emission of several VOCs. Jasmonic acid, abscisic acid and auxin concentrations were induced by herbivory, in contrast to salicylic acid, which was only induced by herbivory in combination with soil GBH residues in the resistant genotype. The concentrations of phenolic compounds were higher in the resistant genotype compared to the susceptible genotype and were induced by soil GBH residues in the resistant genotype. Our results indicate that soil GBH residues can differentially affect plant performance, phytohormone concentrations and phenolic compound concentrations under herbivore attack, in a genotype-dependent manner. Soil GBH altered plant responses to herbivory, which may impact plant resistance traits and species interactions. With ongoing agrochemical pollution, we need to consider plant cultivars with better resistance to polluted soils while maintaining plant resilience under challenging environmental conditions.
