This is the Campbell scoping review. The objectives are as follows: (i) To define and characterize the food environment of pastoralists in Africa; (ii) To identify the domains of the food environment that have been studied in pastoralist settings in Africa; (iii) To assess the relationship between the food environment and food choice, dietary intake, and nutrition outcomes among pastoralists in Africa; and (iv) To map the study designs, methods, and geographical coverage of the studies.

Article Synopsis
- The text reviews and describes various species from the genus Esaki and notes a new recording from China, focusing on those documented by J. Polhemus & Andersen.
- It provides new distribution records for six previously reported species along with their diagnostic characteristics and in-situ observations.
- Accompanying visual aids include photographs and illustrations, as well as a key and distribution map to help identify these species in China.

Article Synopsis
- LGG is a type of good bacteria that usually helps keep our intestines healthy and fights bad germs.
- In an experiment with zebrafish, scientists found that a part of LGG called SpaC can actually hurt the fish's intestines by making their cells die in a specific way.
- This research shows that probiotics from different creatures, like LGG from humans, might not always be safe for other animals because they can cause problems in their bodies.

Demand for sustainably produced biomass is expected to increase with the need to provide renewable commodities, improve resource security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with COP26 commitments. Studies have demonstrated additional environmental benefits of using perennial biomass crops (PBCs), when produced appropriately, as a feedstock for the growing bioeconomy, including utilisation for bioenergy (with or without carbon capture and storage). PBCs can potentially contribute to Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) (2023-27) objectives provided they are carefully integrated into farming systems and landscapes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFResearch gaps in understanding flood changes at the catchment scale caused by changes in forest management, agricultural practices, artificial drainage, and terracing are identified. Potential strategies in addressing these gaps are proposed, such as complex systems approaches to link processes across time scales, long-term experiments on physical-chemical-biological process interactions, and a focus on connectivity and patterns across spatial scales. It is suggested that these strategies will stimulate new research that coherently addresses the issues across hydrology, soil and agricultural sciences, forest engineering, forest ecology, and geomorphology.
