The field of trait measurement and quantification has witnessed significant scientific advancements in recent years, driven by the growing demand for precise comprehensive assessments plants' characteristics attributes. However, contemporary research embraced innovative approaches that incorporate cutting-edge technologies interdisciplinary methodologies to enhance accuracy reliability assessment. One noteworthy advancement involves integration advanced statistical techniques, such as item response theory latent variable modeling, refine precision psychological traits. These techniques allow researchers extract nuanced information from data, improving granularity quantification. Furthermore, advent physiological monitoring opened new avenues measurement. Likewise, wearable devices biosensors have facilitated continuous ecologically valid monitoring, providing real-time data enhances Additionally, incorporation big machine learning revolutionized Large-scale datasets sophisticated algorithms enable identification subtle patterns relationships among traits, paving way more accurate predictive models personalized assessments. Moreover, cross-disciplinary collaborations emerged a hallmark progress Physiologist, geneticists, computer scientists are joining forces develop holistic encompass both genetic environmental influences on resulting understanding plants nature. Scientific ushered era objectivity. Innovations methods, technology, learning, cooperation collectively contributed refinement expansion our capacity assess developments hold promise not only academic but also applications psychology, education, beyond.

Achieving the intertwined goals of justice and sustainability requires transformative changes to meaningfully engage diverse perspectives. Therefore, scholars policymakers need new ways recognising addressing nature's multiple values across cultures, disciplines other knowledge traditions. By reviewing academic publications, policy documents Indigenous local community sources, we developed an inclusive typology clarify value concepts guide their consideration in decisions. Through case studies, illustrate how navigating 'horizontal' 'vertical' interactions within this can help confront plural-value challenges, such as enhancing participation environmental research practice, effective management socio-environmental conflicts. We conclude by exploring further leverage change decision-making contexts.

Georgina Mace introduced a compelling perspective on the major shifts in conservation science’s framing and purpose from 1960 to 2010. A decade ago, she proposed that community had begun move into new of ‘people nature’ based changes perspectives relationships between people nature interdisciplinary concepts methods used conservation. Progress using this frame is clear as ‘two-way dynamic have since taken centre stage science, practice policy. Now, responding concerns raised current approaches are still not meeting scale complexity challenges Anthropocene, we explore newly emerging with nature’—an inextricably intertwined people–nature relationships.

Abstract Non-technical summary Ensuring more equitable transformations requires addressing how different contextual dimensions of identity, such as gender and class, hinder equity. However, previous analyses on equity have addressed these separately. We suggest advancing beyond methods by integrating intersectional analysis into the distributive, procedural, recognition aspects when examining social–ecological transformations. A review 37 studies transformation shows that scholars commonly social, spatial, environmental In contrast, few gone depth in analyzing reasons for power imbalances. encourage to use critical questions reflect collectively.

Despite globally agreed sustainability goals, advocacy for specific pathways of action remains highly contested. Disagreement about how best to advance can produce constructive debate but also lead marginalization, conflict, and inaction. This review uncovers different "values nature" underpin allegiance sustainability. It analyzes four selected pathways: (1) Green Economy, (2) Nature Protection, (3) Earth Stewardship Biocultural Diversity, (4) Degrowth Post-Growth. We identify these diverge in the values they prioritize are inseparable from kind knowledge solutions advocate resolve environmental crises. The reveals underlying that differentiate (and connect) competing argues transparency reflection on differences is a step toward more use diversity. Looking forward, we promising directions involving deliberative governance, institutional reforms, disruption dominance.
