Abstract
The review presents a snapshot of thrust areas at the interface of chemical ecology and ecosystem-based planning that have not received adequate attention, despite significant progress in the respective fields. It is important to take note of such calls for action, due to the growing emphasis on adaptation. Importantly, several facets of bio-resources management across the soil and plant continuum feature in this gaps framework. These include, amongst others, mineralization mediators in soils, age correlated changes in biochemical profiles with implications for tri-trophic interactions, and therefore productivity and related interpretation as signals of resilience. Recent advances in science communication that will enable target-oriented engagement with stakeholders are also referred to, as part of the public policy framework this review centers on.
