I discuss protoplanetary disc evolution under the assumption that magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and self-gravity are the sole sources of angular momentum transport. This assumption implies a magnetically layered disc structure which leads to unsteady accretion, and larger disc masses at late epochs. The resulting environment for planet formation and migration differs qualitatively from the highly simplified – almost toy – models often adopted.
