Aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) reached saturation at approximately 10 g N m−2 year−1, while mowing increased the nitrogen saturation threshold to a higher nitrogen‐addition level. This nonlinear saturation response was mainly driven by increased dominance of the dominant species, with plant stoichiometric thresholds further promoting the ...

ABSTRACT Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important grain legumes and provides a major source of protein, vitamins and minerals worldwide. Despite decades of traditional breeding delivering significant genetic gains in disease resistance and adaptation, seed yield improvement has advanced only incrementally, constrained by the highly ...

ABSTRACT To diversify cereal‐dominated rotations and increase protein supply for feed and plant‐based diets, soybean cultivation in nontraditional areas of Europe is encouraged. However, regional data and knowledge about nodulation, biomass and yield performance of different cultivars are still scarce.

Exploring the Transcriptional Responses of Wheat to Sowing Density and Cultivar Mixtures
ABSTRACT Cultivar mixtures enhance diversity in fields, offering multiple agronomic benefits while remaining compatible with mechanized agriculture. However, mechanization introduces limitations, such as sowing density, which can influence crop yield.

Spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping for crop water stress assessment: A review
Abstract Water stress is a major limiting factor for crop productivity worldwide, and its impacts are intensifying due to climate variability and increasing water scarcity. This review focuses on the spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping as a critical approach to improving crop water‐stress assessment and supporting precision water ...

Abstract In peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), plant stand establishment, seedling vigor, and canopy growth are key determinants of crop performance; yet traditional ground‐based assessment methods can be destructive, labor‐intensive, and limited in throughput.

The Distributional impact of dams: Evidence from cropland productivity in Africa [PDF]
We examine the distributional impact of major dams on cropland productivity in Africa. As our unit of analysis we use a scientifically based spatial breakdown of the continent that allows one to exactly define regions in terms of their upstream ...

Resolving early growth variation in Pinus radiata: Effective indoor phenotyping of juvenile trees
Abstract Indoor plant phenotyping facilities provide high‐resolution, dynamic trait data not achievable with other systems, but are rarely applied to trees due to size constraints. Using the model conifer Pinus radiata, this study evaluated whether early growth variation among three clonal genotypes can be detected and reliably resolved using indoor ...

Science Needs for a Terrestrial Biosphere Tipping Point Early Warning System
Abstract Tipping points in the Earth system have the potential to cause major detrimental impacts to the biosphere and societies. Their inherent nonlinearity implies that even relatively small additional increases in external forcing might result in disproportionately large adjustments to components of the Earth system.

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...
