Legume pre‐crops can improve following cereal yields and reduce climate impact
Abstract Legumes are increasingly promoted as a diversification strategy to mitigate externalities in low‐diverse cropping systems. Their inclusion can enhance agronomic performance of subsequent crops and reduce external inputs, potentially improving sustainability of current agricultural systems. This study aimed to (i) compare the pre‐crop effect of

Abstract Along with sustained increases in maize (Zea mays L.) yield in the US Corn Belt, the amount of residue left in the field has also increased and is expected to continue increasing into the future. While crop residues play a key role in protecting soils from erosion and maintaining soil organic carbon, high residue levels can hinder crop ...

Cabbage yield estimation with multi‐view convolutional neural networks from UAV‐derived point clouds
Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) data from remote sensing, including point clouds, provide detailed canopy structural information that can enhance both estimation accuracy and model generalization. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of per‐plant yield estimation of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var.

By quantifying the nonlinear response of alpine meadows to plateau zokor activity, we established a robust ecological safety threshold of 166 mounds·ha−1 for sustainable land management. These findings provide a quantitative basis for shifting from conventional “pest control” to adaptive management that maintains plateau zokor populations within limits

Nonlinear interactive effects of temperature and soil moisture on plant biomass and carbon fluxes
Climate warming is affecting plant growth and CO2 fluxes in high‐latitude ecosystems. However, soil moisture – and how it responds to warming – can alter the shape of the relationship between temperature and both plant performance and ecosystem processes. We conducted a microcosm experiment to test the interactive effects of temperature, soil moisture,

There is an increasing risk of drought and salinisation of soil and groundwater globally, including in Pacific Island countries such as Tonga. Irrigating crops with slightly saline water, such as that produced by emerging desalination technologies, could help to alleviate droughts.

Aboveground biomass and productivity of nitrogen-fixing tree species in the Philippines
Aboveground biomass and productivity traits of two nitrogen-fixing exotic species (Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth. and Acacia mangium Willd.) and one nitrogen-fixing native species (Pterocarpus indicus Willd.) were compared in this study using ...

Erosion‐induced nutrient stock redistribution and its agronomic implications in Atlantic Canada
Abstract Connecting soil nutrient stocks with nutrient transport generates a meaningful indicator for evaluating sustainability in agricultural systems. Soil erosion remains a critical challenge for sustainable agriculture, affecting soil quality, nutrients, and crop productivity globally.

Abstract Remote‐sensing spectral observations are widely used to monitor crop growth and productivity, yet their potential for agrohydrological forecasting remains limited by a lack of mechanistic links to crop and soil processes. Existing models often prescribe canopy states, simplify physiological responses, or omit explicit spectral simulations ...
