Optimal Biomass Allocation to Leaves Across Global Terrestrial Ecosystems
This study presents an optimality‐based theory that integrates leaf economic traits and the leaf area index–biomass production ratio to predict leaf carbon allocation from environmental conditions. The theory explains global patterns of leaf carbon allocation and predicts a progressive decline in biomass allocated to leaves under rising atmospheric CO2.

ABSTRACT Saline–alkaline soils are widespread and represent a particularly restrictive environment for rice, especially in arid and semi‐arid regions. These soils commonly combine elevated salinity with high pH, sodium‐related soil constraints and bicarbonate/carbonate accumulation, resulting in severe physicochemical and nutritional limitations. Under

Root Plasticity and Hormonal Regulation Shape Alfalfa Cultivar Responses to Drought and Waterlogging
ABSTRACT Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a globally strategic forage legume whose productivity is increasingly threatened by climatic variability, particularly recurrent drought and flooding events. Although both stresses disrupt plant water balance, they impose contrasting physiological constraints that require distinct adaptive strategies.

ABSTRACT Studies have shown the vital role of silicon (Si) under stress conditions, suggesting it could be used as a basic fertilizer. Collectively, as a strategic approach under biotic and abiotic stress conditions, Si offers a sustainable means to boost legume resilience and productivity, thereby contributing significantly to food security amid ...

ABSTRACT Selecting crop genotypes that optimally balance grain yield, water‐use efficiency and belowground carbon allocation is increasingly critical to mitigate climate change, water scarcity and soil degradation while sustaining food production. Although grain yield, water‐use efficiency and belowground carbon allocation have been widely studied as ...
