‘The most advanced outpost of cultivation’: palynological evidence for cereal agriculture and population resilience in a marginal upland environment

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

Dental enamel hypoplasia and intra‐tooth isotope records as indicators of physiological stress and environmental variability in Early Pleistocene hippopotamids from Melka Kunture (Upper Awash, Ethiopia)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enamel hypoplasia results from temporary disruptions of enamel deposition during tooth development. It is widely used as an indicator of physiological stress in archeological and paleontological contexts; yet, its relationship with environmental conditions during tooth formation remains poorly constrained.

Ngarrawa (mound spring) sediments as archives of Holocene environmental change in arid central Australia: Insights from Itrax XRF scanning

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate and ‐environmental archives in a region where many aspects of past climate ...

Southern Portugal hydroclimate of the last millennium from near‐annually resolved speleothem records

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydroclimate in Portugal is influenced by the North Atlantic subtropical high‐pressure system (the Azores High) and by internal climate modes, most prominently the North Atlantic Oscillation, which may shift in position and/or intensity due to anthropogenic climate change.

Integrated characterization of Greek fennel genotypes through morpho‐agronomical characteristics, yield components and phytochemical compounds

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 91-103, March 2025.
Abstract Background Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated vegetable and aromatic‐medicinal plant. In this research, field studies assessed 12 fennel genotypes of diverse origin, comprising 10 Greek accessions and two European commercial varieties, focusing on their morpho‐agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant ...

Influence of the growing area on cone yield and alpha and beta acid content in Cascade hops: An Italian case study

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Territorial food production is a well‐known quality trait, which is attracting new customer preferences for different agricultural products. In this context, many microbreweries and agricultural breweries started to cultivate their own small hopyard to exploit the so‐called “terroir” effect.

Gymnema sylvestre: Bioactive constituents, health benefits, and emerging applications in nutraceuticals and functional foods

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R.Br. ex‐Schult., commonly known as “gurmar” or “sugar destroyer,” belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is traditionally used in Ayurveda for diabetes management. This review synthesizes ethnomedicinal evidence with contemporary pharmacological studies, to evaluate the therapeutic properties and mechanistic actions ...

Aflatoxin contamination in dried fruits and nuts in Bangladesh: Occurrence, dietary exposure, and health risk assessment

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dried fruits and nuts are widely consumed for their desirable sensory qualities and high nutritional value, providing essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fatty acids, potassium, dietary fiber, and bioactive compounds. However, they are highly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination, particularly in humid tropical regions ...

Nitrogen‐doped graphene quantum dots tune the mineral, acid, and sugar profile of raisins in a cultivar‐specific manner

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Carbon dots are emerging as low‐toxicity nano‐biostimulants, but their effects on the integrated mineral, organic‐acid, and sugar profiles of grape berries remain poorly characterized, especially in indigenous Vitis vinifera L. cultivars.

Hop production in a low‐trellis espalier system in the subtropical environment

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hop cultivation (Humulus lupulus L.) is expanding into new regions, particularly under subtropical conditions. Traditionally, hop plants are trained using high‐trellis systems; however, a low‐trellis espalier structure may reduce establishment costs, facilitate phytosanitary management, and improve harvest uniformity.
