Agronomic and nutritional performance of lentil–hull‐less barley mixtures under temperate Swiss conditions: protein content, protein yield stability, β‐glucan content and separation ability

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Intercropping of legumes with cereals enhances resilience, resource efficiency, and nutritional quality in food systems, yet few studies have integrated yield stability with grain quantity and post‐harvest processability. Lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) and hull‐less barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var.

Cereal–legume intercropping for climate‐smart livestock production: insights from oat–alfalfa intercropping

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cereal–legume intercropping can improve forage productivity and quality at the same time as enhancing soil function and reducing environmental impacts, yet integrative evaluations under low‐input conditions are scarce. This study assessed oat (Avena sativa L.)–alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) intercropping for forage yield, nutritive ...

Predicting grapevine stem water potential (Ψstem) using UV‐visible‐NIR spectroscopy across contrasting vineyard environments

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change is intensifying water scarcity in viticulture, increasing the need for rapid and reliable tools to monitor vine water status. Spectroscopic techniques have emerged as promising approaches for rapid assessment of plant water status, although their robustness across different environments remains a key challenge.

Characterization of cocoa butter diversity in Theobroma cacao L. in Trinidad.: implications for genetic improvement and chocolate quality

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa butter, the lipid fraction of Theobroma cacao L. seeds, is essential for chocolate quality and functionality, yet the full extent of natural variation in cocoa butter traits across cacao genetic diversity remains poorly characterized.

Long‐term seroepidemiology of European brown hare syndrome in European and Italian hares in Tuscany (Italy)

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We investigated the presence of European Brown Hare Syndrome (EBHS) in wild hare populations in the province of Grosseto (Italy) over a 16‐year period. The results showed that EBHS is widespread, with about two‐thirds of hares showing evidence of past infection. European hares were more frequently exposed than the rarer Italian hare.

Application of Organic Superabsorbent Cellulosic Polymers (OSCPs) and Cyanobacteria on Reduction of Aeolian Losses

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

Microplastic‐Induced Shifts in Soil Leachate Chemistry, Redox Response, Biochemistry, and Biofilm Dynamics

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized as soil contaminants, yet their time‐dependent associations with dissolved organic matter characteristics, redox behavior, biochemical constituents, and biofilm‐associated responses are often investigated separately.

Low Soil Organic Matter Stability Exacerbates the Vulnerability of Karst Areas to Rocky Desertification

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Karst rocky desertification represents a severe form of land degradation and has traditionally been attributed to geological and hydrological constraints. However, soil organic matter (SOM), a key regulator of erosion resistance, is highly responsive to management practices, yet its contribution to rocky desertification remains poorly ...

Post‐Mining Conservation Measures for Erosion Control: A Global Assessment of Their Effectiveness on Runoff and Soil Erosion Reduction

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities severely disturb land surfaces and hydrological processes, intensifying hillslope erosion and soil loss. To evaluate the effectiveness of post‐mining restoration measures and identify the factors regulating their performance, we compiled a global dataset of runoff and soil erosion yield from 58 studies spanning multiple mine ...
