Which indicators are most effective at detecting rapid shifts in soil health?
Abstract Farmers are showing a growing interest in soil health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how and when indicators respond to changes in land management. Measurements of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen can take up to a decade to shift. However, it is unknown how other biotic markers of soil health (i.e., nematode communities) react.

Nitrogen dynamics and physiological N use efficiency in high‐biomass sorghum
Abstract Improving nitrogen (N) efficiency is essential for sustainable high‐biomass sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) production. This study evaluated leaf and stem N dynamics, canopy N remobilization, and physiological nitrogen use efficiency (pNUE) in two photoperiod‐sensitive sorghum hybrids under two N rates (0 and 168 kg‐N ha−1) across multiple

3N Agriculture: Growing the greenest tomorrow
Abstract The global food system must confront the intertwined challenges of feeding a growing population, reversing environmental degradation, and improving nutrition. While past agricultural innovations improved yields, they often undermined sustainability and food quality. In response, we propose the 3N Agriculture framework—Net‐Zero, Nature‐Positive,

Net mineralizable soil phosphorus cannot be measured by non‐isotopic approaches
Abstract While radioisotopic pool dilution is widely regarded as the most reliable method for estimating soil phosphorus mineralization (Pmin), high costs, low throughput, and safety requirements limit its use. We evaluated the potential of non‐radioisotopic approaches to estimating net Pmin by difference before and after aerobic incubation, analogous ...
