Planted pollinator habitat in agroecosystems: How does the pollinator community respond?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Pollinators are important both ecologically and economically. Nonetheless, documented pollinator population decline threatens ecosystem functioning and human well-being.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.Nitrogen addition shifts plant nutrition from nitrogen to phosphorus (P) limitation. Nitrate‐based nitrogen enhances P acquisition more effectively than ammonium through increased phosphatase activity, independently of pH changes. Organic P forms induce stronger P limitation than inorganic P.

Factors Influencing Soil Nitrification Process and the Effect on Environment and Health
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022 To meet the global demand for food, several factors have been deployed by agriculturists to supply plants with nitrogen. These factors have been observed to influence the soil nitrification process.

Native bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) and berry polycultures: Studying farmers’ motivations for diversification and the impact of mass floral resources on pollinator communities [PDF]
, 2017 Floral resource continuity is an important component in pollinator conservation. Mass blooms early in the season may bolster pollinator communities on sequentially flowering crops by creating a resource pulse in an agricultural landscape.

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Fusarium graminearum, one of the causal agents of ear rot in maize and head blight of cereal grains, also infects hemp (Cannabis sativa L. containing a maximum of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol or THC). This fungal pathogen produces trichothecene mycotoxins when it infects maize and cereal grains, but little is known about its production
