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.

Higher NO3−‐N Levels Under Mulberry (Morus alba L.) Planting Enhanced CAZyme Abundance, Increasing Soil Carbon Stability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

Mechanism of Combined Improvement of Saline‐Alkali Soil by Artificial Humic Acid and Microbial Inoculant

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the widespread constraints imposed by saline‐alkaline soils on agricultural production worldwide, the combined reclamation and carbon cycle regulation effects of artificial humic acid (AHA) and a multifunctional microbial inoculant were evaluated through pot experiments. Results demonstrated that co‐application of AHA (4 g·kg−1) and

Effects of Organic Fertilizer Substitutions on Latex Yield and Soil Fertility in Hevea brasiliensis Plantations: A Case Study in Southern Philippines

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rubber plantations can be a major source of income for small landholder farmers in rural communities across Southern Asia. However, rising fertilizer costs and progressive soil degradation threaten long‐term productivity and economic viability.

Manure Composting as a Strategy to Mitigate Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination in Agricultural Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Livestock manure is a valuable agricultural resource but may introduce antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. This review critically evaluates the fate of antibiotics and ARGs during manure composting and identifies the principal factors controlling their attenuation.
