ABSTRACT Knowledge gaps remain regarding soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and aggregate dynamics under varying cropland abandonment periods, particularly within the context of degraded and low‐SOC soils. This study aimed to assess the influence of cropping history and the period of cropland abandonment period on SOC, aggregate distribution, and ...

Preventive Effect of Upland Pigmented Potatoes Against LPS‐Induced Inflammation in THP‐1 Macrophages
The anti‐inflammatory activity of extracts from three commercial potato varieties cultivated upland was investigated on THP‐1 macrophages insulted with LPS. While the chlorogenic acid (CGA)‐rich extract from Kennebec reduced inflammation only at supraphysiological doses, carotenoid‐rich Desirèe and anthocyanin (ACN)‐rich Bleuet decreased TNF‐α, IL‐1β ...

Entomopathogenic nematode‐infected cadavers trigger plants to release volatile organic compounds that deter herbivores, attract parasitic wasps, and boost defense responses, highlighting their potential for sustainable pest management. Abstract Grasping the dynamics between plants and herbivores, as well as the defenses triggered by insects, may hold ...

Diffusion of constructed resources and specialism promote facilitation in spatial systems
Sessile organisms, such as plants, contend with locally limiting nutrients and neighbours. By consuming nutrients or increasing local concentration by niche construction, they alter the conditions of growth in their local environment. Diffusion of resources alters the interaction sign between two neighbours usually thought to compete for resources.
