Influence of Previous Crop on Durum Wheat Yield and Yield Stability in a Long-term Experiment

open access: yesItalian Journal of Agronomy, 2007
Long-term experiments are leading indicators of sustainability and serve as an early warning system to detect problems that may compromise future productivity. So the stability of yield is an important parameter to be considered when judging the value of

Crop rotation modelling - A European model intercomparison

open access: yes, 2015
Diversification of crop rotations is considered an option to increase the resilience of European crop production under climate change. So far, however, many crop simulation studies have focused on predicting single crops in separate one-year simulations.

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Data from: Crop rotational diversity enhances belowground communities and functions in an agroecosystem

open access: yes, 2015
Biodiversity loss, an important consequence of agricultural intensification, can lead to reductions in agroecosystem functions and services. Increasing crop diversity through rotation may alleviate these negative consequences by restoring positive ...

Microenvironmental Reprogramming by 3D Anisotropic Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Induces Nuclear Remodeling and Epigenetic Maturation of Chemically Induced Cardiomyocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

Crop rotation improves nitrogen utilization

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1977
Crop rotation and efficient fertilization practices minimize the amount of nitrate nitrogen reaching groundwaters from fertilizers. Cereal crops reduce soil nitrogen levels by using nitrogen remaining after previous crops.

Rationale and Motivation of Agricultural Producers in Adopting Crop Rotation in the Northern Great Plains, USA

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2019
Despite several environmental and economic benefits of crop rotation, the adoption of this agricultural practice is relatively low. Understanding the reasons for low adoption is important from a sustainability policy perspective.

Impact of shortened crop rotation of oilseed rape on soil and rhizosphere microbial diversity in relation to yield decline [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Oilseed rape (OSR) grown in monoculture shows a decline in yield relative to virgin OSR of up to 25%, but the mechanisms responsible are unknown. A long term field experiment of OSR grown in a range of rotations with wheat was used to determine whether ...

Multimodal Soft Surgical Robots Enabled by Eco‐Degradable, Sterilizable Polymers and Transient Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A compostable PGS soft surgical robot with interchangeable modules integrates transient Mo tactile and Si thermal sensors for dual feedback. The device preserves its function after clinical‐grade sterilization, demonstrates stable actuation and cardiac tissue grasping with real‐time in vivo pulsatile monitoring, and biodegrades post‐use with soil‐safe,

Assessing the Role of Crop Rotation in Shaping Foliage Characteristics and Leaf Gas Exchange Parameters for Winter Wheat

open access: yes, 2023
Properly designed crop rotation enriches the diversity of the agroecosystem, which has a favorable effect on the environmental properties and crop yield. The experiment assessed winter wheat cultivated under the following crop rotations: A. winter rape +
