Microbial functional diversity indicators in vineyard soils under organic and biodynamic land management

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background An on-vineyard approach was used to investigate the effects of biodynamic (BD) preparations on microbial functional diversity and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in four vineyards on different bedrocks under organic management ...

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

An Increasing Misalignment Between Crop Distribution and Environmental Resources Under Climate Change in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change reshapes the spatial alignment between crop production and environmental resources. Using multi‐source data and a crop model, integrated climatic, water, and soil endowments for maize and wheat are quantified and compared with harvest distributions.

Soil health benefits of perennial biofuel crops on claypan soils

Soil Security
Claypan depth is one of the most significant drivers of variable soil productivity across different agricultural cropping systems in claypan soils, and the benefits of perennial biofuel cropping systems have been a topic of interest for decades.

Single‐Cell Transcriptomics Reveals FLS2‐Dependent Hypoxia Signaling and ERF13‐Mediated Transcription During flg22‐Triggered Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs sc‐RNA sequencing, genetics, and phenotyping to systematically map the cell‐type‐specific immune responses triggered by flg22. It reveals FLS2‐dependent transcriptional reprogramming in epidermal and mesophyll cells, and uncovers crosstalk between immune and hypoxia signaling pathways.

MIXED CROPPING SYSTEMS

Proceedings of International Forestry and Environment Symposium, 2013
Kandyan forest gardens are typical examples of perennial mixed cropping systems in SriLanka. However due to the nonsystematic cropping of these units the Delpitiya MixedCropping Model (DELMIX) was developed and planted in 1978 on eroded tea land. Yielddata of DELMIX indicate that yields of all the crops increased with the time.
