Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Growth, Photosynthesis, and Nutritional Composition of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Microplastic (MP) contamination in agroecosystems is an increasingly recognized environmental concern, whereas its polymer‐specific impacts on plant growth and nutritional composition remain poorly understood. Aim Our study aimed to evaluate how polymer type and concentration of MPs directly affect plant growth, physiological traits,

Soil Type Controls the Effects of the Nitrification Inhibitor DMPP on Nitrate Leaching and Mineral N Retention Under Simulated Heavy Rainfall

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nitrate (NO3−) leaching is a major nitrogen (N) loss pathway in agriculture and may increase with more frequent heavy rainfall. Nitrification inhibitors, such as 3,4‐dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), can reduce these losses, but their effectiveness under frequent heavy rainfall events remains unclear, which limits their targeted ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Assessing plant water status: Part 1 – Classical methods

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract As a result of the changing climate, water scarcity poses a significant threat to crop and pasture production. Although soil water content can indicate drought, its measurements often provide limited spatial resolution and are weakly correlated with plant water status, producing misleading drought assessments.
