Environmental watering elevates chytrid infection probability in frogs

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Prolonged drought associated with climate change is a global threat to amphibians. Environmental watering could limit declines but may worsen the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis which thrives in wet conditions. We aimed to discover how environmental water and chytrid interact to influence the survival of the endangered frog Pseudophryne ...

Simulation and Experimental Investigation of Low‐Speed Centrifugal Pump Coupled With Vertical Ultra‐Low‐Head Turbine for Small‐Scale Irrigation

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
From the reviews, a new concept of a low‐speed centrifugal pump (LSCP) driven by a vertical ultra‐low‐head hydro turbine (VULHT) was designed and tested on simulation and physical setup. It was performed with a 1.8 m delivery head, concluding as inefficient. For ultra‐low‐head conditions, different than centrifugal action is recommended.

Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Tree Cultivation in Hydroponic Systems: Effects of Substrate Type and Electrical Conductivity on Nutrient Status and Growth in Soilless Fig Tree

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
The fig tree has traditionally been cultivated in open fields for its fruit. However, recent advancements have enabled the cultivation of fruit trees in greenhouses. This study investigates the effects of hydroponic cultivation of fig trees, focusing on growth parameters and nutritional status under two substrates, coconut coir and pumice, and three ...

Landless peasants, soilless cultivation: British agricultural experimentation and intervention in post‐independence Iraq (1932–1958)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 603-610, March 2026.
‘Greening’ is often depicted as an inherently benevolent practice, turning arid stretches of land into arable and fertile plots. However, by considering a longer history of place and taking archival records into account, such transformations are rendered more complex and, often, more fraught.
