Chitosan–Alginate Seed Encrusting Enhances Salt Tolerance in Sweet Corn

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil salinity is one of the most critical factors limiting global crop productivity, significantly hampering seed germination and early seedling development. This study examined the effects of seed treatment with chitosan and sodium alginate (NaAlg) on seedling growth and physiological responses of sweet corn (Zea mays L.

Dietary Specialisation Shapes Gut Bacterial Diversity in Dung Beetles: Insights From Coprophagy to Millipede Carnivory

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Dung beetles feed on various food sources that are rich in microbial life. Here, we describe how the diets of seven dung beetle species, specialising in coprophagy, necrophagy, detritophagy, fungivory and carnivory influence their gut bacterial structure and diversity.

Preharvest potassium silicate treatments influence the morphological appearance and enhance nutritional composition of almond kernels

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 2800-2807, 30 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...

Sentinel‐5p Reveals Unexplained Large Wildfire Carbon Emissions in the Amazon in 2024

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract In 2024, the Amazon region experienced severe wildfires driven by exceptional drought conditions. Advanced fire emission models estimated Amazon carbon monoxide (CO) emissions between 28 and 62 Tg during the main August‐September Amazon fire season. The majority of the 2024 CO emissions came from (understorey) forest fires, unlike the previous
