Understanding woody plant encroachment: a plant functional trait approach
bioRxiv, 2023 The increase in the density of woody plants threatens the integrity of grassy ecosystems. It remains unclear if such encroachment can be explained mostly by direct effects of soil conditions and hydrology on woody plant growth or by indirect effects on ...

Soil functions and ecosystem services in conventional, conservation, and integrated agricultural systems. A review [PDF]
Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2016 Soil tillage, crop residue management, nutrient management, and pest management are among the core farming practices. Each of these practices impacts a range of soil functions and ecosystem services, including water availability for crops, weed control, insect and pathogen control, soil quality and functioning, soil erosion control, soil organic carbon

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]
, 2019 In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Environment International, 2019 Mulching can effectively maintain and improve soil health and functionality. The mechanisms, however, have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, the effects of temperature on the biogeochemical properties of soil were investigated in the present study in relation to nitrogen management and soil functionality. The results of the 3-year field experiments

Water, 2023 Remotely sensed soil moisture products potentially provide a valuable resource for monitoring agricultural drought and assessing food security. The agriculture dominated countries of Eastern Africa experience high inter-annual variability of rainfall, but the monitoring and assessment of the predominantly rainfed agriculture systems is hindered by an ...
