Soil sample timing and depth effect on soil health assessment in Mid‐South US row‐crop production systems

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Spatial and seasonal variability in soil properties influences soil analysis results, but their impact on soil health assessment has not been well investigated. We evaluated how soil health indicators and scores were affected by soil sampling time (spring, summer, fall, and winter) and depth (0–5, 5–10, and 10–15 cm).

Incorporating County‐Level Spatial Resolution in Maize Life Cycle Emissions Analysis in Illinois, USA

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Spatial life cycle analysis (LCA) shows that the carbon intensity (CI) of maize grain used for ethanol production in Illinois, USA varies across the state, with an average carbon intensity of 14%–17% lower than the national average used in policy decisions.

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Legacy effects of 41 years of tillage and fertilization on biological nitrogen fixation and nutritional status of hairy vetch in a continuous cotton system

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Long‐term tillage and nitrogen fertilization in a continuous cotton–cover crop system influenced soil organic matter and nitrogen availability, shaping nitrogen acquisition strategies of a vetch cover crop. Conventional tillage promoted greater reliance on BNF, whereas no‐till systems favored soil‐derived nitrogen uptake and higher legume nitrogen ...

Multifunctionality of annual forage crop mixtures for improved biomass, beef cattle diets, and soil health outcomes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Cover crop mixtures (CCMs) can fit well into various agricultural production systems and have gained popularity among grain and livestock producers, as well as organic and market gardeners across western Canada, due to their potential to enhance forage production and soil health.

Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) preceding soybean suppresses nodulation and reduces grain yield in a low-fertility sandy soil

Frontiers in Agronomy
Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is increasingly used as a preceding cover crop for high nitrogen (N)-demand crops; however, its effects under different termination approaches intended to supply starter N to subsequent soybean remain unclear.

Reniform Nematode Management Using Winter Crop Rotation and Residue Incorporation Methods in Greenhouse Experiments

Journal of Nematology, 2023
Rotylenchulus reniformis (reniform nematode, RN) is an important pathogen in cotton production. Cultural practices such as crop rotation and biofumigation—management of soil pathogens by biocidal compounds from crop residues—may help manage RN.

Lignin composition correlates with pod dehiscence in hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Farmers and policy makers are increasingly interested in cover cropping to remedy harms caused by annual cash crop systems. However, species used for cover cropping have limited breeding and improvement histories. The objective of this study was to examine seed pod lignin profiles in relation to pod dehiscence (shatter) in the semi ...

Cover crops and nitrogen rates: Impacts on no‐till corn and soil health in Louisiana

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Use of cover cropping systems to improve soil health is still limited in Louisiana. This study aimed to examine the interaction between cover crops and nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates on crop yield, soil chemical, and biological properties. Winter cover crop treatments, including legumes, a grass and brassica, and a fallow control, were combined

Does water vole diet meet the prerequisites of the “plant hypothesis” for explaining population cycles?

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...
