From niche to scale: enabling factors for saline agriculture in the North Sea and Mediterranean regions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Salinisation is one of the most pressing environmental challenges affecting agricultural land and food production worldwide. Although the challenge is substantial, saline agriculture represents a promising approach that integrates soil, water and crop management practices tailored to salt‐affected lands, enabling both adaptation to ...

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.

Commercial Cultivation of Edible Halophytes: The Issue of Oxalates and Potential Mitigation Options

Agronomy
Saline agriculture, including the commercial cultivation of edible halophytes, is expanding rapidly to address the increase in salinised soil due to natural and man-made causes, the decline in availability of fresh water, the increased use of poor ...

From Salt‐Affected Marginal Land Resource to Remediation Agent: Halophyte‐Derived Biochar for Ameliorating Cd‐Contaminated Acidic Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination of acidic soils poses a significant threat to ecosystem stability and crop health. This study evaluated the potential of biochar derived from the halophyte Salicornia europaea (SBC), a salt‐tolerant plant that grows on saline‐alkali marginal land, to remediate Cd‐contaminated acidic soil.

Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc

A recipe for recovery: diet as a decisive tool in species conservation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals consume foods in specific quantities and ratios to meet a multi‐dimensional nutrient target that maximizes their fitness. Attempts to reach this target in an ever‐changing nutritional landscape often influence animal foraging behavior, habitat choice, and food‐web interactions. Consequently, understanding the nutritional ecology of a species is
