Soil Mineral Nitrogen Concentrations Do Not Affect the Ability of Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) to Reduce Nitrous Oxide Emissions From Cattle Urine Patches

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Results to date on the effectiveness of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) use as a nitrous oxide (N2O) mitigation tool have been variable. In this context, soil mineral N and water content might be factors regulating plantain effectiveness in reducing N2O emissions.

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Influence of the growing area on cone yield and alpha and beta acid content in Cascade hops: An Italian case study

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Territorial food production is a well‐known quality trait, which is attracting new customer preferences for different agricultural products. In this context, many microbreweries and agricultural breweries started to cultivate their own small hopyard to exploit the so‐called “terroir” effect.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

open access: yesJournal 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.

Macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of meat types: insights into human health and diet

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite considerable advances in global health and nutrition, emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and limited natural resources continue to threaten food security. Meat remains an essential component of the human diet, supplying high‐quality proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...

Assessing plant water status: Part 1 – Classical methods

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract As a result of the changing climate, water scarcity poses a significant threat to crop and pasture production. Although soil water content can indicate drought, its measurements often provide limited spatial resolution and are weakly correlated with plant water status, producing misleading drought assessments.

Grassland forage legumes and drought mitigation – sheep wool application improved soil water availability and enhanced drought–stress responses

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (aw); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress ...

Copaiba oleoresin as a substitute for sodium lasalocid in high‐concentrate diets for lambs: growth performance, ingestive behavior, and metabolic and ruminal parameters

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The indiscriminate and excessive use of ionophore additives has been associated with the emergence of multi‐resistant pathogenic strains and the global spread of antibiotic resistance, raising serious public health concerns. Thus, plant biocompounds have been the focus of several studies aiming to replace ionophore additives in ...

Farmers versus wolves: how geographic, social cognitive, and experiential factors influence attitudes towards a predator in Italy

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
A survey of 426 Italian farmers reveals that tolerance toward wolves varies geographically, with northern regions showing less acceptance. Negative intentions were linked to poor knowledge, while use of preventive methods fostered positive beliefs. These findings highlight the need for region‐specific, socially informed wolf management strategies in ...

Northern bobwhites select for native grasses on working grazing land

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern bobwhites in eastern Kentucky selected for native warm‐season grasses at multiple spatial scales in an environment dominated by exotic cool‐season grass cattle forage. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands ...
