Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Identification of high-yielding and stable Egyptian soybean genotypes for breeding across varied environments

BMC Plant Biology
This study evaluated the phenotypic stability of five Egyptian soybean genotypes (Giza 111, Giza 22, and lines 105, 127, and 129) across six environments comprising three water regimes of irrigation levels of 100% (normal), 75% (moderate drought), and 50%

Genome‐wide identification of the bZIP transcription factor family in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) and expression profiles in response to aluminum stress

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Sainfoin is an important forage legume with potential for cultivation in stressful environments, but its molecular response to aluminum toxicity remains unclear. This study identified 236 basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor genes in sainfoin and analyzed their evolutionary features and regulatory potential.

Effects of legume cover crop and sub-soiling on soil properties and Maize (Zea mays L) growth in semi arid area of Machakos district, Kenya = Efecto del cultivo de cobertua y el subsolado sobre las propiedades del suelo y crecimiento de maiz (Zea mays L.) en la region semi arida de Machakos, Kenia [PDF]

, 2011
Low crop yields in the semi arid areas of Kenya have been attributed to, among other factors, low soil fertility, low farm inputs, labour constraints and inappropriate tillage practices that lead to pulverized soils.

Poor Diet and Oral Cavity Cancer Risk in Smoking and Non‐Smoking Men and Women: An Analysis of Three US Cohorts

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Oral cavity cancer (OCC) incidence is rising among non‐smokers and younger individuals without traditional risk factors. While carcinogenic exposures such as tobacco and alcohol are well studied, the association between unhealthy dietary patterns and OCC has been minimally explored.

Multiobjective Simulation–Optimization of Crop Allocation and Water Resources in Canal Command Areas Using Genetic Algorithms

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops an integrated simulation–optimization framework for sustainable crop allocation and water resource management in the Bargarh Canal Command (BCC), eastern India. Efficient irrigation allocation remains a critical challenge due to competing demands, groundwater–surface water interactions and environmental constraints ...

Maize Yield, Water Productivity and Economic Analysis Under Different Irrigation and Nitrogen Management Strategies Using Field Data and CERES‐Maize Model

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is limited integrated evaluation of nitrogen (N) and irrigation management strategies for improving maize yield and productivity using crop models. The effects of N and irrigation on maize yield and productivity under centre pivot (CPI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) using the CERES‐Maize model were investigated. N treatments were (

Environmental benefits from carbon sequestration, canola production, and zero‐tillage adoption on Saskatchewan farms

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from crop production contribute to anthropogenic climate change, while agricultural soils also sequester atmospheric carbon. Direct measurement of soil organic carbon (SOC) is limited by high sampling costs and the vast spatial extent of farmland.
