Integrated Soil Salinisation Management Strategies in Agriculture

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This review synthesises integrated water, agronomic, and biochemical strategies for managing soil salinisation, presenting a decision framework for selecting cost‐effective amendments based on initial soil assessment and long‐term sustainability monitoring. ABSTRACT Soil salinisation poses a global threat to agricultural sustainability, affecting about

Synergistic effects of beneficial microbial inoculants and SMS-amendments on improving soil properties and Pinus seedling growth in degraded soils

Frontiers in Microbiology
Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a promising organic amendment for remediating degraded soils, yet its effectiveness is often limited by poor compost maturity and stability.

Snapshots of Motion: A Novel Structural Intermediate Reveals Conserved Dynamics in Archaeal DNA Ligases

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 6, Page 1245-1258, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We present the first x‐ray crystallographic structural evidence of an archaeal DNA ligase showing the AMP covalent adduct together with further cofactor hydrolysis, capturing a transient intermediary in the first step of the ligation reaction, triggered by the pyrophosphate hydrolysis.

Multivariate trait profiling and genetic diversity in a global foxtail millet germplasm panel

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1077-1088, June 2026.
Four elite foxtail millet groups discovered from 260 accessions: perfect for breeding climate‐resilient, high‐yielding dual‐purpose crops. Abstract Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), known for its climate resilience and dual‐purpose utility, is underutilized in breeding programs despite its agricultural potential.

Distal Marine Mercury Signals in Peak Late Paleozoic Ice Age: Implications for Aeolian Versus Volcanic Inputs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract An investigation of the relationships among large igneous province (LIP), carbon cycling, and climate change is central to understanding Earth system. During Glacial III, the most intense phase of Late Paleozoic Ice Age, the influence of coeval LIP on the carbon cycle and climate remains debated.

The Heterogeneous Effects of Epichloë and Rhizophagus irregularis on the Physiological and Rhizosphere Microbial Community of Festuca rubra

Plants
In nature, a significant number of plant species form symbiotic associations with microorganisms, with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and endophytic fungi being two prevalent groups of these partners.

Water‐Regulated Carbon Cost–Benefit Drives Divergent Effective Rooting Depth Across the Greening Loess Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Large‐scale vegetation restoration is reshaping belowground systems globally, yet root dynamics remain poorly quantified, limiting predictions of ecosystem resilience to hydroclimatic variability. Rooting depth reflects a trade‐off between carbon benefits and respiratory costs, but assessment is hampered by soil‐moisture uncertainty and weak ...
