Effects of Biochar and Maize Roots on CO2 Emissions and Microbial Biomass C in Loess Soils

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Refractory substances such as biochar and labile substances such as dead fine and coarse roots play important roles in soil organic matter dynamics and have key ecological functions. However, interactions between these substances have only rarely been studied.

Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is,

Winegrowers' Perceptions and Adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices and Technologies: A Case Study in Piedmont, Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

Alleles From Crop Wild Relatives Accumulated by Long‐Term Adaptation to Low‐Input Environments Contribute to Yield Advantages in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasingly variable climate conditions are affecting crop production, leading to greater yield fluctuations, which in turn are impacting global food security. Introducing alleles from regions where the expected stress conditions occur, so‐called exotic alleles, could serve as a means to mitigate these effects. We examined the value of exotic

Assessment of Soils along the Toposequence of Tsokundi River in Wukari LGA, Taraba State, Northeastern Nigeria [PDF]

Bulgarian Journal of Soil Science
Soils along the Toposequence of Tsokundi River in Wukari LGA of Taraba State, Nigeria were studied with the aim of characterizing them for sustainable crop production. Three soil units (Upper, Middle and Lower slopes) were identified in the area.

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its

Physical land suitability assessment for sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) production in Western Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Land is a non‐renewable resource that has a finite quantity, and efficient use of this resource is imperative for food security, development, and adaptation to climatic change. In this regard, land suitability analysis is a fundamental decision‐support system that ensures the allocation of this resource for an optimal production agenda while ...
