Pollinators maintain biodiversity in assembling plant communities

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Most angiosperms are animal‐pollinated, and animal pollination increases fitness in many plant species. Although it is less well‐studied than other factors, plant biodiversity may be maintained by pollinators and the associated seedling recruitment that occurs after fertilization. We experimentally applied three levels of pollinator visitation

Soil respiration induces co-emission of greenhouse gases and methylated selenium from cold-region Mollisols: Significance for selenium deficiency

Environment International
Mollisols rich in natural organic matter are a significant sink of carbon (C) and selenium (Se). Climate warming and agricultural expansion to the cold Mollisol regions may enhance soil respiration and biogeochemical cycles, posing a growing risk of soil

Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotope Variation in Semi‐Arid Woody Plant Species Growing in Managed and Natural Settings Across Southern California

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Landscape planners in semi‐arid and arid regions often plant native shrubs to reduce water and fertilizer use; however, landscape management practices might alter shrub resource use and make them more dependent on irrigation and fertilization. Our objective was to assess whether water and nutrient subsidies in managed landscapes affected plant

Drainage and Land Use Govern Soil Organic Carbon Stocks and Their Mid‐Infrared Spectral Expression

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Land use and soil drainage influence soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics by impacting organic matter accumulation, decomposition and redox conditions. A total of 158 A horizon samples were collected from Alfisols under forest, pasture, and crop‐pasture rotation. The soil samples were scanned using a MIR spectrometer (4000–400 cm−1).

Effect of soil health management on soil water storage for climate resilience

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Soil health (SH) management has been promoted to improve climate resilience across agricultural systems. An on‐farm field study was conducted to (1) evaluate the soil water storage (SWS) in SH and conventional (CV) management systems across four paired sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin and (2) to assess the response of these management systems ...

Soil, competition, and niche shifts shape the floral mosaic of an annual plant diversity hotspot

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Premise Plant species with affinity for harsh substrates often have well‐defined edaphic (soil) niches and are ideal for exploring questions of community assembly. Vertic clay soils are chemically and physically challenging to plant establishment and productivity, and annual plant communities associated with these soils of the San Joaquin ...

Effects of Different Tillage Systems on Soil Properties and Crop Yield in a Mollisol After 9, 22, and 25 Years of Implementation in Chapingo, Mexico

Soil Systems
Sustainable soil management is crucial for balancing agricultural productivity and soil health in Mollisols under long-term tillage systems. This study evaluated the effects of no-tillage (NT), minimum conservation tillage (MCT), and conventional tillage

Soil erosion and corn yield in a cultivated catchment of the Chinese Mollisol region.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Evaluation of soil redistribution rates and influence on crop yield in agricultural catchments is very important information, which can provide a scientific basis for arrangement of soil and water conservation measures and sustainable crop production. In

Balances de elementos en un agroecosistema de caña de azúcar: I. Balance de nitrógeno [PDF]

Tropicultura, 2005
In a tropical mollisol cropped with sugar cane the annual nitrogen balance was quantified taken into account the main i) inputs, ii) outputs and iii) transference of the element (N-NO3 + N-NH4) in the plant and soil subsystems.
