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

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Comparative Effects of Superhydrophobic Sand and Plastic Mulches on Growth and Yield of Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annum L.) under Arid Environments

HortScience
Superhydrophobic sand (SHS) is a plastic-free mulching technology that reduces surface evaporation of water from irrigated soils. Here, we present the results of two experimental field trials conducted in the 2019–20 and 2021–22 cropping seasons ...

Seeding in single species aggregations promotes evenness of diverse shrub species in Banksia woodlands in the first year of growth

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Species interactions are an overlooked yet important determinant of plant community assembly in ecological restoration. Specifically, they may determine species that are helped or hindered by neighboring plants during community assembly. Evidence suggests that intraspecific aggregation in combination with interspecific segregation

Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

Marketable yield quantity and quality of leek and residual soil mineral nitrogen in relation to nitrogen fertilization

, 2019
In Flanders threshold values of soil mineral nitrogen (Nmin) in the soil profile (0-90 cm) in autumn are used in legislation to judge fertilization practices and evaluate the nitrate (NO3-) leaching risk during winter.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

Improvement stability of earth canal banks using geo-technical approaches

Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2019
Splash erosion is one of the common erosional features, which is happening in the steep slope of sidewall of earth structures. Accordingly, it is necessary to use erosion control procedures in some sections of the route, especially in the intersection ...

Effect of plant population on crop growth, floral biomass, and cannabinoid yield in field‐grown hemp

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was recently re‐legalized in the United States and cultivated for various purposes, including floral cannabidiol (CBD), grain, and fiber. Due to prohibition of hemp for a century, research supporting production guidelines, including plant density effects on CBD production, remains limited.
