Deep Soil Drying Increases Dryland Apple Tree's Eco‐Physiological Sensitivity to Atmospheric Drought

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Dryland tree survival critically depends on deep soil water (DSW), particularly during dry spells. However, DSW is often limited and can be exhausted during periods of active tree growth, as recharge from precipitation is minimal. The eco‐physiological responses of trees to compound droughts (i.e., combined deep soil and atmospheric droughts ...

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2628-2641, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Inter‐row flowering strips enhance pest suppression and improve tree physiological performance in pine nurseries

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
To reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides and improve planting‐stock quality, nursery managers may consider integrating perennial flowering strips into inter‐rows, particularly under comparable pine nursery conditions. This nature‐based intervention was associated with reduced sap‐sucking pest pressure, probably mediated by increased natural enemy ...

Water Footprint for Rice Cultivation in the Brazilian Semi‐Arid: Subsidies for Better Irrigation Practices and Sustainability

open access: yesJAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Water Footprint is a key indicator for assessing agricultural water use in semi‐arid regions. This study quantified and analyzed the Water Footprint of rice cultivation in the Terra Nova and Guaribas basins, Brazilian semi‐arid, using meteorological data from 2010 to 2019.
