Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

PLOS ONE, 2017 In recent years, North American prairie vegetation has served as a design model for highly attractive, low-cost and low-maintenance plantings in German urban green spaces. Where mixed-planting techniques, gravel mulch toppings and non-selective maintenance techniques such as mowing are used, prairie plantings are considered to be cost-effective ...

Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture: A Farm‐Level Efficiency Analysis
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited.

Rangelands, 2001 vegetation that is allowed to naturally decompose isn’t realized by many ranchers and some range mangers. Mulch plays a critical role in soil-water relationships that is often overlooked. This, coupled with current drought conditions in the southwestern United States justifies a consideration of the importance of mulch on rangelands.

Profits, Image, and Sustainability in Plastic Waste Recycling Behavior
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plastic waste is an environmental and public health concern. In the agricultural sector, plastic waste handling is largely unregulated. Using survey data from horticultural firms, we investigate a previously unexplored relationship between a firm's decision to voluntarily discard recyclable plastic containers and the firm's perception about ...

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Microwave‐driven Ru@α‐Fe2O3 selectively upgrades real‐world post‐consumer mixed polyolefin waste into light olefins with high gas yields and olefin selectivity at markedly reduced temperatures compared with conventional thermal pyrolysis. Strong tolerance of additives and feed heterogeneity highlights an energy‐efficient and scalable route for circular

Evaluation of Different Mulching Methods and Its Impact on Soil Microbiota
Journal of Pure and Applied MicrobiologyConventional agricultural practices rely on the usage of synthetic herbicides to control weed proliferation in the absence of mulching, potentially leading to soil dysbiosis.
