Vegetation change impacts on moisture recycling are closely linked to plant water uptake strategies in the Loess-covered region in China

Geoderma
Understanding how vegetation change affects moisture recycling is crucial for comprehending land–atmosphere coupling. Constrained by moisture and isotope mass balances, we quantified the contributions of evaporation (fE) and transpiration moisture (fT ...

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates
