ABSTRACT There is limited integrated evaluation of nitrogen (N) and irrigation management strategies for improving maize yield and productivity using crop models. The effects of N and irrigation on maize yield and productivity under centre pivot (CPI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) using the CERES‐Maize model were investigated. N treatments were (

ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...

Construction and Application of a Novel C‐Vine Copula‐Based Multi‐Variate Ecological Drought Index
ABSTRACT A comprehensive ecological drought index capturing vegetation growth conditions and meteorological–hydrological variability is essential for assessing ecological drought and optimizing water resource management. This study selected soil moisture (SM), actual evapotranspiration (ET), land surface temperature (LST) and leaf area index (LAI) to ...

ABSTRACT Background Microplastic (MP) contamination in agroecosystems is an increasingly recognized environmental concern, whereas its polymer‐specific impacts on plant growth and nutritional composition remain poorly understood. Aim Our study aimed to evaluate how polymer type and concentration of MPs directly affect plant growth, physiological traits,
