Co‐Application of Biochar and Organic Matter With Synthetic Fertilisers Improves Nitrogen Use Efficiency, Rice Yield and Benefit–Cost Ratio: A Meta‐Analysis

GCB Bioenergy
Optimising the efficiency of applied nitrogen (N) fertilisers is essential to sustain agricultural systems. Substantial N losses continue through leaching, volatilisation, and denitrification processes.

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

The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

The hidden potential of saprotrophic fungi in arable soil: Patterns of short-term stimulation by organic amendments

, 2020
Saprotrophic fungi are abundant in soils of (semi-)natural ecosystems, where they play a major role in ecosystem functioning. On the contrary, saprotrophic fungal biomass is remarkably low in intensively managed soils and this can have a negative impact ...
