Straw Return Combined With Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Improve Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency by Regulating Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Spring Maize

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11142-11158, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Straw return (SR) and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application can improve soil structure, enhance soil water retention, and promote crop growth. However, the mechanisms through which SR and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application jointly modulate soil physical and chemical properties remain unclear.

Comparative Effectiveness of Different Mulch Types and Application Rates for Reducing Runoff and Sediment Yield on Forest Skid Trails

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11484-11499, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rehabilitation of skid trails following timber harvesting is critical for preserving forest soil integrity, particularly within ecologically sensitive ecosystems such as the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although mulching is widely recommended for erosion control, field evidence comparing different locally ...

Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Soil Shear Strength in Gully Erosion at Different Developmental Segments of Subalpine Meadows

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11565-11582, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

Deep Straw Incorporation With Supplemental Fertilization Improves Subsoil Quality and Maize Productivity

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11628-11637, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Deep straw incorporation is widely advocated for enhancing crop yields and improving agroecosystem functions and services. However, how this practice interacts with different fertilization strategies synergistically to influence soil quality and maize productivity remains unclear.

Advancing Thermotolerance in Beans: Integrating Physiology, Genomics, and Breeding for Climate Adaptation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

A Review on Polymer Bonding Through Interdiffusion and Role of Deformation‐Acceleration

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 9, September 2026.
Polymer bonding is reframed through deformation‐induced bonding, an energy‐efficient route that joins polymer films without conventional heat‐intensive or adhesive‐based processing. By comparing established bonding methods with deformation‐induced bonding, this review highlights potential energy and cost savings while identifying opportunities across ...
