Water Availability and Hydraulic Strategies Control Leaf Thermoregulation and Damage During Heat Stress and Recovery in Temperate Tree Species

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6296-6310, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Heatwaves are intensifying worldwide, often coinciding with high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and soil drought. Yet, how temperate tree species tolerate these combined stresses remains elusive. Using single‐tree gas‐exchange chambers, we examined the response of leaf gas exchange and thermoregulation of three broadleaved tree species to a ...

Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 11, Page 6348-6364, 30 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Water content at permanent wilting point: An approach for rewetting air-dried soils, considering the effect of hysteresis

open access: yes
Bachelor Thesis of Matthias Lang, conducted at the University of Basel in collaboration with Agroscope. Summary Estimating plant-available water in soil at permanent wilting point is challenging. To advance the current state of knowledge, measurements traditionally taken with the pressure plate apparatus can be compared to new data obtained using ...

Research on Weakly Supervised Deep Learning Model for Semantic Segmentation of Pest and Disease Regions in Durian Blind Spots

open access: yeseFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Durian is a high‐value economic crop, which presents challenges in the orchards, such as complex terrain, significant canopy shading, and blind spots in manual inspections. These blind spots often become the key sources of pest and disease spread, which requires the drone‐based intelligent monitoring solution capable of operating stably in complex ...

Determinants of Food Wasting Behavior: The Role of Organic Food Consumption and Environmental Literacy

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Among 1025 adults, organic food consumption was associated with both positive waste‐reduction practices (buying as needed and planning shopping) and a greater likelihood of discarding unpalatable foods, suggesting a potential green licensing effect.

Scaling and Uncertainty in Soil Moisture Modelling: A Probabilistic Deep Learning Perspective

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
A probabilistic Gaussian Mixture Long Short‐Term Memory framework is used to investigate soil moisture dynamics across the continental United States using meteorological forcings and physiographic attributes. Predictions are evaluated at unseen International Soil Moisture Network sites to ensure realistic regional transfer.

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesiMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Field Studies on the Influence of High‐Voltage Direct Transmission Underground Cables on Soils Along the SuedLink Route in Southwest Germany

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 479-498, August 2026.
During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention

Sewage Sludge and Cashew Bagasse Biochars Promote Changes in Selected Physical Attributes Related to the Structure of Degraded Dryland Soil

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 460-478, August 2026.
This study evaluated biochars from co‐pyrolysis of sewage sludge and cashew residues on physical quality of a degraded loamy sand soil. SPB applied at 20 Mg ha−1 reduced bulk density by 7.74%, whereas most porosity attributes were driven by soil reconsolidation rather than biochar. Aggregate stability varied with biochar type, with SPB promoting larger
