Honey as a Natural Flavorful Product: A Comprehensive Review of Its Potential Biological Activities and Recent Studies

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Health impacts of honey. ABSTRACT Honey is a natural and nutritious product of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) with low water content. Its color ranges from white to amber, with taste varying accordingly. The chemical form and viscosity of honey depend on its composition.

Hydrological Conditions Outweigh Soil Texture, Temperature, and Terrain in German Agricultural Land Use

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 2, Page 243-254, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self‐sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increasing ambitions for nature restoration and green energy. Meanwhile, the overall agricultural area shrinks due to land sealing.

Disentangling the Roles of Microbial Traits and Mineral Protection in Regulating Temperature Sensitivity of Soil Carbon Decomposition in Eroded and Depositional Agricultural Soils

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition (Q10) governs the fate of soil carbon under global warming. Although erosion redistributes soil carbon at scales comparable to the terrestrial carbon sink, how erosion reshapes Q10 across large regional scales remains elusive.

Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from a tropical sandy loam using oil palm empty fruit bunch biochar and compost amendments

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract The role of biochar in mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from tropical soils, especially when combined with compost, is still not adequately researched. This study evaluated the effects of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) biochar applied at 10 and 20 t ha−1 (B10 and B20), compost at 20 t ha−1 (CP20) and in combination (B10CP20 and ...

Plant biomass nitrogen and effects on the risk of nitrate leaching of intercrops under organic farming in Eastern Austria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Data on the potential of intercrops to reduce soil nitrate contents, on their N accumulation and biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) are lacking for organic farming in the dry, pannonic region of Eastern Austria.

A Classification Framework for Carbon Sequestration Potential: Modelling Soil Carbon Pools With Environmental Data

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
Based on spatial mapping of SOC and MAOC, this study integrated two different soil carbon sequestration potential assessments into a unified classification framework. The resulting four categories identified priority areas for carbon farming and soil protection, providing a practical tool to support targeted land management and effective climate ...
