Short‐Term Response of Soil Health Indicators to Cover Crop Management in Small‐Scale Vegetable Cropping Systems

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A 2‐year field experiment (2022–2023) was conducted on a clay loam soil in Quebec, Canada, to evaluate the short‐term effect of spring‐seeded cover crop termination methods on soil health indicators. A mixture of field peas (Pisum sativum L.) with oats (Avena sativa L.) in 2022 and with faba beans (Vicia faba L.) in 2023 was seeded in early ...

The Effect of Summer Cover Cropping on Soil Health Is Limited by the Quantity of Carbon Inputs in a Winter Dominant Low Rainfall Environment

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The effects of summer cover crops on cash crop yields and soil health in semi‐arid cropping systems in southern Australia remain largely unexplored. A study was conducted in Western Australia to investigate cover crop impacts on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, soil water, and mineral nitrogen (N) and cash crop yield.

Closed genomes of commercial inoculant rhizobia provide a blueprint for management of legume inoculation

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Rhizobia are soil bacteria capable of establishing symbiosis within legume root nodules, where they reduce atmospheric N2 into ammonia and supply it to the plant for growth.

Ecological Processes Underpinning Microbial Variability in Archean Granitoids Beneath the Deccan Traps: Evidence From Deep Drilling in Koyna, India

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Deep biosphere hosted by Archean granitoid basement of Deccan Traps showed depth‐wise microbial partitioning. Limited dispersion and variable selection control community assembly. Fewer abundant bacterial taxa were ubiquitous, while large numbers of rare taxa remained localized.

From pathogens to partners: temporal and biogeographical patterns in fungal associations of alien trees

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3381-3395, June 2026.
Summary Alien trees reshape belowground fungal communities, but the factors governing the balance between mutualists and pathogens remain unclear. We tested whether residence time, mycorrhizal type, and biogeographical origin shape this balance, and whether alien stands differ from native vegetation. We sampled soils beneath 73 alien tree species in 48

Chromosome‐Level Genome and Organ‐Specific Transcriptome of Alnus glutinosa Uncover Lineage‐Specific Innovations in Root Nodule Symbiosis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3003-3021, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Alnus glutinosa is one of only three lineages within the order Fagales capable of establishing root nodule symbiosis (RNS). Although a fragmented genome assembly of A. glutinosa was previously available, its limited quality, combined with the lack of comprehensive transcriptomic resources, has constrained in‐depth comparative and functional ...

Effects of Exogenous Hormones on Endophytic Rhizobial Proliferation and Growth Promotion in Alfalfa

Agronomy
Endophytic rhizobia have the functions of dissolving organic phosphorus, secreting auxin, fixing nitrogen, and promoting growth. The proliferation of endophytic rhizobia in alfalfa and their symbiotic nodulation with alfalfa seedlings are regulated by ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Modulates Iron Distribution and Vacuolar Iron Transporter Expression in Tomato, Whereas Iron Limitation Reduces Mycorrhization

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3290-3305, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved highly efficient strategies to maintain iron (Fe) homeostasis. In this study, we investigate the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis on the Fe‐deficiency response and ionomic profile of tomato plants, as well as how Fe availability affects AM symbiosis.

Response of cereals to intercropping with non‐food crops in tropical and subtropical regions: A meta‐analysis

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Intercropping cereals with non‐food intercrops (NFICs) provides a means to enhance cereal productivity while providing additional benefits such as improved soil health or forage production. We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the effect of NFICs on cereal yields, cereal nitrogen uptake, and striga (Striga spp.) infestation, using 874 ...
