Soil Organic Carbon Variability in Tropical Cropping Systems: Interactions With Texture, pH, Macronutrients, and Organic Matter

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and enhancing soil fertility. Its storage and dynamics are particularly significant in agricultural ecosystems of the Peruvian Amazon, where the expansion of agriculture and livestock farming may disrupt the regional carbon balance.

Managing Water Supply Infrastructure in Medium‐Sized Cities to Meet User Demands: A Case Study of Natal, Brazil

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1000-1014, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The article investigates the management of water supply infrastructure in Natal, Brazil, analyzing the alignment between the utility's investments and user demands during the period from 2016 to 2019. Using data from the Customer Service Center (CAU) and official investment information, it was identified that approximately 67% of complaints ...

Hydro‐Insurgency: Weaponization of Water Resources and Infrastructure in Northeast Syria

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 924-938, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This article examines the strategic weaponization of water resources by Turkey‐backed armed groups in Northeast Syria (NES) within the broader context of the Syrian civil war. As the conflict evolved, water infrastructure—dams, rivers, and irrigation systems—became central to warfare, governance, and foreign agendas. The article introduces the

Governing the Ungovernable: Mapping the Development of Groundwater Irrigation and Groundwater Policies in India

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1048-1064, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Groundwater governance is complex due to several externalities associated with groundwater being an invisible natural resource tied to the land with millions of extractors and limited means of exclusion. The paper traces the evolution of groundwater irrigation in India and the corresponding change in groundwater laws and policies to address ...

Modelo multifractal aplicado al riego

open access: yesRevista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2005
Definimos la distribución multifractal binomial, como expresión de una ley de los pequeños números. Estudiamos una forma de evaluación o de diseño de un sistema de distribución en un distrito de riego, al determinar su capacidad de conducción con la flexibilidad deseada, conociendo los parámetros de gasto, frecuencia y tiempo de riego.

Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 886-898, October 2025.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.

Predicting disability pension risk among public‐sector employees in Finland: A new evaluation tool for employers

open access: yesInternational Social Security Review, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 99-120, October/December 2025.
Abstract In this study, we use unique research data to investigate the risk of exit from the workforce on the grounds of the award of a disability pension under the statutory public‐sector pension scheme in Finland. Statistical analysis yields two indicators: the risk for permanent disability retirement and the critical duration of sickness absence ...

In silico analysis of the evolution of root phenotypes during maize domestication in Neolithic soils of Tehuacán

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 339-353, October 2025.
Summary Roots are essential for plant adaptation to changing environments, yet the role of roots in crop domestication remains unclear. This study examined the evolution of root phenotypes from teosinte to maize, a transition resulting in reduced nodal root number (NRN), multiseriate cortical sclerenchyma (MCS), and increased seminal root number (SRN).

Water‐saving strategies in rice farming entail cascading effects in prey–predator interactions across ecosystem boundaries

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2273-2282, September 2025.
These results show that introducing multiple drainage periods in rice fields (i.e. AWD) indirectly hampers terrestrial spider reproduction through limiting the emergence of potential preys from the aquatic to terrestrial boundaries. MSD resulted in a more conciliatory strategy as it largely reduces methane emissions and does not affect predator–prey ...

Functional traits and soil water availability shape competitive interactions in a diploid–polyploid complex

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2332-2345, September 2025.
Our study emphasises that the long‐term fate of polyploids largely depends on water availability, with high polyploids having a competitive advantage in arid environments. This ultimately highlights the role of functional traits in shaping the competitive dynamics between cytotypes.
