Drought poses major risks to the functioning of agronomic grasslands. We assessed the yield response of four species in monocultures and a mixture across a drought gradient. All yields were negatively impacted, but mixtures showed the highest annual yields. A gradient approach enabled a more detailed understanding plant responses to drought.

Wheat and faba bean intercropping and cultivar impacts on morphology, disease, and yield
Abstract Modern agriculture relies heavily on synthetic fertilizer and pesticide inputs. Pressure is increasing to find alternatives that reduce such inputs. In comparison to monocultures, intercropping can reduce plant diseases and increase yield, thereby reducing inputs and maximizing land use efficiency.

Research process and key insights of the study. Summary This study examined three collaborative scenarios for the implementation of a high‐level aseptic filling machine in small‐scale food processing for improved food safety in short food supply chains. A two‐stage research design was implemented, based on an exploration and evaluation phase.

Nanohaloarchaea as beneficiaries of xylan degradation by haloarchaea
Using samples of natural evaporitic brines and anthropogenic solar salterns, we describe genome‐inferred trophic relations in two extremely halophilic xylan‐degrading three‐member consortia. We succeeded in genome assembly and closure for all members of both xylan‐degrading cultures and elucidated the respective food chains within these consortia.

We studied 11 cool‐water adapted freshwater fish populations in communities dominated by cold‐water adapted species to investigate changes in the relative importance of cool‐water fish during the last 30 years of rapid warming in high latitude lakes.

A method to estimate resource use by crop systems to meet food needs is proposed. PLATE is a proxy of the per capita intake of energy‐ and nutrient‐rich vegetables. Water, energy, and area use of two urban systems (open field and plant factories with artificial lighting) are compared. The method can support decisions at farm level and in urban‐regional

Abstract Density dependence is likely to act as a regulatory mechanism in fish stocks that are recovering from overfishing. In general, density dependence in fish stocks is assumed to only occur in reproduction and early life stages and is therefore usually modelled as a stock‐recruitment relationship.

The effect of hunger state on hypothalamic functional connectivity in response to food cues
In response to high caloric food images, we found higher hypothalamic functional connectivity, in the sated compared to the fasted state, with brain regions involved in reward and gustatory processing and executive function. Furthermore, we found reduced functional connectivity between hypothalamus and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in persons ...

Abstract Stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) is a species of great conservation concern throughout its range. Over the past century, it has experienced a dramatic decline in abundance and distribution in the Black Sea basin. Information regarding the genetic structure of the species is very limited in the region, despite its crucial importance for ...
