Synergy‐based crop suitability assessment for agrivoltaics: An easy‐to‐use traffic‐light framework for temperate climates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1839-1852, September 2026.
Climate change and the growing demand for renewable energy are putting increasing pressure on land, as food production and solar power generation often compete for the same areas. In this study, we assessed which temperate‐region crops are best suited for agrivoltaics, a technology combining farming and solar electricity production on the same land. We

Mechanistic role of biochar as a geobiochemical amendment: Mitigating abiotic stress and enhancing soil–plant interactions

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and heavy metal contamination, pose escalating threats to global food security, challenges further exacerbated by climate change and progressive soil degradation. As a strategic geochemical amendment, biochar is increasingly proposed to enhance soil resilience and agricultural sustainability ...

Hydrophilic Thiol‐Functionalized Silver Nanoparticles as Bio‐Stimulants in Quercus Pubescens Seedling Development

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 33, 1 September 2026.
Surface‐functionalized hydrophilic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs‐3MPS, where 3MPS = sodium 3‐mercapto‐1‐propanesulfonate) were synthesized and characterized. Colloidal AgNPs‐3MPS were tested on Quercus pubescens seedlings to link nanomaterial hydrophilicity and loading with plant responses. Results showed a dose‐dependent effects relevant for sustainable

Response Surface Method‐Optimized Microwave‐Assisted Extraction and LC–MS/MS Profiling of Bioactive Compounds Wild Edible Arisaema schimperianum Tuber

SEPARATION SCIENCE PLUS, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.
Response surface optimization identified 60% microwave power and 40 s as a balanced condition for recovering bioactive compounds from Arisaema schimperianum tuber. LC–MS/MS profiling revealed diverse metabolites, while freeze‐drying best preserved thermolabile compounds, highlighting an effective strategy for maximizing extraction efficiency and ...

Physicochemical Properties, Microstructure, and Sensory Analysis of Compression‐Molded Snacks Based on Modified Starch Produced by Heat‐Moisture Treatment

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sweep potato starch was modified by heat‐moisture treatment to produce snacks. Snacks were produced by compression‐molding using pressure between 1–5 tons. Modified starch reduced crystallinity and enhanced texture, yielding stable products. Sensory attributes of snacks were positively correlated with the starch modification. ABSTRACT The transition to
