Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Hop production in a low‐trellis espalier system in the subtropical environment

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hop cultivation (Humulus lupulus L.) is expanding into new regions, particularly under subtropical conditions. Traditionally, hop plants are trained using high‐trellis systems; however, a low‐trellis espalier structure may reduce establishment costs, facilitate phytosanitary management, and improve harvest uniformity.

Rainfall‐Induced Physical Crusting Is Associated With Near‐Surface Structural Degradation and Strain Localization During Drying in Loess Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rainfall‐induced physical crusting is associated with degradation of near‐surface soil structure, but its pore‐scale structural and mechanical evolution during drying remains poorly resolved. We combined time‐resolved X‐ray computed tomography (XCT), digital volume correlation (DVC), and surface‐aligned stratification to track pore ...

2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one is a lead inhibitor of Cuscuta campestris early development: structure–activity relationships of o‐aminophenol‐derived allelochemicals

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Phenoxazinones caused differential types of phytotoxic effects in C. campestris early development. APO is a coherent lead inhibiting C. campestris germination and early seedling growth. Abstract BACKGROUND 2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one (synonym: questiomycin A; abbreviated as APO or Phx‐3) is a naturally occurring phenoxazinone‐type allelochemical with ...

Riparian Failure: Damming and Flow Stabilization Exclude Cottonwood Colonization Along a Dryland River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Marias River flows from Glacier National Park through northcentral Montana, and into the Missouri River. Annual flows gradually declined from 1902 to 2024 (~3.2%/decade) and the 1952 Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell reservoir were operated to attenuate peak flows and stabilize downstream flows year‐round.

Effects of gut passage on the germination of seeds ingested by didelphid marsupials in a neotropical savanna

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2013
We analyzed the effects that passage through the guts of seven didelphid species had on the seed germination of 10 plant species. This study was conducted in an area of riparian woodland in a cerrado (savanna) reserve in southeastern Brazil.
