Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The productivity and quality of grain crops in semiarid environments is often affected by drought, which is likely to accentuate due to predicted climate changes. Wild pea (Pisum fulvum Sibth. & Smith) accessions are known to harbour useful allelic diversity for drought responses.

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Restoration in drylands is challenging because of harsh climates, requiring creative methods and organisms like biocrusts for restoration of degraded lands. Biocrusts are thin, coherent soil surface layers prevalent in drylands, engineered, and inhabited by communities of organisms including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria ...
