Selecting performance indicators for farms and ranches engaged in collaborative agroecosystem research

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The pace of global change complicates the assessment of the outcomes of agricultural management, hindering decision‐making by producers, researchers, and consumers. The Long‐Term Agroecosystem Research Network (LTAR) is in a unique position to advance monitoring to inform decision‐making.

Devastating Rio Doce mining disaster sends shockwaves through earthworm populations

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The Fundão dam breach is considered one of the most severe environmental mining disasters globally, causing widespread changes to the soils of the Rio Doce watershed, one of Brazil's most important catchments. Given the ecological importance of earthworms to soil structure and dynamics, we investigated the richness, abundance, and biomass of ...

Deviation From the Regression of Yield on Nitrogen Fertiliser Rate as a Tool for Detecting Fraud in Organic Banana Production

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Bananas are demanding in nitrogen (N) input; therefore, there is a temptation for organic farmers for using synthetic N fertilisers, which are not allowed under organic standards. The aim of our study was to develop a tool that identifies high banana yields obtained with suspiciously low organic N input.

Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) Stocks of Mineral Arable Soils in Schleswig‐Holstein and Their Future Carbon Storage Potential

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Agricultural soils have the potential for long‐term carbon sequestration by building up and maintaining soil organic carbon (SOC) to mitigate climate crisis. Organic soils under grassland use are often highlighted in this regard.

Challenges in dating blanket peat and implications for understanding its initiation in Ireland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blanket peat is widespread in maritime extra‐tropical environments. Prehistoric land‐use activity was traditionally invoked as the stimulus of blanket peat initiation in the British Isles, but recently, climate has been viewed as the driver of peat formation.

Vegetation and environmental dynamics in the central part of the Kola Peninsula during the past 13.3 ka as reflected by ancient plant DNA on sediments from Lake Imandra

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The first high‐resolution reconstruction of the vegetation and environmental changes during the last ca 13 300 cal a BP in the central part of the Kola Peninsula (NW Russia) was reconstructed based on sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding on sediment core Co1410 from Lake Imandra.

Sensory and chemical profiles of bread derived from the novel semi‐ and wholegrain flour enrichment of Triticum aestivum L. old genotypes with organic stinging nettle

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 104-112, March 2025.
Abstract Background Bread made from refined Triticum aestivum L. flour, a staple food in large parts of the world, is considered a nutrient security risk. Strategies used to enhance the nutritional and functional properties of wheat‐derived food products include the use of semi‐ or wholegrain flour, old genotypes, and enrichment through fortification ...

Analysis of plant science higher education reveals mixed provision which falls short of delivering national priorities

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 78-90, March 2025.
Abstract Background Many reports from the UK government and other organisations highlight a need for a plant aware workforce, and some enumerate specific areas of plant science where there is a skills shortage. We have undertaken a systematic analysis of the content of degree programmes that advertise as teaching plant biology to determine if the UK ...

Yield stability of water yam (Dioscorea alata L) landraces compared to improved varieties across multiple environments and their culinary qualities in the Republic of Benin

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In the Republic of Benin, the fresh yam market has two key periods: a time of high availability from August to February, followed by a scarcity from March to July. Fortunately, when Dioscorea rotundata fresh tubers become scarce and expensive, Dioscorea alata (commonly known as Agaabidjan/ Florido) pervades the market and provides a
