Melatonin Mitigates Salt Stress in Wheat Seedlings by Modulating Polyamine Metabolism
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Melatonin, a small molecular weight indoleamine molecule, is involved in various biological processes and responses to environmental cues in plants. However, its function in abiotic stress response and the underlying mechanisms is less clear.

Establishing soil loss tolerance: an overview
Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2016 Soil loss tolerance is a criterion for establishing if a soil is potentially subjected to erosion risk, productivity loss and if a river presents downstream over-sedimentation or other off-site effects are present at basin scale.

Tolerable versus actual soil erosion rates in Europe [PDF]
, 2009 Erosion is a major threat to soil resources in Europe, and may impair their ability to deliver a range of ecosystem goods and services. This is reflected by the European Commission's Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection, which recommends an indicator ...

Water Erosion in Oxisols under Coffee Cultivation
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2018 Water erosion is one of the main environmental impacts of land use. When soil and water losses occur, nutrients essential for the growth and maintenance of plants are removed, with harmful outcomes on the sustainability of agriculture and the environment.

Estimating annual soil carbon loss in agricultural peatland soils using a nitrogen budget approach. [PDF]
, 2015 Around the world, peatland degradation and soil subsidence is occurring where these soils have been converted to agriculture. Since initial drainage in the mid-1800s, continuous farming of such soils in the California Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (the ...
