Exploring variations in potential carbon and nitrogen mineralization in managed grasslands among the diversity of soils in North Carolina

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Under steady–state conditions, potential nitrogen mineralization in soil under grasslands is closely tied to potential carbon mineralization. This study provides supporting evidence that field–specific nitrogen fertilizer recommendations could be indicated by using a simple and rapid analysis of soil–test biological activity.

Seasonal Changes in the Soil Microbiome on Chernozem Soil in Response to Tillage, Fertilization, and Cropping System

Agronomy
Soil microbial communities are crucial for ecosystem services, soil fertility, and the resilience of agroecosystems. This study investigated how long-term (31 years) agronomic practices—tillage, NPK fertilization, and cropping system—along with measured ...

Native grass breeding: Priority needs and strategic approaches

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The key needs and breeding strategies of native grass. Abstract Native grasses possess extensive ecological adaptability, such as cold, drought, and salt tolerance, and tolerance to poor soil conditions. They play a crucial role in ensuring food security and ecological security.

Soil respiration, microbial biomass, and stoichiometry within riparian buffers and adjacent land use

Scientific Reports
Terrestrial ecosystems exhibit varied land uses as a result of both anthropogenic activities and natural processes. These variations in land use alter plant composition, soil characteristics, topography, and management practices, and hence lead to ...

Functionally complementary bacterial inoculant coordinates arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve Angelica sinensis root yield and quality

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Comprehensive understanding of how diverse PGPR strains enhance the rhizosphere microenvironment remains a considerable challenge. Here, we provide experimental evidence that a functionally synergistic composite microbial formulation can markedly enhance growth performance and improve the quality attributes in Angelica sinensis.

Navigating the future of nano‐pesticides: A perspective on design, efficacy, mechanisms, and environmental stewardship

iMeta, EarlyView.
Nano‐pesticides are driving a paradigm shift toward sustainable plant protection. This review systematically synthesizes recent advances across four interconnected domains: (i) intelligent formulation design for targeted delivery and controlled release; (ii) interfacial behavior regulation to enhance foliar deposition; (iii) multi‐omics elucidation of ...

Impact of Irrigation Scheduling on Corn Yield and Water Balance in Sandy Soils of Central Minnesota Using the EPIC Model.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient irrigation scheduling is critical in sandy soils to achieve optimum yield and maximum net benefit with minimum environmental concerns. The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model was used to study the impacts of autoirrigation of corn on crop yield and soil water balance during 2019–2021 at −300 and −450 kPa for loamy ...
