Characterization of cocoa butter diversity in Theobroma cacao L. in Trinidad.: implications for genetic improvement and chocolate quality

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa butter, the lipid fraction of Theobroma cacao L. seeds, is essential for chocolate quality and functionality, yet the full extent of natural variation in cocoa butter traits across cacao genetic diversity remains poorly characterized.

Simulated Trampling Disturbance Alters Biocrust Microbial Communities and Soil Functions: A Container‐Based Mesocosm Experiment

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Application of Organic Superabsorbent Cellulosic Polymers (OSCPs) and Cyanobacteria on Reduction of Aeolian Losses

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

Tree Species Configuration Shapes Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Microbial Communities in Uneven‐Aged Multilayered Chinese Fir–Broadleaved Mixed Forests

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantations in southern China are often limited by phosphorus (P) availability, constraining productivity and sustainable management. We hypothesized that multi‐species, multilayered, uneven‐aged configurations would enhance soil P availability by regulating P fractions and microbial P transformation. This

Linking Hydrodynamic Transport and Nutrient Fluxes to Land‐Use Patterns: A Predictive Framework for Soil Conservation in a Mountainous Catchment

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of land use on total suspended solids (TSS) flux and nutrient leaching within a mixed land‐use catchment. The primary objective was to enhance predictive accuracy for soil erosion and water quality by assessing hydrologic drivers critical for managing degradation risks.
