JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Improving feed quality, availability, and cost‐effectiveness is a big challenge for livestock to ensure animal‐derived food for nutritional security. The aim of the study was to find out how some natural ensiling additives affect physicochemical properties, proximate composition, microbial population, in vitro fermentation ...

Negative soil moisture-precipitation feedback in dry and wet regions
, 2018 Soil moisture-precipitation (SM-P) feedback significantly influences the terrestrial water and energy cycles. However, the sign of the feedback and the associated physical mechanism have been debated, leaving a research gap regarding global water and ...

Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key indicator of land degradation and soil functioning. It plays an essential role in nutrient cycling, soil structure, and long‐term agroecosystem resilience. The variations of surface cover, soil moisture and soil texture heterogeneity will affect the accuracy of SOM remote sensing mapping. This study developed

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.Abstract This study focuses on characterising a strong and unexpected anomaly observed during an electromagnetic induction (EMI) survey conducted on the chalk cliff plateau at Sainte‐Marguerite‐sur‐Mer, in the Normandy region, France. The site was selected for a long‐term study of chalk cliff coastal erosion that began in 2017 and has been studied for ...

Nonlinear interactive effects of temperature and soil moisture on plant biomass and carbon fluxes
Oikos, EarlyView.Climate warming is affecting plant growth and CO2 fluxes in high‐latitude ecosystems. However, soil moisture – and how it responds to warming – can alter the shape of the relationship between temperature and both plant performance and ecosystem processes. We conducted a microcosm experiment to test the interactive effects of temperature, soil moisture,

Oikos, EarlyView.Biodiversity is known to influence the performance of coexisting species and has been proposed as a management tool to enhance the resilience and functioning of plant communities under drought. However, experimental studies to disentangle the roles of phylogenetic and functional diversity as drivers of plant performance remain extremely scarce.
