Can surface treatments and climate matching enhance restoration success in the Sonoran Desert?
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant communities in arid ecosystems through seeding is a critical yet often unsuccessful strategy due to severe environmental stressors, including degraded soils, low and variable rainfall, and seed predation. Objectives To improve restoration outcomes, we examined the influence of seed mix types and soil surface

Selection of native Atlantic Forest species for urban greening under air pollution stress
Abstract Introduction The Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) is widely used to identify pollution‐tolerant species for afforestation; however, it was not designed to account for traits such as pollutant accumulation or biomass storage, which are also relevant for evaluating environmental resilience.

This graphical abstract shows the overall study design where dewatered wastewater sludge samples were collected and subjected to a range of HT temperatures. Measurement of nucleic acid concentration and antibiotic resistance gene profiles across temperatures showed that HT at moderate temperatures offers sustainable, scalable sludge sanitation and ARG ...

Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials
Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...

ABSTRACT In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), a remediation technology for soil and groundwater contamination, utilizes oxidants that can impact the soil environment and indirectly influence soil CO2 emissions. Understanding these emissions may support more sustainable ISCO applications by enabling adjustments to treatment conditions that limit ...

Fendioxypyracil, a new and systemic PPO‐inhibiting herbicide for X‐spectrum weed control
This graphical abstract presents the discovery and synthesis of PPO herbicide structures with a central pyridine core, showing molecular conformations, dose–response inhibition curves for PPO1 and PPO2, and comparative weed and grass control efficacy of fendioxypyracil versus other herbicides in greenhouse and field trials.
