Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

From niche to scale: enabling factors for saline agriculture in the North Sea and Mediterranean regions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Salinisation is one of the most pressing environmental challenges affecting agricultural land and food production worldwide. Although the challenge is substantial, saline agriculture represents a promising approach that integrates soil, water and crop management practices tailored to salt‐affected lands, enabling both adaptation to ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Influence Mechanisms of Spatial Optimization of the “Terraced Fields‐Gully Land Reclamation Project (GLRP)” Cascades on Erosion‐Transportation Processes in Watershed in the Loess Hilly‐Gully Region of China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terraced fields and the Gully Land Reclamation Project (GLRP) are important soil and water conservation measures, widely constructed in China's Loess Plateau and other ecologically fragile areas in the world. However, under large‐scale governance scenarios, the impacts of the “terraced fields‐GLRP” cascade system on water and sediment ...

Long‐Term Straw Returning Combined With Mineral Fertilization Enhances Soil Quality but Elevates P Loss Risks in a Subtropical Rice–Wheat Rotation System, Central China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term straw returning is widely promoted to improve soil quality in intensive cropping systems, yet its combined effects with mineral fertilization on soil quality and phosphorus (P) loss risks remain unclear. Using a 16‐year field experiment in a rice–wheat rotation system, we evaluated the impacts of straw returning (S), NPK ...

Iron/Manganese Oxide‐Bound Nitrogen Suppresses Microbial Mediated Nitrate Reduction in Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen cycling plays a pivotal role in sustaining ecosystem productivity and stability, while the chemical forms of nitrogen in soils critically influence both its efficiency and pathways. In this study, farmland soils from the Anning River Basin—an important watershed in Southwest China—were investigated to examine the regulatory effects of

Cereal‐Legume Rotation Benefits Soil Ecosystem Multifunctionality by Improving the Efficiency of Microbial Carbon Pump

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cereal‐legume rotation is regarded as an important agricultural management strategy for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving soil ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) exerts a regulatory effect on the production of microbial necromass as well as the SOC accumulation.
