Physics of the Soil Medium OrganizationPart 2: Pedostructure Characterization through Measurement and Modeling of the Soil Moisture Characteristic Curves

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014
Accurate measurement of the two soil moisture characteristic curves, namely, water retention curve (WRC) and soil shrinkage curve (SSC) is fundamental for the physical modeling of hydrostructural processes in vadose zone.

PFAS in hyper-arid OneWater systems: Occurrence, transfer pathways, and management implications for desalination and reuse

Cleaner Water
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are increasingly reported in desalination-dependent and water-reuse systems, yet their behaviour in hyper-arid regions remains poorly characterised.

Global Soil Salinity Estimation at 10 m Using Multi-Source Remote Sensing

Journal of Remote Sensing
Salinization is a threat to global agricultural and soil resource allocation. Current investigations of global soil salinity are limited to coarse spatial resolution of the available datasets (>250 m) and semiqualitative classification rules (five ranks).

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Superhydrophobic sand mulch and date palm biochar boost growth of Moringa oleifera in sandy soils via enhanced irrigation and nutrient use efficiency

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionIt is desirable to rehabilitate desert ecosystems with a selection of native plant species that render ecosystem services and yield natural products for creating a high-value industry, e.g., pharmaceuticals or cosmetics. However, plant growth

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing
