The Effect of Summer Cover Cropping on Soil Health Is Limited by the Quantity of Carbon Inputs in a Winter Dominant Low Rainfall Environment

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The effects of summer cover crops on cash crop yields and soil health in semi‐arid cropping systems in southern Australia remain largely unexplored. A study was conducted in Western Australia to investigate cover crop impacts on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, soil water, and mineral nitrogen (N) and cash crop yield.

A pleiotropic “stretch” phenotype is associated with metaxylem vessel element length, axial hydraulic conductance, root elongation, water utilization, and drought adaptation in maize

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract We tested the hypothesis that metaxylem phenotypes influence drought adaptation in maize (Zea mays L.) through in silico modeling and empirical studies under water deficit in controlled environments and in the field. Substantial genotypic variation for metaxylem vessel element length (MVEL) was observed. Longer MVEL was correlated with reduced

Improving low‐pH and high‐aluminum field tolerance in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is the fourth most valuable field crop in the United States. Alfalfa production is limited in regions predominated by acidic soils, including the southeastern United States. The purpose of this study was to characterize the effect of low‐pH soils on yield and fall dormancy ratings and select top performers for the ...

A Quali-quantitative evaluation approach to pedodiversity by multivariate analysis: introduction to the concept of "pedocharacter" [PDF]

, 2012
A model has been developed for the interpretation of the complexity of pedological systems; this is referred to as “pedocharacter”. The main aim of the model was to reduce the variables able to define soils and their relationships with the environment ...

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1292-1312, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and

Phosphorus Management on ‘Extensive' Organic Farms with Infertile Soils [PDF]

, 2007
Two case-study farms with negative P balances maintained acceptable productivity without fertilisers, apparently by ‘mining’ ‘available’ P reserves in surface and subsoil.
