Using ecoinformatics to evaluate the impact of crop and herbicide rotations on herbicide intensity
Maize fields with cotton in rotation receive lower herbicide application than fields without cotton. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop rotation is a central component of integrated weed management (IWM) under real‐world conditions, yet its impact on herbicide use remains unclear. To address this challenge, we developed an ecoinformatics‐driven analysis approach

Abstract Cover crops are widely used in corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean (Glycine max) systems to improve soil health, yet seasonally dynamic responses of soil biological properties to long‐term cover cropping remain not fully understood, particularly in the low‐organic matter Alfisols of the eastern Corn Belt.

Aggregation and carbon content in urban soil blends: Insights from a three‐decade chronosequence
Abstract Manufactured soil blends are increasingly used for urban landscaping where access to suitable natural topsoil is limited. These mixed sandy soils contain substantial compost but are essentially structureless at installation. Aggregate formation in these blends, critical for water and nutrient retention, remains poorly understood.

Temporal dynamics of soil quality under Prosopis juliflora afforestation in drylands
Abstract Afforestation in drylands is an effective approach to mitigating soil degradation and erosion while promoting ecological restoration in disturbed ecosystems. This study evaluated the long‐term effects of Prosopis juliflora afforestation on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in Iranian drylands.

Evaluating the effect of compaction on soil hydraulic properties
Abstract Soil compaction is commonly viewed by agronomists as an undesirable consequence of intensive agricultural activities arising from heavy machinery or livestock trampling. However, deliberate compaction of the furrow bottom has been considered as a potential water management practice to reduce deep percolation losses and improve furrow ...
