Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1101-1115, August 2026.
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

OsPIP2;1 impacts root hydraulic conductance and is a candidate gene for a drought avoidance QTL on rice chromosome 7

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1602-1613, August 2026.
In this study, we identified a rice plasma membrane intrinsic aquaporin (OsPIP2;1) as the candidate gene for a chromosome 7 locus driving drought avoidance, supported by established and novel physiological experiments measuring root hydraulic conductance in near isogenic and RNAi knockdown lines.

Assessment of carbon and nitrogen stocks in soil and soil organic matter fractions in an alley cropping system under a northern temperate climate

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Alley cropping, combining tree rows with wide alleys for agricultural crops, has demonstrated variable potential to store additional carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil, compared to conventional cropping. Studies quantifying C and N in particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM) are scarce, despite their ...

Developing soil‐test‐based sulfur fertilizer recommendations for soybean

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Declining sulfur (S) inputs from atmospheric deposition, combined with greater S removal by high‐yielding crops, have increased concern about S deficiency in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. We evaluated soybean yield and leaflet‐S concentration response to six fertilizer‐S rates (0, 11, 22, 34, 45, and 67 kg S ha−1) across 50 site‐years ...

End‐of‐season corn stalk analysis as a tool to fine‐tune potassium and nitrogen management

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Corn (Zea mays L.) requires proper nutrient management for optimal growth, and tissue testing plays an important role in refining recommendations. Corn stalk nitrate test (CSNT) is used to evaluate nitrogen (N) management; however, a comparable plant‐based diagnostic tool for potassium (K) is lacking. This study evaluated extractants for stalk‐

Tall fescue performance in response to natural organic and synthetic granular fertilizers and Rhizoctonia solani inoculation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Repeated applications of natural organic based fertilizers can benefit soil health and potentially suppress some turfgrass diseases. One of the major summer diseases affecting many lawns is brown patch (caused by various Rhizoctonia and Rhizoctonia‐like species).

Plant Functional Groups Mediated the Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance and Mowing on the Community Stability of Alpine Meadow Plants

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The response mechanisms of plant community composition, functional group biomass, vegetation‐soil properties, and community stability to plateau pika and mowing disturbance intensity exhibited distinct differences. Gramineae and Sedge aboveground biomass and soil nutrient content demonstrated more pronounced responses to both disturbances and their ...

Evaluating Post‐Fire Salvage Logging Erosion Mitigation Treatments in the California Sierra Nevada, USA

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Multiple pairs of mitigation treatments including logging slash, subsoiling, traffic passes and slope were evaluated over time using a rill simulation experiment to determine which treatments were effective at reducing runoff and sediment delivery from logged hillslopes.

A meta‐analysis of soil carbon fraction response to organic amendments in annual croplands

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Organic amendments are key sources of nutrients in croplands and play an important role in maintaining soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Stabilization of SOC is mediated by environmental and management factors and may differ between mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC).

Grassland soil tillage by three implements in an Ultisol and its physical and hydropedological implications

Agronomía Costarricense, 2015
A field study was conducted to test the effects of soil tillage with 3 different implements on compaction, physical and hydropedological properties of an Ultisol under cattle production, located in San Mateo, Alajuela.
