Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

INFORMATION VALUE IN WEED MANAGEMENT [PDF]
Use of the economic threshold to improve the efficiency of preemergent-herbicide treatment decisions is limited by a lack of weed information. An economic model for assessing the expected value of weed information needed to implement a threshold decision

Mulching does not improve seedling survival or growth during early forest restoration
Abstract Introduction Weed control is one of the main operational challenges and cost components of tropical forest restoration in former pasturelands. Physical barriers (mulches) have been proposed as an alternative to conventional ring weeding because they can suppress competing vegetation while potentially improving the soil microenvironment ...

Abstract Introduction Native temperate grasslands are globally threatened, biodiversity‐rich ecosystems. In urban post‐agricultural grasslands, restoration often achieves reestablishment of grass species‐dominated communities, yet associated forb recovery remains limited by non‐native seedbanks and nutrient‐enriched soils.

Ambition without alignment: Pollinators in the EU Nature Restoration Law
Abstract Pollinators are essential for life on Earth. They enable the reproduction of most flowering plants and support biodiversity as well as food systems. However, their numbers are in great decline. Research finds a continuing decrease in pollinating insects each year. This article reviews whether EU Law is fit to address this challenge.

Summary of soil organic carbon (SOC) responses to contrasting organic grain management systems after three years. SOC stocks increased across soil depths (0–60 cm) relative to baseline conditions, while active carbon fractions (POXC, WEOC, and MBC) in the surface soil layer responded to differences in cropping system management strategies.

Modelling the Dynamics of Weed Management Technologies [PDF]
An appropriate economic framework for valuing the benefits of weed management technologies is to treat weeds as a renewable resource stock problem. Consequently, the weed seed bank is defined as a renewable resource that changes through time due to ...

Abstract Cover crops (CCs) have gained popularity in continuous crop production systems due to their agroecosystem benefits. This study evaluated the effects of nine CC treatments (single or multispecies) and no cover crop (noCC) on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth characteristics, production, and economic returns in the Mid‐South United States ...

Climate characteristics and trend analyses over major tef‐growing areas in Ethiopia
Abstract This study aimed to understand the characteristics of seasonal rainfall and temperature over major tef‐growing areas in Ethiopia. The daily weather data were analyzed using statistical methods, including the Mann–Kendall test and Sen's slope estimator.

Nitrogen, potassium, and irrigation management for cotton production on the Texas High Plains
Abstract Nitrogen (N) is the most commonly limiting nutrient in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production and is important for lint yield and physiological development, but yield response is difficult to predict due to the influence of water and residual soil nitrate‐N (NO3−‐N).
