Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are key drivers of soil functioning in agricultural systems. Yet the relative influence of soil properties and cropping practices on their diversity remains insufficiently understood. We investigated 60 cropland sites in western Switzerland, covering a broad range of soil properties and cropping practices, to explore

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...

Can species adapt to drought using multiple strategies? Lessons from the California poppy
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2918-2932, June 2026.Summary Plants can escape drought by completing life cycles early, tolerate drought by increasing physiological limits, or avoid drought stress by obtaining or using water more efficiently. It remains unclear whether strategies vary within species across their distributional ranges due to trade‐offs, and whether species can exhibit plasticity in ...

δ13C and δ15N Values of Residues Provide Insights Into Identification of the Explosive Source
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 10, 30 May 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Postblast analyses of military and terrorist events will benefit from the capacity to learn more about the explosive materials used in an event. Here stable isotope ratio analyses (δ13C, δ15N) can provide additional information to complement identification of the explosive components.
