Responses of seasonal indicators to extreme droughts in southwest China [PDF]

, 2020
Significant impact of extreme droughts on human society and ecosystem has occurred in many places of the world, for example, Southwest China (SWC). Considerable research concentrated on analyzing causes and effects of droughts in SWC, but few studies ...

Natural Variations of ZmRLR1 Mediate the Root Lodging Resistance of Maize by Regulating Root Ascorbate and Auxin Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root lodging severely limits crop yield and quality. We reveal that ZmRLR1, a plasma membrane b‐type cytochrome, regulates lodging resistance in maize through dual roles: modulating intracellular redox balance and functioning as a novel component of clathrin‐mediated endocytosis to influence auxin homeostasis. Moreover, natural variations in the ZmRLR1

Examining the Impact of Row Planting on Labor Use for Sustainable Food Production Among Maize Farmers in Rural Ghana

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers are reverting to traditional production methods due to the high opportunity costs and unintended consequences of new technologies. This study focuses on row planting technology, which is labor‐intensive and slow without mechanized operations.

Water deficit is increasingly limiting vegetation productivity in China

Ecological Indicators
Although there is an increasing interest in forecasting global and regional vegetation productivity trends under climate change, it remains unclear whether the effects of water availability on vegetation growth are changing. This study evaluates the long-

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

Evaluation on spatiotemporal consistency between solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence and vegetation indices in grassland ecosystems.

PLoS ONE
Monitoring grassland productivity dynamics is essential for understanding the impacts of climate variation and human activities. Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has been validated as an effective indicator of gross primary productivity ...

Advancing European Plant Variety Registration: Data‐Driven Insights and Stakeholder Perspectives

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient plant variety registration is crucial for fostering innovation in the European Union, yet the current regulatory framework is complex and faces calls for reform. This study provides data‐driven evidence to inform the ongoing legislative debate by employing a mixed‐methods approach.

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]

, 2015
Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted
