Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Impact of variety and environmental factors on proteolytic quality parameters of selected malting barley varieties

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a major cereal crop, essential for global food processing and brewing. Malting barley represents less than one‐fifth of global barley output due to strict quality requirements, such as total protein content, enzymatic activity, and kernel homogeneity, which directly influence malting performance and ...

Ultrasound‐assisted recirculation extraction as an innovative approach for obtaining bioactive compounds from grape pomace

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Grape pomace, a by‐product generated during winemaking, still retains bioactive compounds with potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors. This work investigated ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE) coupled with a recirculation system as a strategy to improve their recovery.

Iron/Manganese Oxide‐Bound Nitrogen Suppresses Microbial Mediated Nitrate Reduction in Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen cycling plays a pivotal role in sustaining ecosystem productivity and stability, while the chemical forms of nitrogen in soils critically influence both its efficiency and pathways. In this study, farmland soils from the Anning River Basin—an important watershed in Southwest China—were investigated to examine the regulatory effects of

Cereal‐Legume Rotation Benefits Soil Ecosystem Multifunctionality by Improving the Efficiency of Microbial Carbon Pump

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cereal‐legume rotation is regarded as an important agricultural management strategy for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving soil ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) exerts a regulatory effect on the production of microbial necromass as well as the SOC accumulation.

Bacillus subtilis Mobilizes Phosphorus by Reshaping P Pools, Sorption, and Enzyme Activities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low phosphorus (P) availability constrains crop production in saline‐alkaline soils of Xinjiang, China. We tested whether Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) mobilizes soil P by altering P fractions, sorption–desorption, and P‐cycling enzymes in a saline‐alkaline cotton soil. Under conventional fertilization, B. subtilis was applied at 0 (B0), 15 (

Long‐Term Combined Application of Biochar and Chemical Fertilizers Enhances Potassium Supply Capacity in Continuous Cropping Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustaining soil potassium (K) supply in intensive continuous cropping systems is increasingly challenging because long‐term crop removal often exceeds the natural replenishment capacity of soil K‐bearing minerals, leading to progressive depletion of plant‐available K pools.

Enhancing Soil Quality and Ecosystem Multifunctionality to Increase Maize Yield in Saline‐Alkali Soil: A Multisource Nitrogen Fertilization Strategy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The positive effect of multisource nitrogen fertilization strategies on improving soil fertility and crop yield in saline‐alkali soil has been evaluated. However, the responses of soil quality and ecosystem functions to multisource nitrogen fertilization strategies, and their roles in regulating maize yields in saline‐alkali soils remain ...

Soil Humic Substances and Root Exudates: Key Factors Modulating Cadmium Mobility in Paddy Soils Under Organic Fertilization

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy fields poses a high potential risk of environmental exposure. Organic fertilizer application can promote the efflux of rice root exudates, increase soil organic matter, and induce changes in Cd activity in rice fields.

Ecological Restoration of Degraded Mining Soils Through Key‐Layer Construction Using Industrial By‐Products: A Comprehensive Analysis of Soil Physics, Microbiology, and Maize Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineered key‐layer materials remain unclear.
