Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 2, Page 243-254, April 2026.ABSTRACT Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self‐sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increasing ambitions for nature restoration and green energy. Meanwhile, the overall agricultural area shrinks due to land sealing.

Increasing Population and Cropland Exposure to Human‐Induced Sequential Heatwave‐Downpour Events
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Compound sequential heatwave‐downpour (SHD) events, characterized by abrupt shifts from heatwaves to heavy rainfall, pose serious threats to health, infrastructure, and agriculture. However, the anthropogenic influence on the increasing trend of SHD events is poorly understood, and projections also exhibit large uncertainties.

Soil Microbiome of Tropical Seasonal and Permanent Small Wetlands
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Distinct hydrological regimes shape microbial communities and metabolic pathways in tropical wetlands. Redox‐driven shifts highlight enhanced methanogenesis under anoxia, and dominant archaeal and bacterial groups reflect specific redox conditions and adaptations, with important implications for biogeochemical cycling and climate‐relevant processes ...
