Leaf micromorphology and genetic diversity analysis of Iranian Hordeum species using ISSR and SCoT markers

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
The genus Hordeum (Poaceae), of the tribe Triticeae, comprises approximately 32 species with substantial potential for barley improvement. Hordeum vulgare is an economically important cereal widely cultivated across diverse environments, from the Arctic to desert and humid regions.

Crop genotypic richness enhances biomass production and phosphorus acquisition in maize‐mycorrhiza symbiosis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1702-1714, September 2026.
Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested their response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal responsiveness differed significantly by maize variety, and genetic mixtures outperformed ...

Climate requirements for cultivated Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) and consequences for its use and development as a crop species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1890-1903, September 2026.
The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

Comparative Quality of Garden Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Albion) Produced in Soil and Soilless Sustainable Urban Systems

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Materials Modern agriculture faces the challenge of balancing high crop yields with sustainable resource management and nutritional quality. Here, soil and soilless systems (hydroponics and aquaponics) for cultivating the day‐neutral cultivar ‘Albion’ of the garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) were compared in terms of ...

Three‐Year Monitoring of the Arthropod‐Based Soil Biological Quality Index (QBS‐ar) in Arable Fields of the Sentina Reserve: Spatial and Temporal Patterns and Environmental and Management Correlates

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Although the arthropod‐based Biological Soil Quality Index (QBS‐ar) is widely used to assess soil biological quality in agroecosystems, interpreting its variation under field conditions remains challenging. We characterised spatial and temporal patterns in QBS‐ar and complementary arthropod‐based indicators across four arable fields belonging ...

Three‐Dimensional Simulation of Tile Drainage System for Farmland: Quantifying Tile Drainage Impacts on Hydrological Cycle

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Tile drainage is widely adopted in the U.S. Midwest to manage excess soil water and sustain agricultural productivity, yet its impact on key water budget components—particularly evapotranspiration (ET)—remains insufficiently understood under varying drainage designs and climate conditions.

Significant Decline in Carbon Storage at the Edges of Mangrove Forest

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Quantitative analysis of blue carbon stored in mangrove ecosystems is essential for understanding their role in climate change mitigation. However, the impacts of edge effects in fragmented mangrove forests are often overlooked in large‐scale blue carbon assessments.

Untangling Dynamic Drivers of Salt Marsh Migration

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Coastal marsh transgression into upland ecosystems is driven by complex hydrological processes, stressing vegetation through root‐zone salinization and hypoxia, but interacting roles of these stressors remains poorly understood. We use high‐resolution field observations at six sites along the Delmarva Peninsula, USA, to better understand how ...

Intra‐Seasonal Crop Management and the Potential Benefit of Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts: Farm‐Level Embedded Risk Analysis in Ethiopia

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 928-954, September 2026.
ABSTRACT How large is the potential benefit for farmers from obtaining forecasts of total rainfall in the upcoming season? This critically depends on the local farm system and the crop management actions available to farmers to respond to the forecasts issued. Studies assessing the financial value of seasonal precipitation forecasts have so far focused

Integrated Mechanisms of Soil–Plant System Resilience to Drought–Flood Abrupt Alternation in Maize

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought–flood abrupt alternation is a frequent compound stress under climate change, threatening crop production. However, how crops integrate soil, root and leaf signals for systemic adaptation remains unclear. Maize was subjected to different drought intensities (mild, moderate and severe) followed by flooding durations (3 and 6 days), with ...
