Legacy effects of 41 years of tillage and fertilization on biological nitrogen fixation and nutritional status of hairy vetch in a continuous cotton system

- Long?term tillage and nitrogen fertilization in a continuous cotton–cover crop system influenced soil organic matter and nitrogen availability, shaping nitrogen acquisition strategies of a vetch...

Trace metal accumulation in horticulture production systems (HPS) of Mediterranean agro-ecosystems: origins, impacts on soil health, water resources, and plant uptake with sustainable mitigation strategies

- Intensive horticultural production systems (HPS) in Mediterranean regions face increasing pressure from heavy metals (HMs) buildup in soils, water resources, and crops, raising concerns for...

Predicting Biochar?Induced Changes in Soil Organic Carbon With Ensemble Machine Learning

- We developed an ensemble machine learning (ML) framework, combining Extremely Randomized Trees (ExtraTrees), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), and Categorical Boosting (CatBoost)...

Perceived sustainability impacts of converting to community?supported agriculture

- AbstractGiven the negative ecological and socioeconomic impacts of agriculture, a transformation toward more sustainable food production is urgently needed. A conversion to community?supported...

Assessing the Effect of a Deep?Rooted Grass on Belowground Carbon Storage in Cultivated Land: Insights From a Multi?Site US Study

30/03/2026 - AbstractAgriculture depletes soil organic carbon (SOC), partly due to the exclusion of deep?rooted perennials. Reintroducing deep?rooted perennials to cultivated land may help to mitigate SOC loss....

A Preliminary Comparison of SOC Storage Between the Traditional Farmland and Well?Facilitated Farmland Management

03/04/2026 - AbstractSoil organic carbon (SOC) is central to the global carbon cycle, yet unsustainable cultivation has resulted in a continuing SOC loss and has made it highly vulnerable to future climate...

Carbon availability mediates differences in rhizosphere denitrification potential between intercropped plants

- Denitrification is an important loss pathway for nitrogen (N) in agricultural systems; however, it is at times unpredictable. Some of the uncertainty surrounding denitrification rates is due to soil...

Exploring the state of ex situ organic fertilizer and soil amendment production: an innovation systems analysis across eleven African countries

- IntroductionMany farming systems across Africa suffer from insufficient recirculation and replenishment of nutrients and organic matter, contributing to soil degradation. At the same time the scant...

Compost?Based Organic Amendments and Synthetic Fertilisers Enhance Soil Health and Crop Yield Worldwide

- ABSTRACTFertiliser management is central to achieving sustainable increases in crop productivity while maintaining soil health. Yet, it remains unclear how chemical fertilisers, organic amendments...

Soil indicators for ecosystem services: a focus on water regulation

- Soil health assessments increasingly rely on indicators to infer soil functions and ecosystem services; however, the extent to which these indicators accurately represent water-related soil...

Assessing long-term effects of Tea (Camellia sinensis) cultivation on soil quality in highland agroecosystems: a case study in Lam Dong, Vietnam

- Long-term monoculture systems such as tea (Camellia sinensis) plantations can lead to significant changes in soil quality, directly influencing crop productivity and sustainability. This...

Soil C–N–P status and pea yield under organic and conventional farming in a long-term field experiment

- Viacheslav Eremeev Jaan Kuht Ivo Voor Anne Luik Evelin Loit-Harro Liina Talgre a Crop Science, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Tartu, Estoniab Plant Health, Estonian University of Life...

Beyond Adoption Rates: Farmer Motivations and Communication Needs in Straw Management Decision?Making

- Farmers' straw management decisions are influenced by manure application, land tenure, and soil humus content, reflecting their expected utility. Motivations differ across farmer profiles and reveal...

Impacts of Raw and Enriched Biochar Applied by Broadcast or Seed Coating on Spring Wheat Growth

- ABSTRACTBiochar is increasingly recognized for its potential to enhance crop growth and soil health, yet its efficacy on cropping systems in Atlantic Canada remains underexplored. This study...

Effects of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity: A Review

- ABSTRACTThe loss of biodiversity has become a major concern in the 21st century. The current agricultural model is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss; however, agriculture can also help...

Limited effect of organic matter addition on stabilised organic carbon in four tropical arable soils

- Arable soils are generally characterised by a low soil organic carbon (SOC) content, with negative consequences for soil health, crop yield and global climate. Thus, over the past decades, there...

Native halotolerant consortia modulate soil–plant interactions under moderate salinity

- Mickel Palomino Wilian Salazar-Coronel Juan C. Paredes J. Johan Rivas Yulissa M. Muñoz Leiva Uriel Aldava Pardave María Jaramillo-Carrión Esteban Valladolid-Suyón Richard Solórzano a Dirección...

Optimizing phosphorus management in wheat-based intercropping systems for enhanced productivity, profitability, energy efficiency, and soil health in Indian Inceptisols

- Phosphorus deficiency in Indian Inceptisols limits crop production due to high fixation, low availability and poor fertilizer use efficiency. Even with recommended fertilizer dose, much of the...

Interactions Between Dissolved Organic Carbon and Aluminium Activity in Tropical and Temperate No?Till Agroecosystems

- Conceptual model of depth?stratified soil acidification under long?term no?till in temperate (Washington, USA) and tropical (Brazilian Oxisol) systems. Nitrogen inputs promote surface acidification...

Treated wastewater irrigation: unlocking sustainability in agriculture and food security—a comprehensive review

- Water scarcity caused by high population growth and climatic change has been a significant challenge particularly in arid regions. This current review explores the potential of treated wastewater...

Comparative impact of bio-organic and inorganic fertilizer application on soil health, grain quality and yield stability in nutrient deficient regions

- Soil fertility limitations in arid regions restrict wheat productivity and grain nutritional quality, with zinc (Zn) deficiency being a major concern. Sustainable soil amendments combining organic...
