Does Farmer Group Membership Improve Technology Adoption and Household Welfare? Evidence From Tanzania

- ABSTRACTPrevious studies have demonstrated that membership in farmer groups (MFGs) promotes the adoption of improved agricultural technologies, increases farm incomes, and alleviates poverty....

Integrated Soil Fertility and Water Management Practices for Enhanced Agricultural Productivity

Reduced Tillage Intercropping With Thymus hyemalis Reshapes the Rare Soil Microbiome and Co?Occurrence Networks in a Semi?Arid Almond Orchard

- ABSTRACTEnvironmentally friendly farming practices are gaining interest, and intercropping is a promising option to protect soil health, yet its effects on orchard microbiomes and functions remain...

Temperature and nutrient responses of three red algae: Implications for species rotation in land?based aquaculture

- AbstractLand?based Integrated Multi?Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) offers a sustainable production model, but its economic viability is often limited by seasonal fluctuations in temperature and nutrient...

Contrasting effects of herbivory on responses of a native and an alien plant to soil nutrient heterogeneity

09/03/2026 - NeoBiota 106: 91-105 DOI: 10.3897/neobiota.106.180549 Authors: Kai Ou-Yang, Xiao-Yan Na, Yin-Ni Wu, Lin Huang, Wei Xue, Fei-Hai Yu Abstract: Soil nutrient...

Plant species and field site shape root endosphere microbiomes of wild inoculum plants used in traditional cereal?based fermentation

- Traditional fermented foods worldwide depend on naturally occurring microbes, yet the environmental sources shaping these microbes and their effects on food quality remain poorly understood. We...

Coupled C and N turnover in a dynamic pore scale model reveal the impact of exudate quality on microbial necromass formation

- The adequate quantification of soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover is a pressing need for improving soil health and advancing our understanding of climate dynamics. It is controlled by the complex...

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...

Synergistic effects of vermicompost and biochar amendments on cherry tomato production in an urban rooftop garden: A 2?year study

- AbstractUrban agriculture has emerged as a practical strategy to strengthen local food systems in cities with limited land availability. Rooftop gardening, in particular, offers opportunities for...

Native halotolerant consortia modulate soil–plant interactions under moderate salinity

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

- Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat...

Nutrigenomics of the Mediterranean Diet: Gene–Diet Interactions and Bioactive Compounds in Cardiovascular Health

- The Mediterranean diet interacts with genetic and epigenetic backgrounds to modulate nutrigenomic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modification and microRNA regulation. These molecular...

Exploring challenges and agroecological solutions for vegetable production in semi-arid Turkana County, Kenya

- IntroductionAgroecological farming is increasingly promoted as a climate-smart strategy for drylands, yet evidence on its effectiveness, acceptability, and sustainability in pastoral and agropastoral...

Biochar effects on soil organic carbon sequestration and acidity amelioration persist after 10 years

- Intensive cropping and long-term ammoniacal nitrogen (N) fertilization have degraded soil health in eastern Oregon dryland wheat systems, leading to soil acidification and declining soil organic...

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...

The Recycling of Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.) Frass as Biofertilizer—Effects on Soil Fertility, Biomass Growth and Nitrogen Uptake of Spring Wheat

- ABSTRACTAn important by?product of insect rearing is the frass, a mixture of excrements, shed exoskeletons, and undigested feed. The recycling of frass as biofertilizer in agriculture is gaining...

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

- 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...

Secret heroes of the sea: brown macroalgae and their bioactive powers—a narrative review

- Macroalgae have been used for nutritional and medicinal purposes in many cultures throughout history and they are an important part of traditional diets, especially in Asian countries. This narrative...

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...

Developing multi-dimensional societal-level strategies to mitigate farmer distress in India: insights from a fuzzy Delphi expert consensus
