Abstract Given the escalating challenges of water scarcity and climate change, enhancing water productivity is crucial for achieving water security, particularly in arid regions with finite water resources. This study as...

In the Pampas region of Argentina agriculture is dominated by intensive no-till (NT) soybean cropping which produce negative consequences on soil quality. A group of farmers started to use the Good Agricultural Practices...

Plant communities fragmented by agricultural activities were analyzed in a 250-ha area in eastern plains of Montecaseros, Gral. San Martín Department, Mendoza, Argentina. A phytosociological method assessed different si...

The Salado River Basin region is the most important livestock breeding area in Argentina, wherethe Lotus species has been traditionally cultivated as forages. Nearly 60% of their land surface is dominated by salt-affecte...

Forests play a crucial role in ecological stability, carbon sequestration, habitat provision and economy. As climate change intensifies, increasing drought frequency and severity challenge our understanding of forest res...

The mechanistic understanding of toxic metals reactive transport in complex porous media is essential for pollution prediction and remediation in soil-groundwater systems. This study aims to experimentally and numericall...

Abstract Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production is increasingly challenged by water limitations and declining soil quality, necessitating efficient alternatives to conventional cultivation. This review examines the ...

Background: Forests are used for multiple purposes worldwide, which often include timber harvest, firewood extraction and livestock raising. An excessive pressure on multipurpose systems may decrease soil cover, promotin...

Abstract Agricultural soils serve as an important frontier in the global efforts to sequester carbon (C), providing scalable opportunities to address climate change through improved land management. However, the C seques...

Bio-calcification, also known as microbiologically induced calcite precipitation, is a phenomenon involving the activity of the enzyme urease. A large number of soil microorganism exhibit urease-producing ability. The ma...

Humans utilise about 40% of the earth’s net primary production (NPP) but the products of this NPP are often managed by different sectors, with timber and forest products managed by the forestry sector and food and fibr...

Despite the importance of mycorrhizal symbiosis, we understand little how different soil managements affect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities. Crop rotation is recommended in sustainable agriculture because ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the sustainability and agro-economic viability from two croppings of coriander (C) and two of arugula (A) intercropped with beet (B) as a function of roostertree amounts added ...

Abstract This study investigated the impact of spatial variability in soil Cation Exchange Capacity and key macronutrients on soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) population establishment and yield across two distinct field...

Arabica coffee is grown at higher elevations in Ethiopia and when grown on healthy soils typically yields denser and harder beans that are more highly valued due to their elevated sugar content, resulting in complex and ...

No Nordeste Paraense alguns agricultores familiares têm implantado pequenas áreas de pastagens e manejado pequenos rebanhos com o objetivo de aplicar eventuais ganhos obtidos com os cultivos, criando uma poupança a se...

Abstract The dual challenges of waste biomass disposal and escalating contamination by inorganic, organic, and emerging microplastic pollutants demand sustainable, circular remediation strategies. Biochar, a carbon-rich,...

This research examines the determinants of agricultural land prices in the Mendoza River Basin, with emphasis on the marginal contribution of irrigation water as a strategic resource in an arid context. An original geore...

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice poses a serious threat to food safety. While soil amendments with manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) can reduce Cd accumulation in rice, their distinct modes of action remain unclear, hinderin...

ABSTRACT Onion is predominantly grown under conventional management. Alternatively, the no-tillage vegetable system uses cover crops to form a residue layer, which improves soil physical, chemical, and biological quality...

A positive relationship between protein concentration and yield has been documented in different combinations of genotype and environment, often under potential conditions. However, the ecophysiological bases underlying ...

Ecosystem-based adaptation practices among smallholder farmers in drought-prone areas provides a positive response strategy to the increasing challenges posed by climate change, particularly declining crop yield under dr...

Abstract Background Blanket bogs are rare ombrotrophic peatlands that function as important long-term carbon stores. Their persistence depends on strong nutrient limitation, which maintains Sphagnum dominance and suppres...

Grasslands are being replaced by urbanization and more profitable agricultural activities around the world. Producers may be faced with land constraints and need to consider intensification of the remaining grasslands as...
