Smart farming has introduced agricultural systems that are increasingly autonomous and highly interconnected. The Agricultural Digital Twin (ADT) is an innovative breakthrough in smart farming that has the potential to g...

Industrial Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology is an optional 128h-course for Chemistry and Biology students at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This course is usually attended by 25 stu...

Abstract Background Soil salinization severely restricts the growth and forage yield of Medicago sativa (alfalfa), a globally critical leguminous forage crop, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing its salt tolerance re...

Abstract Background Microhabitat heterogeneity plays a crucial role in shaping plant water use strategies and ecophysiological processes in arid ecosystems, yet little is known about the coupled response of leaf water is...

This article examines how floodwater can become a driver of urban resilience in Addis Ababa. Focusing on the Upper Kebena River basin, the study analyzes how rapid urbanization, steep geomorphology, low- infiltration soi...

O desmatamento na Amazônia procede a um alto ritmo por várias razões, muitas das quais dependem de decisões do governo. O desmatamento leva à perda de serviços ambientais, que têm um valor maior que os usos pouco ...

Paleosols formed by the burial of topsoil during landscape evolution can sequester substantial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) over millennia due to protection from surface disturbances. We investigated the moisture...

Identifying the determinants of tree species composition among contrasting altitudinal tropical forest types will improve our understanding of the main factors and processes controlling tree species' distributions and pa...

Climate change-induced weather extremes are increasing the intensity and frequency of disturbance events, posing a major threat to forests globally. In Central Europe, hotter and drier summers, such as those during the 2...

Detecting droughts as early as possible is important in avoiding negative impacts on economy, society, and environment. To improve drought monitoring, we studied drought propagation (i.e., the temporal manifestation of a...

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...

Terrestrial evaporation ($E$) plays a crucial role in the water, energy, and carbon cycles and modulates climate change through multiple feedback mechanisms. While process-based models estimate $E$ using satellite-derive...

Abstract An integrated hydrochemical, statistical, and geospatial approach was adopted in the present study to evaluate the groundwater quality of the Mangura Nala watershed in the state of Bihar, India. A total of 154 g...

The ecological and evolutionary processes shaping community structure and functions of microbial symbionts are known to be scale-dependent. Nonetheless, understanding how the relative importance of these processes change...

Abstract Background Utilizing fungal metabolic processes for the eco-friendly synthesis of nanomaterials has arisen as a sustainable substitute for chemical manufacturing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ...

The topographic growth of mountain ranges at convergent margins results from the complex interaction between the motion of lithospheric plates, crustal shortening, rock uplift and exhumation. Constraints on the timing an...

The nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between leguminous plants and soil bacteria, collectively termed rhizobia, is a major contributor of fixed nitrogen to the biosphere. The ability of legumes to secure nitrogen from the atmos...

Vegetation optical depth (VOD), as a key parameter of vegetation, plays an important role in the process of vegetation growth and change. The spaceborne Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technolog...

In most temperate grasslands, cattle grazing can promote physiognomic changes on plant communities, as well as changes in species growth patterns. Through these changes in vegetation, cattle grazing can generate changes ...

Studies of the palaeobiology of titanosaur eggs are significantly more common than studies of titanosaur-egg-bearing strata. Nevertheless, the latter provide significant insight into palaeoenvironmental conditions associ...

Grasslands have to be considered not only as a mean for providing foods for domestic herbivore but also as an important biome of terrestrial biosphere. This function of grasslands as an active component of our environmen...

Short-chain perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), such as perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), are increasingly detected in agricultural soils, irrigation water, and crop tissues, yet their biological effects at low, environmental...

Nature-based solutions (NbS) for urban stormwater management, including bioretention systems, constructed wetlands, green roofs, and permeable pavements, are increasingly promoted as climate adaptation tools that enhance...

Abstract Background Abrupt declines in vegetation productivity risk irreversible transitions. However, the magnitude of such declines (abruptness)—a key determinant ranging from nonlinear reversible transitions to nonl...
