Agriculture remains the food supplier of many households globally. In Africa, agriculture helps many farm households to meet their household food needs. Given the importance of agriculture in achieving food security in m...

ABSTRACT Astragalus bozakmanii Podlech, an endemic plant species to Turkey, was investigated to provide an understanding the conservation status of this species and to fill the gap in the knowledge of habitat of this spe...

Global environmental degradation resulting from unsustainable human activities has become a critical development challenge in the 21st century. The Didessa watershed in southwestern Ethiopia, a region dominated by subsis...

This study quantified how soil and water conservation (SWC) practices, slope position, and soil depth influence labile and recalcitrant carbon (LC, RC) and nitrogen (LN, RN) fractions in the Tigray highlands of northern ...

Prosocial propensity refers to an individual’s general inclination to act for the benefit of others. Notably, psychological research has often defined “others” narrowly, limiting the term to humans. However, some a...

Background and Objectives: This study investigates the effects of land management practices and vegetation cover on soil erosion rates in the Mashhad Plain, Northeast Iran. Methods: By employing the Universal Soil Loss...

Understanding soil properties is fundamental to sustaining the ecological integrity of protected forest ecosystems. This study examined the influence of two management categories; Strict Nature Reserve (SN) and Natural P...

Abstract Climate change threatens species and crops. Understanding its impact along a range of climates is essential for developing effective conservation strategies and strengthening ecological resilience. This study ex...

Abstract Background Passiflora germplasm, characterized by rich genetic diversity, play a pivotal role in the evolutionary history of tropical crops. With the expansion of commercial passion fruit cultivation, germplasm ...

ABSTRACT Adopting conservationist soil use and management practices, such as the no-tillage system and cover crops associated with organic agriculture, can improve the quality of fragile soils. This study aimed to evalua...

Agricultural landscapes in the tribal regions of Central India are dominated by smallholder, low-input, and highly diversified farming systems integrating crops, trees, and livestock. However, despite increasing promotio...

Abstract Land-use change strongly regulates soil physical, chemical, and biogeochemical properties, with major implications for soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in the Brazilian Amazon to a depth of 30 cm. This study a...

Brassica oilseeds are important protein crops for Nordic agriculture. Oilseed production is challenged by multiple insect pests, most importantly the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus). Concerns about pyrethroid resis...

Soil loss poses a serious threat to agricultural productivity and causes environmental degradation, particularly in Ethiopia. It depletes soil fertility, resulting in reduced crop productivity and accelerated sedimentati...

Soil erosion is a major environmental concern that affects land productivity and water quality. Although soil erosion is a serious global environmental challenge, understanding its potential influence in the Bardha Water...

We analysed the main plant strategies to conserve nitrogen in the Patagonian Monte. We hypothesized that the two main plant functional groups (xerophytic evergreen shrubs and mesophytic perennial grasses) display differe...

Soil erosion is a major problem, which has had adverse effects on the productivity of agriculture, the quality of water, and the sustainability of land in the long term, especially in semi-arid states of southern India. ...
