This study analyzes the carbon footprint of major grain crops in the Yellow River Basin from 2004 to 2024 using the IPCC, STIRPAT, and Tapio models, identifying key drivers and decoupling trends while predicting future trajectories to propose strategies for achieving coordinated food security and carbon reduction goals by 2060.
This paper presents the first empirical account of the Eco-Harvest Vertical Agriculture School Programme in rural South Africa, demonstrating that low-cost, soil-based tower gardens can rapidly produce food and enhance agricultural education while highlighting critical challenges in stewardship, curriculum integration, and environmental protection that must be addressed for long-term sustainability.
This study demonstrates that integrating satellite-derived NDVI with the FAO Penman-Monteith method provides a cost-effective, accurate approach for estimating district-level wheat crop water needs and irrigation requirements.
This study demonstrates that combined gamma ray and sodium azide treatments effectively induce heritable genetic variability and significantly increase seed yield in two cowpea varieties, identifying specific mutant lines that outperform their parental checks and establishing genotype-specific optimal mutagen doses for future breeding programs.
This study demonstrates that weighted log-ratio analysis of foliar nutrients reveals a significant association between specific imbalances in manganese, copper, zinc, and carbon-hydrogen-oxygen levels and the incidence of European apple canker in southern Brazil, suggesting that managing interdependent nutrient ratios is more effective for disease resilience than monitoring independent elemental concentrations.
This study demonstrates that seed coat treatments with specific botanical extracts (Ageratum conyzoides, Chromolaena odorata, and Ocimum gratissimum) provide effective systemic protection against the African rice gall midge, particularly when combined with moderately resistant rice varieties, resulting in zero tiller infestation and improved grain yields.
This study identifies and validates major pre-harvest sprouting resistance loci in Nordic and exotic spring wheat through genome-wide association studies and allelic stacking, demonstrating that a multivariate marker-assisted selection strategy is essential for effectively combining complementary beneficial alleles to improve resistance in breeding programs.
This study demonstrates that the endemic earthworm *Eutrigaster lineri* produces superior humus enhancing radish crop quality compared to the exotic *Eisenia fetida*, while simultaneously validating an Inquiry-Based Learning model that significantly improves STEM competencies and environmental literacy among university students.
This study demonstrates that combining *Tagetes patula* L. with pig carcass-derived biochar synergistically immobilizes cadmium in contaminated soil, significantly enhances the hyperaccumulator's growth and metal uptake, and effectively reduces cadmium levels in subsequent edible crops to meet national safety standards.
This study demonstrates that integrating Conservation Agriculture with Agroforestry in Ethiopian highland smallholder systems creates synergistic improvements in soil health and carbon sequestration, resulting in significantly higher soil organic carbon, better soil structure, and a net greenhouse gas sink compared to either practice implemented alone.
