Life Cycle Assessment of Rice Cultivation in Acid Sulfate Tidal Swamplands: A Case Study from Barito Kuala, South Kalimantan, Indonesia

This study evaluates the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of rice cultivation in Barito Kuala, Indonesia, revealing that while low-input biochar management minimizes area-based emissions, compost-amended practices offer the lowest yield-scaled intensity, though both outcomes depend heavily on nitrogen-use efficiency and the specific functional unit applied.

Soil Nutrient Analysis of Arabica Coffee in Shaded Coffee Systems and Monoculture Across an Environmental Gradient in the Sidama Region, Ethiopia

This study demonstrates that in Ethiopia's Sidama Region, shaded coffee systems significantly enhance soil nitrogen and potassium availability compared to monocultures, particularly at midland elevations, while phosphorus levels remain unaffected by production systems due to geochemical fixation in Nitisol soils.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Buckwheat Flour: Nutritional Properties, Storage Stability, Spoilage Detection, and Safe Consumption

This study evaluates the superior nutritional profile of buckwheat flour compared to other flours and demonstrates that its storage stability and safety are critically dependent on controlled temperature and low humidity, with refrigeration significantly extending shelf life while room temperature accelerates spoilage.

Development of a DNA-launched reverse genetics system for a highly virulent porcine deltacoronavirus and infectious dose-dependent characterization of a rescued virus in vivo

This study successfully developed a DNA-launched reverse genetics system for a highly virulent porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) and utilized the rescued virus to demonstrate that while high infectious doses cause the most severe clinical outcomes and mortality, lower doses paradoxically result in higher viral shedding and intestinal loads, providing critical insights for future control strategies and vaccine development.

Impact of Acorn Moth (Cydia fagiglandana) Infestation on Seedling Vigor and Early Recovery of Persian Oak (Quercus brantii) in Koya District

This 2024–2025 field study in Koya district demonstrates that *Cydia fagiglandana* infestation severely compromises the regeneration of Persian oak (*Quercus brantii*) by drastically reducing root and stem formation rates in seedlings, thereby posing a critical threat to sustainable forest recovery.

Dietary thymol supplementation improves growth performance and reproductive endocrine status in growing Texel × Kazakh rams and remodels the rumen microbiota and metabolome

Dietary supplementation with 30 mg/kg thymol enhances growth performance, feed efficiency, and reproductive endocrine status in growing Texel × Kazakh rams by modulating rumen fermentation, enriching fibrolytic microbial taxa, and altering metabolite profiles related to purine and glutathione metabolism.
