This study presents an explainable machine-learning framework using 1k-RiCA SNP data to predict flowering time and plant height, classify rice subgroups, and rank optimal parent crosses for breeding, all delivered via a transparent web application that overcomes the "black-box" limitations of traditional genomic selection.
This study demonstrates that while adaptive multi-paddock grazing induces only modest shifts in surface soil organic matter chemistry compared to continuous grazing, it is associated with a measurable increase in carbohydrate-rich and alkyl carbon fractions that helps explain observed differences in soil organic carbon stocks.
This study demonstrates that a feature-based analysis of resistance drilling (RESI) profiles, particularly utilizing the mean and coefficient of variation of drilling resistance, offers a semi-automated, minimally invasive method for distinguishing heartwood from sapwood in standing *Santalum album* trees, although robust classification thresholds require further validation across diverse tree ages and planting systems.
This study demonstrates that incorporating phenolic extract from *Foeniculum vulgare* (fennel) seeds into traditional Algerian J'ben cheese significantly enhances its antioxidant capacity, inhibits lipid oxidation, suppresses spoilage microorganisms while promoting beneficial bacteria, and improves sensory attributes during 15 days of refrigerated storage.
This study of smallholder dairy farms in Southwestern Uganda reveals that while current low-dose soil fertility management practices fail to significantly alter topsoil chemical properties, they have led to distinct physical soil texture stratification driven by the strategic spatial allocation of inorganic fertilizers to sandy soils and organic manure to clay-rich fields, highlighting the urgent need for Integrated Soil Fertility Management to sustain long-term productivity.
By analyzing four decades of data from a German beech provenance trial, this study demonstrates that integrating multi-trait selection with specific climatic variable regressions—rather than simple Euclidean distance—effectively identifies superior, climate-resilient seed sources, particularly those originating from colder climates with lower heat accumulation.
This systematic review and meta-analysis establishes that microfibril angle is a fundamental, heritable determinant of wood mechanical performance—particularly stiffness—that complements wood density in predictive models, though inconsistent statistical reporting across the 17 reviewed studies prevented a formal quantitative meta-analysis.
This study demonstrates that a bio-hydrogel composed of lignin from mustard straw and sodium alginate effectively functions as a carrier for triple superphosphate, significantly slowing its phosphorus release in water and soil compared to conventional fertilizers to support sustainable agricultural practices.
This study demonstrates that combining freeze-thaw pretreatment with the addition of 80-mesh coal gangue at 30 g/L significantly enhances biohydrogen production from straw by 31.5% while simultaneously reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 32.1%, thereby achieving synergistic waste resource utilization and carbon reduction.
This study demonstrates that biodegradable, binder-free thermal insulation panels made from poplar bark and forest residues exhibit significantly superior resistance to fungal staining and mass loss compared to solid wood, highlighting bark's potential as a durable and sustainable material for insulation.
