This study demonstrates that agroforestry systems implemented in a coastal–Caatinga transition zone in Brazil effectively enhance topsoil organic carbon, nutrient availability, and moisture retention while maintaining thermal balance, offering a sustainable alternative to monoculture and native vegetation.
This study demonstrates that feeding lactating camels a diet incorporating tanniferous tree leaves (khejri or pala) alongside crop residues significantly alters the fatty acid profile of their milk, specifically increasing tridecanoic acid and linolenic acid while decreasing methyl palmitate and cis-10-pentadecanoic acid compared to a control diet.
This study characterizes *Penicillium janthinellum* Z1-1031 as a multifunctional plant-associated fungus that promotes *Panax notoginseng* growth and health through antifungal, antioxidant-enhancing, and metal-biosorption activities, largely mediated by its secondary metabolite Brefeldin A.
This study demonstrates that peanut meal is the optimal nitrogen source for the semi-permeable membrane aerobic composting of traditional Chinese medicine residues, as it significantly enhances thermophilic duration, organic matter degradation, and nutrient accumulation while driving specific microbial succession to accelerate maturation.
This study demonstrates that priming wheat seeds with zinc oxide nanoparticles significantly enhances early drought resilience by maintaining water status, preserving membrane integrity, and promoting seedling growth under both non-stress and water-limited conditions.
This study demonstrates that species-specific differences in orchid seed storability are closely linked to variations in lipid fatty acid composition and thermal phase behavior, suggesting that integrated biochemical and biophysical profiling can guide the optimization of storage conditions for long-term conservation.
This study of Gujara Municipality in Nepal's Terai region reveals that while surface soil organic matter is predominantly low-to-medium and significantly higher than in depleted sub-surface layers, it exhibits no statistically significant correlation with bulk density, indicating that other factors govern soil compaction in these alluvial soils.
This study utilized georeferenced soil sampling and GIS-based analysis to map the spatial fertility status of Chaurjahari Municipality in Nepal, revealing that while phosphorus levels are generally adequate, organic matter, total nitrogen, and potassium are predominantly low and exhibit significant spatial variability, thereby highlighting the critical need for site-specific nutrient management in the region.
This study documents the date palm agrobiodiversity and farmers' knowledge in the Taghit oasis of southwestern Algeria, revealing that while varietal turnover has occurred over four decades due to factors like Bayoud disease, local smallholders continue to maintain significant diversity through clonal propagation, seed-derived palms, and intergenerational knowledge transmission.
This study simulates future scenarios in China's winter wheat belt to demonstrate that while adding unfertilized summer soybean significantly boosts grain yield and soil health at the cost of groundwater, substituting it for maize offers substantial climate and water recharge benefits with minimal nitrogen input, suggesting that policy subsidies should be differentiated based on these distinct trade-offs and the specific hydrological context of each zone.
