Soil organic carbon (SOC), a critical component of the global carbon cycle, represents the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, and is thus a major component of influencing climate regulation and ecosystem health. Grasslands store substantial carbon...

Medicago sativa is an important forage crop; its value is mainly concentrated in its economic aspects. The growth cycle and growth rate of M. sativa have an important influence on its economic benefits. Alternaria alstroemeriae has often been used as...

The combined effects of tillage and organic amendments on microbial respiration and its contribution to soil hydraulic conductivity are still uncertain in the 0–40 cm layer of a loess soil. We conducted a two-year field experiment to explore th...

This study provides a bibliometric analysis of global scientific production on Conservation Agriculture (CA) and its relationship with climate change mitigation. Using data from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, the research encompassed 650 ar...

Optimizing planting density enhances light capture, improves air circulation, and promotes more efficient resource utilization, ultimately leading to increased crop productivity. It facilitates uniform growth, maximizes land use efficiency, reduces n...

Globally, escalating soil salinization poses significant abiotic stress, disproportionately impacting crops like chickpea (Cicer arientinum L.). This legume exhibits high sensitivity to salinity, which disrupts various physiological and metabolic pro...

This study utilized annual Fuding Dabaicha cuttings as the experimental subject, employing a nutrient solution cultivation technique to establish three distinct treatments: (1) CK: reference processing; (2) Cd: 20 mg/L CdSO4 nutrient solution culture...

Point cloud segmentation is necessary for obtaining highly precise morphological traits in plant phenotyping. Although a huge development has occurred in point cloud segmentation, the segmentation of point clouds from complex plant leaves still remai...

Efficient nitrogen management is crucial for improving corn productivity while minimizing environmental impacts. This study evaluates the response of corn to nitrogen fertilization using three key metrics: yield; nitrogen harvest index (NHI); and agr...

Previous research has investigated the effects of different grazing intensities on soil surface greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, whereas the dynamics of GHG production and consumption within the soil profile and their responses to different grazing in...
