Desert steppe ecosystems, characterized by water limitation and high sensitivity to global climate change and anthropogenic disturbance drivers, experience profound alterations in carbon (C) cycling processes driven by the multiplicative interactions...

Addressing the demands of agricultural resource digitization and facility crop monitoring, precise extraction of plastic greenhouses using high-resolution remote sensing imagery demonstrates pivotal significance for implementing refined farmland mana...

Manure-derived biochar is a promising soil amendment, though its effectiveness is often constrained by limited structural stability and inconsistent nutrient retention. This study evaluated how the pyrolysis method (pre- vs. post-pyrolysis) and rate...

The interaction between microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals and their ecological risks to the soil–plant system has attracted widespread attention. This study explored the effects of polypropylene (PP) alone or combined with cadmium (Cd) pollu...

This study evaluated the effects of incorporating spent mushroom substrates (SMS) derived from Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Lentinula edodes into peat-based growing media on the morphological traits, photosynthetic parameters, and mine...

Vegetation restoration enhances soil erosion resistance by enhancing soil aggregates, but the function of these aggregates and their relationship with soil nutrients and microbes remain unclear. In this study, two land cover types that induce differe...

The estimation of soil hydraulic properties—such as water retention and hydraulic conductivity—is essential for irrigation management and agro-hydrological modeling. This study presents the development and application of SOILHP, a low-cos...

Continuous cropping poses a significant threat to sustainable pepper production by triggering soil degradation and growth inhibition, yet the role of root exudates in this process remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate how continuous cropping...

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation systems are extensively applied in japonica rice varieties. However, the adaptability of local rice varieties to existing transformation systems remains limited, owing to their complex genotypes, posing a substan...

The increasing demand for renewable energy, coupled with the urgent challenges posed by climate change, has positioned perennial biomass crops (BPGs) as essential and sustainable alternatives for bioenergy production. This study investigated the impa...
