Desertification risk fuels spatial polarization in 'affected' and 'unaffected' landscapes in Italy

Samaneh Sadat Nickayin et al.

Summary: Southern Europe is a hotspot for desertification risk due to soil deterioration, landscape transformations, rising human pressure and climate change. This study evaluates the spatial structure of a simulated landscape in Italy based on different levels of vulnerability to land degradation, finding that vulnerable landscapes are increasingly fragmented. The spread of larger land patches exposed to intrinsic degradation may increase the probability of local-scale degradation processes and promote desertification.

Stability of soil organic carbon under long-term fertilization: Results from 13C NMR analysis and laboratory incubation

Adnan Mustafa et al.

Summary: Long-term fertilization has a high relevance to soil organic carbon sequestration, with manure application helping reduce SOC losses and promote accumulation of stable carbon forms. The study suggests that manure combined with mineral fertilizers can enhance SOC stability in Chinese Mollisols.

Compost Amendment Impact on Soil Physical Quality Estimated from Hysteretic Water Retention Curve

Cristina Bondi et al.

Summary: Capacity-based indicators and pore distribution parameters were proposed and used to assess the effects of compost amendment on soil physical and hydrological attributes. The study found that the sorption process involved larger and more heterogeneous pores than the desorption process, resulting in different indicators for wetting and drying curves. The soil bulk density was minimally affected by wetting-drying cycles but showed a significant negative correlation with the compost ratio. The effectiveness of compost addition in improving soil hydrological processes and agronomic service was confirmed.

Producing organic amendments: Physicochemical changes in biowaste used in anaerobic digestion, composting, and fermentation

Vania Scarlet Chavez-Rico et al.

Summary: This study compares the effects of different organic amendment production technologies on the preservation of carbon and nutrients. The results show that under reducing production conditions, fermentation and digestion methods preserve a higher percentage of carbon and nitrogen compared to composting, and the concentration of nutrients in the water-soluble phase is higher in digestate.

A Novel Technology for Processing Urban Waste Compost as a Fast-Releasing Nitrogen Source to Improve Soil Properties and Broccoli and Lettuce Production

Fabio Olivieri de Nobile et al.

Summary: The study evaluated nitrogen mineralization dynamics in soils after the addition of heat-treated urban waste amendments or urban waste compost. Results showed that the processed urban waste compost significantly increased nitrogen mineralization rate and plant growth, indicating its potential to improve soil properties and enhance short-cycle vegetable crop productivity.

Semi-Automatic Guidance vs. Manual Guidance in Agriculture: A Comparison of Work Performance in Wheat Sowing

Antonio Scarfone et al.

Summary: The use of digital systems in precision agriculture is increasingly attractive for farmers at every level, but the lack of scientific data to demonstrate quantifiable advantages is slowing down the transition. The starting point of precision agriculture is considered to be the introduction of satellite tractor guidance.

Understanding Root Rot Disease in Agricultural Crops

Bruce A. Williamson-Benavides et al.

Summary: Root rot diseases caused by various pathogens are a major threat to agricultural crops globally. Genetic resistance is seen as the most efficient solution, but it is often quantitative in nature. Research has identified genes associated with resistance, but it is also clear that different pathogens use unique proteins to infect hosts.
