Summary: Path analysis based on meta-analysis and machine learning was conducted to investigate the effects of site-specific best management practices (BMPs) on soil organic carbon (SOC) and crop yield in China. The results showed that BMPs could significantly enhance SOC and maintain or increase crop yield, with the highest benefits observed when mineral fertilizer was combined with organic inputs. The study also highlighted the importance of initial SOC level, nitrogen input level, soil pH, and climate conditions in determining SOC and crop yield response to BMPs.

Summary: Maintaining good soil structural stability is crucial for agricultural sustainability. Incorporation of cereal straw and use of cover crops can improve soil structural stability, increasing soil organic carbon content. Root biomass is marginally greater when cover crops are included, suggesting their potential benefits for soil stability.

Summary: The impact of soil quality, nitrogen, and organic matter content on the environment has been increasingly researched. This study assessed the effects of different soil management practices on the distribution and accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC) in a durum wheat-faba bean rotation system in Southern Italy. The results showed significant differences in SOC and nitrogen content between the three tillage systems, with the conservation tillage system (NT) showing the highest accumulation in the surface layer. Conservation tillage is recommended for wheat cultivation in the dry areas of Southern Italy for both crop yield improvements and environmental protection.

Summary: Crop diversification can help mitigate climate change by increasing soil carbon and nitrogen content. Inter-cropping almond with caper or winter thyme can increase soil organic carbon and nitrogen under rainfed conditions. Inter-cropping mandarin with annual crop rotation can increase nitrogen storage and stabilization, while reducing soil organic carbon mineralization rates under irrigated conditions.

Summary: The management of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is crucial for addressing climate change and ensuring global food security. Mechanistic models are commonly used to study SOC dynamics, but they are computationally expensive and rely on coarse input data. In this study, statistical meta-models were developed based on a multifactorial crop model to predict SOC responses to different management intensities across Europe. These meta-models showed high accuracy and were particularly useful when stratified by climate and soil clustering. The study also found spatial variations in SOC responses to management choices, highlighting the potential for future management applications. Overall, this work provides a framework for simplifying large-scale agricultural models and demonstrates the opportunities for using meta-models to assess SOC responses to management at different scales.

Summary: Climate change significantly affects climatic conditions and crop productivity. Conservation tillage can increase the storage of soil organic carbon (SOC), but the effects of different tillage methods and straw management practices on SOC storage and crop production are not clear. Under conservation tillage, SOC content and storage in the 0-10 cm soil layer were significantly higher compared to other treatments, while SOC content and storage in the 10-30 cm layer were lower compared to conventional tillage with straw retention. Straw retention treatment was beneficial for SOC storage. Wheat yield was lowest under conservation tillage with straw retention, and maize yield did not significantly differ between conservation tillage with straw retention and conventional tillage with straw retention.

Summary: This study aimed to parameterize new and existing cover crop species in the DayCent model, validate differences between cover crop and control systems using published data, and evaluate model performance and improvements in cover crop data reporting. The results showed that process-based models like DayCent can inform on farm-scale biogeochemical processes under cover cropping, but more detailed reporting from empirical studies is needed to improve model estimates and reduce uncertainty.

Summary: This study reconstructed CH4 emissions from northern peatlands from 13,000 BP to present and found that changes in wetland type have significant impact on CH4 emissions. The emissions stabilized and decreased over time as high-emitting fens transitioned to lower-emitting bogs, but widespread permafrost formation after 1000 BP resulted in decreased emissions, with the possibility of increase again with permafrost thaw.

Summary: Global food security can be threatened by short-term extreme events, such as pandemics and droughts, which negatively affect food production, purchasing power, and agricultural activity. These extreme stressors also have the potential to reduce environmental pollutants like greenhouse gases (GHGs). A study using a biophysical-economic modeling framework evaluates the impact of COVID-19 co-occurring with a drought year similar to that experienced in 2015. The study finds that GHG emissions decline due to reduced agricultural economic activity, but undernourished populations in developing nations increase. Local and regional adaptations, along with increased global trade of agricultural products, contribute to reducing the overall impact on affected populations.

Summary: The stock biomass of carrot prawn in the south-central area of Chile has decreased in the past 12 years, mainly due to fishing mortality. Predation mortality has been less studied and quantified, so it is important to estimate and compare predation and fishing mortality to understand their effects on fishing stocks. A food web model was built to analyze the biomass changes and evaluate the relative contribution of different mortality factors. The results showed that predation mortality was the main component of total mortality for carrot prawns and yellow prawns.

Summary: The theory for movement-based coexistence between species often overlooks small-scale, station-keeping movements. However, at this scale, there are many instances where positive correlations exist between species traits that are expected to be negatively correlated based on current theory. Through simulations, the researcher presents a counter-example to demonstrate that functional tradeoffs are not a necessary condition for movement-based coexistence. This study highlights the significance of species-specific space use patterns under the time allocation tradeoff hypothesis.

Summary: Research on the use of insect microbial symbionts as a means of controlling the spread of insect vectors and the pathogens they carry has made significant progress in the last decade. This study focused on the relative importance of simultaneous effects caused by a symbiont called Caballeronia spp. on the ability of squash bugs to transmit phytopathogenic Serratia marcescens. The researchers found that infection with Caballeronia significantly reduced pathogen titers and cleared S. marcescens in bugs, thus reducing the vectoring potential of these pests. The study also showed that maximizing symbiont prevalence in the vector population is crucial for effectively mitigating plant infections.
