Summary: The study reveals that modern soybean varieties in Brazil have higher nutrient removal compared to historical values, especially in terms of N, P, K, and Mg removal. However, over a 10-year period, the impact of plant breeding on grain nutrient concentration was significant only for N and Mg. The differences in nutrient removal patterns between Brazil and other countries suggest an integrated effect of management, genotype, and environment on nutrient removal.

Summary: This study found that higher phosphorus application led to increased shoot biomass and grain yield of cowpea plants in the field experiment, but did not significantly affect shoot or grain zinc content. There was no significant correlation between grain yield and zinc content under high soil phosphorus levels. The impact of higher phosphorus application on reducing plant zinc content may be genotype-dependent.

Summary: The study finds significant variation in the methods used by European countries to set river nutrient thresholds, with some countries relying on expert judgement or statistical distribution, while others prefer statistical relationships based on biological variables. For the first time, an ecology-based approach is used to derive nutrient thresholds for various river types in Central Europe. The results demonstrate that adopting ecology-based nutrient targets could improve sustainable river management where nutrients are the main pressure preventing the achievement of good ecological status.

Summary: This study compared the roles of S0-oxidizing bacteria (S0OB) and S0-reducing bacteria (S0RB) in releasing insoluble phosphorus from anaerobically digested sludge (ADS). The results showed that S0OB treatment extracted more phosphate from the sludge compared with S0RB treatment, but it also released a considerable amount of metal cations and negatively affected sludge dewaterability. Ultimately, 79.8wt% of phosphorus was recovered from ADS through S0OB extraction-CER purification-alkali neutralization-vivianite crystallization.

Summary: This study investigated how stream communities respond to cumulative human impacts such as nutrient enrichment, showing that the effects of nutrient enrichment are conditional on upstream ecosystem conditions. Future assessments may need to consider the complexities related to environmental stressors when evaluating the impacts of human activities on stream ecosystems.

Summary: The study found that titanium application significantly improved soybean growth under a maize-soybean relay strip intercropping system, leading to increased stem strength, photosynthetic rate, and stomatal conductance. Titanium foliar application not only enhanced shade tolerance but also increased soybean yield, indicating its potential to mitigate shade stress in such intercropping systems.

Summary: The conversion of paddy cropping to vegetable and jasmine production resulted in increased soil CO2 emissions and decreased CH4 and N2O emissions. Global warming potential increased, while TP concentration increased in vegetable soils and TN concentration decreased in jasmine soils.

Summary: The excision of stem phloem tissue between the cotyledonary and the first unifoliate leaf, combined with low phosphorus (P) conditions, modulated the gene expression related to P homeostasis, sucrose metabolism, hormone homeostasis, and ABA signaling in roots and leaves. P deprivation mainly upregulated root and leaf P homeostasis gene expression in intact plants, while girdling suppressed root expression of these genes but increased root P concentrations and decreased leaf P concentrations.

Summary: This study evaluates nutrient limitations and imbalances in maize cultivation in Nigeria, and suggests considering additional nutrients (S, Ca, Cu, and B) to improve nutrient balance and yield. Linear regression and bootstrap forest machine learning models accurately predict maize yield based on nutrient concentration in ear leaves.

Summary: Nutrient losses from small headwater catchments can lead to downstream eutrophication issues. The proportion of arable land has a strong positive effect on nutrient concentrations, while forest and wetland can reduce nutrient concentrations in streams. Certain soil properties, influenced by geological composition, play a key role in nutrient losses. By using soil properties as a link between geology and water quality, potentially sensitive areas were identified, with sedimentary bedrock regions showing higher dissolved nutrient concentrations.

Summary: Traditional hydroponic solutions using dual nutrient salts may lead to unintended consequences, while a new hydroponic system using single-nutrient sources has been shown to be effective in adjusting individual nutrients for specific plant needs. Further research is needed to improve pH buffering and align tissue nutrient concentrations with field-grown crops.

Summary: By using reverse vulcanization, the polyTA was stabilized with natural turpentine monomers (beta-pinene and limonene), resulting in transparent self-healing and antibacterial turpentine oil-modified polyTA (TA-beta and TA-LIM). TA-beta and TA-LIM exhibited favorable thermal stability, mechanical property, self-healing efficiency, and antibacterial capacity.

Summary: The characteristics of rootstock significantly affect the nutritional status of scion, such as the seasonal variations in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents of leaves. Leaf concentrations of calcium and magnesium showed similar trends as well. Micro elements like iron, zinc, manganese, and copper also exhibited specific patterns throughout the growing season.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of rice straw biochar on cadmium (Cd) availability and uptake by rice plants. The results show that biochar can reduce the bioavailability of Cd in the soil and limit its uptake by plants. This suggests that agricultural residues can be used as a soil conditioner to mitigate Cd contamination and improve food safety.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of phosphorus fractions in 29 surface soil samples from different fruit orchards. The results showed that calcium phosphate, residual phosphate, and citrate bicarbonate dithionite phosphate had higher concentrations, while sodium hydroxide phosphate, sodium bicarbonate phosphate, and sodium hydroxide organic phosphate had lower concentrations. The distribution of these phosphorus fractions varied according to soil properties and land use pattern.

Summary: Soil formation processes and agricultural practices play a crucial role in determining the concentration of plant-available boron (B) in soils. This study investigated the relationships between soil characteristics and plant-available B concentrations in 54 soil samples collected from Gelendost and Egirdir districts of Isparta province using Spearman correlation and eXtreme gradient boosting regression (XGBoost) model. The results showed significant correlations between plant-available B concentration and soil phosphorus, potassium, copper, and electrical conductivity. The XGBoost model successfully explained 63% of the variation in soil behavior, with one component attributed to plant-available B variance. The variables identified in the XGBoost model were consistent with the significant parameters in the correlation analysis. This study highlights the capability of the XGBoost model to estimate B availability based on routinely analyzed soil properties.

Summary: Understanding the geochemical speciation of selenium in soils is crucial due to its dual effects. This study investigated the relationship between the concentrations of selenium species and physicochemical characteristics of soils in the Amik Plain in Turkey. The results showed significant correlations between selenium concentrations and soil texture, electrical conductivity, clay content, organic matter, extractable cations, and calcium carbonate equivalent. The distribution of selenium species in the soils indicated that solute and/or solid transport phenomena were the primary driving mechanism. This study provides valuable data for the distribution of selenium and its species in Amik Plain soils.
