Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient for the production of vegetable crops, but
anthropogenic sources pose risks due to its transformation into several reactive forms and …

Identifying tipping points in the relationship between aridity and gross nitrogen (N) cycling
rates could show critical vulnerabilities of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change. Yet, the …

Context Long-term experiments are an important tool to investigate the effects of crop
rotation and fertilization measures under climate change conditions. However, there are few …

Soil nitrogen (N) availability is one of the limiting factors of crop productivity, and it is strongly
influenced by global change and agricultural management practices. However, very few …

Aminopeptidases catalyze the hydrolysis of peptides into constituent amino acids and are
therefore a key step in nitrogen (N) depolymerization and downstream mineralization …

Irrigated winter crops can reduce input demands when compared with irrigated summer
cropping systems in the Mediterranean area. The sustainability of these systems can be …

Diversifying cultivation management, including different crop rotation patterns and soil
amendment, are effective strategies for alleviating the obstacles of continuous cropping in …

Landscape complexity promotes ecosystem services and agricultural productivity, and often
encompasses aspects of compositional or configurational land cover diversity across space …

Life on Earth is impossible without nitrogen (N). It is essentially required for all living
organisms to synthesize amino acids, vitamins, proteins, enzymes, co-enzymes, and nucleic …

Agricultural soil microorganisms play a crucial role in farmland ecosystems and are integral
to the material cycle in these environments. The composition and abundance of soil …
