Nitrogen (N) is one of the decisive elements for plant growth, crop biomass accumulation,
and yield formation of cereal crops. However, managing N in crop production and …

Previous studies reported an effect of water deficit on crop nitrogen (N) demand but the
statistical significance of this effect is unclear and the physiological mechanism explaining …

Straw mulching increases soil water availability, but the influence of tillage practices with
straw mulching on soil water, soil nitrogen, root distribution, and the physiological response …

Worldwide supply of water and nitrogen (N) are critical to crop yield with multiple interactions
that need to be untangled. We used an allometric framework to quantify the dynamic …

Remote sensing is a valuable tool for reducing the environmental impact of agricultural
practices by detecting crop nitrogen (N) and water status for site-specific N fertilization and …

Allometric rules provide insights into structure–function relationships across species and
scales and are commonly used in ecology. The fields of agronomy, plant phenoty**, and …

Injudicious nitrogen (N) fertilizer application has increased the risk of environmental
pollution and decreased grain yields, farm profits, and N use efficiency. The plant based N …

The evolution in the definition of crop yield—from the ratio of seed harvested to seed sown to
the contemporary measure of mass of seed per unit land area―has favoured less …

In the current situation, climate change has substantially disturbed precipitation occurrence
in the Mediterranean region, by increasing its variability and decreasing the total annual …

Legumes offer the opportunity to reduce the nitrogen (N) fertilizer requirements of the crop
rotation but the capacity of the subsequent crop to recover the N provided by the legume …
