Nitrogen (N) is considered as one of the most important plant macronutrients and proper
management of N therefore is a pre-requisite for modern agriculture. Continuous satellite …

Abiotic stress is one of the severe stresses of environment that lowers the growth and yield
of any crop even on irrigated land throughout the world. A major phytohormone abscisic acid …

Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global concern. However, the
understanding of their ecological effects on terrestrial plants is still limited. We conducted the …

Plants invest a considerable amount of leaf nitrogen in the photosynthetic enzyme ribulose-
1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO), forming a strong coupling of nitrogen …

Root and tuber crops have been an important part of human nutrition since the early days of
humanity, providing us with essential carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. Today, they are …

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) represents a suite of intercorrelated leaf traits
concerning construction costs per unit leaf area, nutrient concentrations, and rates of carbon …

Evergreen species are widespread across the globe, representing two major plant functional
forms in terrestrial models. We reviewed and analysed the responses of photosynthesis and …

Microplastic pollution is a recognized hazard in aquatic systems, but in the past decade has
emerged as a pollutant of interest in terrestrial ecosystems. This paper is the first formal meta …

Root access to bedrock water storage or groundwater is an important trait allowing plant
survival in seasonally dry environments. However, the degree of coordination between …

Most plants show considerable capacity to adjust their photosynthetic characteristics to their
growth temperatures (temperature acclimation). The most typical case is a shift in the …
