Due to its influence on multiple soil processes, water intervenes in biogeochemical cycles at
multiple spatial scales with contrasting effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. On all …

Drought severely limits global plant distribution and agricultural production. Elucidating the
physiological and molecular mechanisms governing alfalfa stress responses will contribute …

In modern intensive farming systems, nitrogen (N) is one of the most abundantly supplied
nutrients to crop plants whereas its suboptimal availability in nature constitutes the major …

Increased soil drought events threaten the yields of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and other
staples of arable production in central Europe. In this study we evaluated soil moisture and …

Due to increased drought frequency following climate change, practices improving water
