Salt stress limits plant growth and productivity by severely impacting the fundamental
physiological processes. Silicon (Si) supplementation is considered one of the promising …

Plants' ability to take up silicon from the soil, accumulate it within their tissues and then
reincorporate it into the soil through litter creates an intricate network of feedback …

Phosphorus availability in soils is an important parameter influencing primary production in
terrestrial ecosystems. Phosphorus limitation exists in many soils since a high proportion of …

Paddy fields serve as significant reservoirs of soil organic carbon (SOC) and their potential
for terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration is closely associated with changes in SOC pools …

Due to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather and severe environmental pollution, food
security and human survival are at risk. Silicon, a key element in plant nutrition and …

Silicon (Si) biogeochemical cycling is beneficial for crop productivity and carbon (C)
sequestration in agricultural ecosystem, thus offering a nonnegligible role in alleviating …

Silicon (Si) application has improved yield and stress tolerance in sugarcane crops. In this
respect, C: N: P stoichiometry makes it possible to identify flows and interaction between …

The resource availability hypothesis predicts that plants adapted to infertile soils have high
levels of anti‐herbivore leaf defences. This hypothesis has been mostly explored for …

Abiotic and biotic stresses are the major factors limiting plant growth worldwide. Plants
exposed to abiotic and biotic stresses often cause reduction in plant biomass as well as crop …

The dynamic process of forest succession is important for terrestrial ecosystems where soil
organic matter (SOM) primarily controls biogeochemical cycles and is driven by soil …
