Soil microbiomes drive key functions in agroecosystems, determining soil fertility, crop
productivity and stress tolerance. The microbiome is intricately linked with soil structure …

River water quality is crucial to ecosystem health and water security, yet its deterioration
under climate change is often overlooked in climate risk assessments. Here we review how …

Factors driving microbial community composition and diversity are well established but the
relationship with microbial functioning is poorly understood, especially at large scales. We …

Alternative solutions to mineral fertilizers and pesticides that reduce the environmental
impact of agriculture are urgently needed. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance …

Rapid urban expansion has profound impacts on global biodiversity through habitat
conversion, degradation, fragmentation, and species extinction. However, how future urban …

Spatiotemporally consistent data on global cropland extent is essential for tracking progress
towards sustainable food production. In the present study, we present an analysis of global …

Agriculture contributes to a decline in local species diversity and to above-and below-
ground biotic homogenization. Here, we conduct a continental survey using 1185 soil …

This paper reviews urban heat (UrHT) challenges following the SBAR (situation,
background, assessment and recommendation) framework. The results indicate that …

Monitoring agricultural systems becomes increasingly important in the context of global
challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, population growth, and the rising demand …

Automated decision making and predictive analytics through artificial intelligence, in
combination with rapid progress in technologies such as sensor technology and robotics are …
