Sustainability is a very complex concept made up of a multitude of interacting aspects that do not necessarily work synergistically with each other. The consequential outcome of cross-cutting drivers, such as digitalisation, is often difficult to assess, as the achievement of certain targets may...

Rice is one of the most consumed cereals worldwide and feeds about 3 billion people. However, the occurrence of climate changes has influenced abiotic and biotic stresses and consequently affected the production and quality of rice grains. The development of new, higher yielding cultivars is...

The awareness about the vital role of soil for nature and society has been increasing. Soil is presently a priority in European research, development, and innovation programs. In order to design effective research strategies, there is the need to identify the current knowledge level and its gaps....

Selection of sunflower varieties with greater cadmium (Cd) tolerance and detecting physiological variation under different Cd concentrations are important to study the potential of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) in the phytoremediation of Cd. The aim of this study was to investigate the variation...

As a result of global warming related to the development of industry and agriculture, the proportion of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased, and temperatures have risen to unprecedented levels. As a result, heat stress, aridity, and salinity in soil has increased, leading to significant...

Introduction: Climate change is rapidly degrading the conditions of crop production. For instance, increasing salinization and aridity is forecasted to increase in most parts of the world. As a consequence, new stress-tolerant species and genotypes must be identified and used for future...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) stock is the carbon proportion that is of biological origin stored with respect to soil depth. It is more prone to loss than soil inorganic carbon. High sequestration of SOC in soil is germane to the improvement of soil quality and mitigating impact of climate change....
