- Abstract:
- ... Growing public concern over agricultural nitrogen (N) pollution is now reflected in consumers’ food choices and shareholders’ resolutions, causing rapid changes in global food supply chains. Nitrate (NO₃) leaching represents the primary N source for groundwater contamination and freshwater ecosystem degradation. However, simplified science-based indicators are still lacking to facilitate improved ...

- Abstract:
- ... The Llanos region of Colombia represents one of the last large agricultural frontiers and is undergoing a rapid conversion from naturalized savanna to intensive agriculture with high agrochemical inputs and tillage. This massive land-use conversion has considerable impact on ecosystem services and biodiversity, particularly soil macrofauna, yet the full implications of this land-use shift for long ...

The repetitive use of ALS inhibitors for smallflower umbrella sedge (Cyperus difformis L.) control has selected for herbicide-resistant (R) populations that threaten the sustainability of rice (Oryza sativa L.) production and demand alternative control measures be developed. A better understanding of seedling recruitment patterns at the field level is required to optimize the timing and efficacy o ...

- Abstract:
- ... Meeting the challenge of feeding a growing population with limited resources will require increasing the yield potential of staple crops, such as rice. Yet many high-yielding, intensive production systems have experienced slow rates of yield improvement in recent years despite a demonstrated increase in the yield potential of new crop cultivars. We analyzed experimental data from one such cropping ...

The potential of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) to offset large-scale greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions depends on optimizing external inputs when the crop is primarily managed as a sustainable source for renewable energy production. Due to the heterogeneity of climate and soil conditions and the complexity of agriculture, an evaluation of the effect of adopting switchgrass as a new biofuel crop i ...

- Abstract:

Conservation agriculture (CA) encompasses three principles: reduced tillage, residue retention, and crop rotation, and is thought to hold great potential for improving soil function and maintaining long-term productivity in agricultural systems. However, the benefits of CA likely depend on the biophysical and socioeconomic context in which CA technologies are implemented and whether or not all com ...

Efficient management of rice (Oryza sativa) nutrition across soils ranging from organic to mineral soils varies widely because of large contributions of nutrients, including N, from the indigenous supply. This study tested the hypothesis that the indigenous N supply (INS) would increase if the soil organic carbon (SOC) content of the rice paddy soil increased, evaluated across a wide range of SOC ...

- Abstract:
- ... Rice is a staple food for nearly half of the world's population, but rice paddies constitute a major source of anthropogenic CH₄ emissions. Root exudates from growing rice plants are an important substrate for methane‐producing microorganisms. Therefore, breeding efforts optimizing rice plant photosynthate allocation to grains, i.e., increasing harvest index (HI), are widely expected to reduce CH₄ ...

These temperature‐driven effects can be classified into point stresses, where a temperature event during a sensitive stage drives a reduction in yield, or seasonal warming losses, where raised temperature is thought to increase mainte ...

Agricultural N fertilization is the dominant driver of increasing atmospheric nitrous oxide (N₂O) concentrations over the past half-century, yet there is considerable uncertainty in estimates of N₂O emissions from agriculture. Such estimates are typically based on the amount of N applied and a fertilizer-induced emission factor (EF), which is calculated as the difference in emissions between a fer ...

- Abstract:
- ... An understanding of cultivar effects on field greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in rice (Oryza sativa L.) systems is needed to improve the accuracy of predictive models used for estimating GHG emissions and to evaluate the GHG mitigation potential of different cultivars. We compared CH₄ and N₂O emissions, global warming potential (GWP = N₂O + CH₄), yield-scaled GWP (GWPY = GWP Mg⁻¹ grain), and plant ...

- Abstract:

The objectives of our study were to evaluate yields, N removal, and response to N fertilization of perennial C4 and C3 species under different N availability conditions in an irrigated Mediterranean climate. ...

Large CH₄ and N₂O fluxes can occur from flooded rice (Oryza sativa L.) systems following end-of-season drainage, which contribute significantly to the total growing-season greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Field and laboratory studies were conducted to determine under what soil water conditions these emissions occur. In three field studies, GHG fluxes and dissolved CH₄ in the soil pore water were me ...

Fertilizer nitrogen (N) has been shown to impact both N2O and CH4 emissions from flooded rice systems, yet there is limited research on the effects of N rate when assessing global warming potential (GWP=N2O+CH4) per unit area and per unit grain yield (yield-scaled) on a seasonal and annual basis. A two-year on-farm experiment was conducted from 2010–2012 to test the hypothesis that optimal N rates ...

The impact of long-term use of synthetic fertilizer N on SOM, however, has been questioned recently. Here we tested the hypothesis that long-term application of N results in a decrease in SOM. We used data from 135 studies of 114 long-term exper ...

Conventional wisdom postulates that leaching losses of N from agriculture systems are dominated by NO₃ ⁻ Although the export of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) into the groundwater has been recognized for more than 100 yr, it is often ignored when total N budgets are constructed. Leaching of DON into stream and drinking water reservoirs leads to eutrophication and acidification, and can pose a po ...
