Agriculture provides the largest share of food supplies and ensures a critical number ecosystem services (e.g., provisioning). Therefore, agriculture is vital for security supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) 2 (SDG - zero hunger) as others SDG's. Several studies have been published in different world areas with research directions focused on increasing nutritional from an agricultural land system perspective. The heterogeneity calls interdisciplinary comprehensive systematization plethora approaches, scales analysis, reference data used. Thus, this work aims to systematically review contributions by systematizing main fields present synthesis diversity scope knowledge.

Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Regulating Growth, Enhancing Productivity, and Potentially Influencing Ecosystems under Abiotic and Biotic Stresses

Plants, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(17), P. 3102 - 3102

Published: Aug. 29, 2023

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic relationships with the roots of nearly all land-dwelling plants, increasing growth and productivity, especially during abiotic stress. AMF improves plant development by improving nutrient acquisition, such as phosphorus, water, mineral uptake. tolerance resilience to stressors drought, salt, heavy metal toxicity. These benefits come from arbuscular interface, which lets fungal partners exchange nutrients, signalling molecules, protective chemical compounds. Plants' antioxidant defence systems, osmotic adjustment, hormone regulation are also affected infestation. responses promote performance, photosynthetic efficiency, biomass production in stress conditions. As a result its positive effects on soil structure, cycling, carbon sequestration, contributes maintenance resilient ecosystems. The AMFs ecological stability species- environment-specific.

Cocktails of pesticide residues in conventional and organic farming systems in Europe – Legacy of the past and turning point for the future

Environmental Pollution, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 278, P. 116827 - 116827

Published: March 9, 2021

Considering that pesticides have been used in Europe for over 70 years, a system monitoring pesticide residues EU soils and their effects on soil health is long overdue. In an attempt to address this problem, we tested 340 agricultural topsoil samples multiple residues. These originated from 4 representative case study sites (CSS), which covered 3 countries four of the main crops: vegetable orange production Spain (S–V S–O, respectively), grape Portugal (P-G), potato Netherlands (N–P). Soil were collected between 2015 2018 after harvest or before start growing season, depending CSS. Conventional organic farming results compared S–V, S–O N–P. Soils conventional farms presented mostly mixtures residues, with maximum 16 residues/sample. had significantly fewer 5 The highest frequency detection content herbicides: glyphosate its metabolite AMPA (P-G, N–P, S–O), pendimethalin (S–V). Total residue reached values 0.8 mg kg−1 2 12 P-G. Organic 70–90% lower concentrations than corresponding soils. There severe knowledge gap concerning accumulated complex found biota health.

Published: Jan. 1, 2020

Transdisciplinary approaches that provide holistic views are essential to properly understand soil processes and the importance of society will be crucial in future integrate distinct disciplines into studies. A myriad challenges faces science at beginning 2020s. The main aim this overview is assess past achievements current regarding threats such as erosion contamination related different United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) including (1) food production, (2) ensure healthy lives reduce environmental risks (SDG3), (3) water availability (SDG6), (4) enhanced carbon sequestration because climate change (SDG13). Twenty experts from sciences offer perspectives on important research directions. Special attention must paid some concerns effective conservation strategies; new computational technologies, models, situ measurements bring insights in-soil process spatiotemporal scales, their relationships, dynamics, thresholds; impacts human activities, wildfires, microorganisms thereby biogeochemical cycles relationships; microplastics a potential pollutant; (5) green technologies for rehabilitation; (6) reduction greenhouse gas emissions by simultaneous nitrous oxide emission.

Selenium is an essential micronutrient required for the health of humans and lower plants, but its importance higher plants still being investigated. The biological functions Se related to human revolve around presence in 25 known selenoproteins (e.g., selenocysteine or 21st amino acid). Humans may receive their through plant uptake soil Se, foods enriched dietary supplements. nanoparticles (Se-NPs) have been applied biofortified feeds. Due low toxicity high efficiency, Se-NPs are used applications such as cancer therapy nano-medicines. nano-selenium be able support enhance productivity cultivated animals under stressful conditions because they antimicrobial anti-carcinogenic agents, with antioxidant capacity immune-modulatory efficacy. Thus, could inserted feeds fish livestock improvise stress resilience productivity. This review offers new insights biofortification edible farm environments.
