The cultivation of table grapes in Brazil is economically significant, with production influenced by edaphoclimatic factors and rootstock selection. cultivar ‘BRS Núbia’ (Vitis vinifera L. x Vitis labrusca L.) a promising alternative; however, its phenological behavior, thermal requirements, compatibility different rootstocks under subtropical conditions require further evaluation. This study aimed to assess the duration stages, requirement, ripening dynamics grapevines grafted onto ‘IAC 572 Jales’, 766 Campinas’, ‘Paulsen 1103’. experiment was conducted São Manuel, Paulo, during 2021 2022 cycles using split-plot experimental design (3 × 2). Evaluations included stages from pruning budburst, flowering, fruit set, onset ripening, harvest, as well curve accumulation harvest. Rootstocks did not significantly affect (p > 0.05) stages; differences were observed between cycles. cycle longer (167.7 days) compared (142.6 days), greater (1871.7 GDDs vs. 1743.4 GDDs). analysis revealed that, across both evaluated, required an average 1807.5 growing degree days Soluble solids content ranged 17.43 18.50°Brix, titratable acidity decreased throughout maturation. maturation index highest vines 1103’, indicating positive influence on quality. grapevine exhibited mean requirement (GDDs) complete cycle, which lasted approximately 150 conditions.

Droughts, intensified by climate change and human activities, pose a significant threat to winter wheat cultivation in the Huang-Huai-Hai (HHH) region. Soil moisture drought indices are crucial for monitoring agricultural droughts, while challenges such as data accessibility soil heterogeneous necessitate use of numerical simulations their effective regional-scale applications. The existing simulation methods like physical process models machine learning (ML) algorithms have limitations: struggle with parameter acquisition at regional scales, ML face difficulties settings due presence crops. As more advanced complex branch ML, deep even greater limitations related crop growth management. To address these challenges, this study proposed novel hybrid system that merged model. Initially, we employed Random Forest (RF) regression model integrated multi-source environmental factors estimate prior sowing wheat, achieving an average coefficient determination (R2) 0.8618, root mean square error (RMSE) 0.0182 m3 m−3, absolute (MAE) 0.0148 m−3 across eight depths. RF provided vital parameters operation Water Balance Winter Wheat (WBWW) scale, enabling assessments combined Moisture Anomaly Percentage Index (SMAPI). Subsequent comparative analyses between system-generated results actual disaster records during two events highlighted its efficacy. Finally, utilized examine spatiotemporal variations patterns HHH region over past decades. findings revealed overall intensification conditions decline SMAPI rate −0.021% per year. Concurrently, there has been shift patterns, characterized increase both frequency extremity events, duration intensity individual decreased majority Additionally, identified northeastern, western, southern areas requiring concentrated attention targeted intervention strategies. These efforts signify notable application fusion techniques integration within big context, thereby facilitating prevention, management, mitigation

Agricultural intensification often contributes to soil degradation. Mulch and biochar help reduce erosion runoff while improving organic matter crop habitat. However, optimal application strategies the combined advantages of mulch remain underexplored. This study aimed evaluate how affect hydrology, erosion, phytotoxicity, under mixed layered strategies: (i) mix (2.8% by weight); (ii) layer (surface 10 Mg ha−1); (iii) (2 ha−1 straw mulch); (iv) + (a 2 on top a ha−1). Thirty-minute rainfall simulations (at 85.6 mm h−1) sandy loam soils vineyard olive orchard tested treatment effects hydrology erosion. The leachate collected from was used test treatments using Lactuca sativa L. Runoff interrill decreased 52–91% 55–81%, respectively, with greatest reductions in that included layer. Biochar increased root length (29–45%), had no significant effect. performed best, highlighting products’ complementary benefits reducing degradation

Understanding of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) and its research progress applications is critical to answer scientific questions related climate change. While numerous papers based on CMIP have been published, there no quantitative study examining variability, predictability, change supported by CMIP. Therefore, statistical characteristics CMIP-related publications, including journals, disciplines, co-occurrence burst detection keywords, bibliographic coupling, were analyzed using bibliometric analysis. The results show that has increased exponentially from 2000 2023. About 20% was published in Journal Climate Dynamics. spanned several meteorology, atmospheric science, geosciences, environmental sciences. United States, China, Kingdom ranked top three for publications. prominent focus involved whole system, behavior, carbon cycle, sea surface temperature, ice, modeling, bias correction, simulations, sensitivity, extreme events, soil moisture, hydrology, future This can help relevant scientists better understand developments trends research, thereby facilitating use data.

The intensifying global demand for food presents significant challenges sustainable pig production, particularly in the context of escalating input costs, environmental degradation, and resource scarcity. Life cycle assessment provides a comprehensive framework quantifying impacts identifying production hotspots within systems. Feed manure management are consistently identified as major contributors, emphasising need targeted interventions. Although soybean meal remains key protein source, its association with deforestation biodiversity loss is driving an interest more alternatives. In temperate climates, faba beans offer promising, locally sourced option, though their wider adoption limited by amino acid imbalances anti-nutritional factors. Grain preservation another critical consideration, post-harvest losses fungal contamination compromise feed quality animal health. Organic has emerged energy-efficient, cost-effective alternative to industrial drying, improving storage stability reducing fossil fuel dependence. Additional nutritional strategies, including dietary crude reduction, carbohydrate source modification, additive inclusion, maternal interventions, can enhance nutrient utilisation, intestinal health, herd resilience while mitigating impact. This review explores practical feed-based strategies support sustainable, resilient, resource-efficient contribute security.

Climate change and variability are characterized by unpredictable extreme weather events. They adversely impact the highly susceptible smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, who heavily rely on rain-fed agriculture. smart agriculture (CSA) practices have been extensively promoted as offering long-term solutions to changing climate conditions, while enhancing productivity sustainability of African agricultural systems. Despite this, adoption rate remains low among farmers. Understanding factors that influence these this key farming community is therefore necessary increase their adoption. In paper, we review summarize findings from existing studies CSA Africa. Our reveals land tenure security, access information extension services, affiliation group membership positively On other hand, gender, risk perception, off-farm income had conflicting effects reporting both positive negative influences We conclude options local-specific, development implementation should emphasize locally tailored knowledge, skills, resources.
