Aims: Wetlands in East Africa are important ecosystems for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provisioning, yet threatened by degradation and conversion into croplands. Conservation and land use management ...

Phenology models are crucial tools for assessing climate change impacts in forestry, ecology and agriculture. Such models are typically calibrated with observational or experimental data and validated with a set of independent ...

The impacts of weather, climate variability and climate change on agricultural production underline the increasing importance of actionable agro-climatic services. Transitioning from supply-driven provision of climate and ...

Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are energy-rich molecules harboring one or more diphosphate moieties. PP-InsPs are found in all eukaryotes evaluated and their functional versatility is reflected in the various cellular ......

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) can modulate the activity, localization and interactions of proteins and (re)define their biological function. Understanding how changing environments can alter cellular processes ...

While many pesticides are detrimental to human health and the environment, drastically reducing their use andrisks in agriculture has been set as a key target for global environmental policies. To this end, redesigning ...

Introduction: Many atmospheric aerosols are hygroscopic and play an important role in cloud formation. Similarly, aerosols become sites of micro-condensation when they deposit to the upper and lower surfaces ...

Dormancy in temperate fruit trees is a mechanism of temporary growth suspension, which is vital for tree survival during winter. Studies on this phenomenon frequently employ scientific methods that aim to detect the timing ......

Background of the study – Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) production faces significant challenges, with biennial (or alternate) bearing being a major obstacle to stable yields. Natural high crop load (ON-year) ......
