Effects of climate change on plant pathogens and host-pathogen interactions

Rachid Lahlali, Mohammed Taoussi, Salah‐Eddine Laasli et al. · 31 May 2024

Crop production stands as a pivotal pillar of global food security, but its sustainability faces complex challenges from plant diseases, which pose a substantial threat to agricultural productivity. Climate change significantly alters the dynamics of plant pathogens, primarily through changes in temperature, humidity, and precipitation patterns, which can enhance the virulence and spread of various…

The deployment of intercropping and agroforestry as adaptation to climate change

Alexandra J. Burgess, Maria Correa-Cano, Ben Parkes · 17 May 2022

Food security is threatened by the combined pressures of increasing populations and climate change. Agricultural land is vulnerable to overexploitation and environmental change. Within this review, we identify the role of multiple cropping systems as an adaptation method towards climate change. Intercropping, the relay or simultaneous cultivation of two or more crops, and agroforestry, the…

Nitrogen (N) transformation in paddy rice field: Its effect on N uptake and relation to improved N management

Junfei Gu, Jianchang Yang · 1 Mar 2022

Nitrogen (N) is pivotal to crop yield, and the application of N fertilizer in crop production systems is a crucial aspect of modern crop management practices and one of the determining factors to increase crop yield and thereby keeping pace with human population increase. However, most of the N fertilizers (>60%) added to rice fields…

Carbon sequestration potential, challenges, and strategies towards climate action in smallholder agricultural systems of South Asia

M.L. Jat, Debashis Chakraborty, J. K. Ladha et al. · 1 Mar 2022

South Asia is a global hotspot for climate change with enormous pressure on land and water resources for feeding the burgeoning population. The agricultural production systems are highly vulnerable in the region and is primarily dominated by small and marginal farmers with intensive farming practices that had favored the loss of carbon (C) from soil.…

Understanding of crop lodging and agronomic strategies to improve the resilience of rapeseed production to climate change

Wei Wu, Farooq Shah, B. L. · 14 May 2022

Crop lodging has long been recognized as one of the severe yield limiting constraints for rapeseed (Brassica napus) production worldwide. Lodging directly impairs seed yield and quality by interfering with photosynthesis, dry matter accumulation and distribution, or indirectly affects these traits by causing difficulties during the harvest and postharvest stages. Environmental factors, as well as…

Crop and Environment template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Crop and Environment format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Crop and Environment template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
