Article Abstract

The utilization rate of phosphogypsum (PG) is currently low, and prolonged storage poses environmental pollution. Therefore, there is an urgent need to promote resource-efficient utilization. This study investigated the alterations in the characteristics of modified PG artificial soil (MPG-soil) and their influence on buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) growth using hierarchical land reclamation technique (HLRT) and integrated land reclamation technique (ILRT). The results demonstrated that MPG-soil reduced bulk density (3.8-6.9%), enhanced moisture content (up to 22%), and improved enzymatic activity. HLRT achieved superior phosphorus mineralization (7.53 U/g S-NP activity) and increased buckwheat yield by 130.6% over controls. Despite elevated soil salinity, MPG amendments restricted heavy metal accumulation in grains (BCF < 0.3), though Pb levels exceeded national standards due to background contamination. Nutrient dynamics revealed increased phosphorus availability but reduced organic matter, necessitating supplemental fertilization. The Nemerow index confirmed all treatments as "Safe and Clean", while principal component analysis highlighted HLRT's efficacy in balancing soil structure and fertility. Proline accumulation in high-PG treatments indicated adaptive stress responses. MPG-soil effectively contained heavy metal migration, ensuring agricultural product safety. This study assessed the potential of PG for land reclamation, and provided guidelines for its safe utilization in agriculture.

Coastal reclamation area is an agricultural region formed by artificial transformation of coastal tidal flats. Changes in land use types would reshape regional carbon cycling patterns. Methane (CH) is a short-lived greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential, the emission of which is a key contributor to the accelerated global climate change.

Hemp possesses significant healthcare value due to its rich composition of unsaturated fatty acids and a distinctive golden ratio of linoleic acid to α-linolenic acid. As a promising special-oil crop, it holds substantial potential for development and utilization. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying its lipid metabolic pathways remain poorly understood.

More land must be reclaimed for farming due to the expanding population and lack of arable land. Since weeds are considered to be one of the primary causes of agricultural obstacles, the current study sets out to ascertain the weed diversity of the recovered lands in Middle Egypt. We selected eight crop plants, five winter crops and two summer crops - along with five orchards to identify their weed diversity.

Agricultural intensification and land reclamation have transformed natural wetlands into farmland across East Asia, which has been a threat to bird diversity, particularly wetland and grassland specialists. Despite extensive research in warm temperate and tropical rice-growing regions, bird communities in snow-rich agricultural wetland landscapes remain poorly studied. Here we present a dataset describing bird assemblages in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape surrounding Lake Kahokugata, located in a snow-rich region on the Sea of Japan side of central Japan.

Introduction: A rapidly growing population and ongoing urbanization continue to strain agriculture's capacity to maintain a stable food supply, both through direct impacts such as land reclamation and indirect effects driven by accelerating climate change. One of the major consequences of climate change is the shifting geographic range of infectious plant pathogens, particularly , the causative agent of bacterial wilt. This pathogen poses a significant threat to several economically important crops including tomatoes, bananas, eggplants, and tobacco.
