  1. 🌱 #EvoLand C5 candidate prototype develops high-resolution Gross Primary Productivity data (10-daily, 10 m) for #grassland and #cropland across Europe.

    🌡️ A key improvement is the refined drought and temperature stress component, which better captures the impact of extreme weather on vegetation productivity.

  2. "Fertilizers that shed #microplastics are increasingly spreading on America’s #cropland, research shows, raising new worry about the soil contamination and safety of the US food supply.

    There are many types of slow release fertilizers, including those that are encapsulated with biodegradable materials, Salehi said. However, the plastic versions work well so the industry for now seems to be sticking with them, she added."

  3. #Agriculture is a key driver of #landuse change and terrestrial #carbon & biodiversity loss. But its environment #footprint can be reduced by sustained #productivity growth: Globally, historic crop improvement (1961-2015) resulted net in less #cropland expansion, lower GHG #emissions, and more plant & animal species being saved from extinction (plus the higher #yields generally lowered commodity prices of staple crops): doi.org/10.1073/pnas.240483912 #biodiversity #foodsecurity
