Research Progress on a Wide and Narrow Row Cropping System for Crops by Liqun Tang, Jian Song, Yongtao Cui, Honghuan Fan, Jianjun Wang

“…This study reviews the development and implementation of WNRC technology, focusing on its effects on crop growth, development, and environmental optimization. (1) Crop growth and environmental optimization: Modifying the row spacing in WNRC enhances light interception, air circulation, and the soil moisture distribution, creating an optimized growth environment that improves the photosynthetic efficiency and water use. (2) Genetic variation and yield performance: The performance of different crop varieties in WNRC systems varies, with specific varieties showing better adaptation to the altered spatial arrangement, leading to improved growth uniformity and higher yields. (3) Weed management: The planting density is optimized, reducing the need for herbicides and fostering more sustainable weed control methods. (4) Efficient input management: WNRC systems enhance the uniform application of fertilizers and pesticides, optimizing nutrient uptake, minimizing input wastage, and lowering the environmental impact. …”

A Monthly Water Balance Model for Vineyard Planning and Inter-Row Management by Maria Costanza Andrenelli, Sergio Pellegrini, Claudia Becagli, Alessandro Orlandini, Rita Perria, Paolo Storchi, Nadia Vignozzi

“…Vineyard is one of the most complex and vulnerable agroecosystems, and ongoing climate change makes it necessary to identify effective management and adaptation practices. For this reason, a water balance model tailored for viticulture was developed to be implemented within a Decision Support System (DSS) aimed at supporting winemakers both in the vineyard’s planning and management phase. …”

Tooth replacement of the filter-feeding pterosaur Forfexopterus and its implications for ecological adaptation by CHANG-FU ZHOU, FENGMIN FAN

“…Abstract A “comb-dentition”, characterized by long, needle-like, and closely-spaced teeth, is found in the ctenochasmatid pterosaurs as an adaptation for filter-feeding. However, little is known about their tooth replacement pattern, hindering our understanding of the development of the filter-feeding apparatus of the clade. …”
