• Evaluating composted sewage sludge as a phosphorus fertilizer in wheat grown on soils with different properties 

  Guerrero-Gallardo, Lucía; Boubehziz, Sana; Campillo, María del Carmen del; Barrón, Vidal; Margenot, Andrew; Martín Santos, María Ángeles; Gutiérrez Martín, María del Carmen; Sánchez-Rodríguez, Antonio Rafael (Wiley, 2026)

  Urbanization generates significant amounts of sewage sludge (SS), with relatively high concentrations of plant nutrients such as phosphorus (P). When biochemically stabilized by composting, SS (composted sewage sludge ...

• Olive breeding for improving oil quality 

  Yılmaz-Düzyaman, Hande (Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2026)

  Over the past decades, olive growing has undergone a profound transformation driven by socioeconomic changes and technological advances. Traditional low-density, rainfed systems have largely been replaced by intensive, ...

• The inoculation with Pseudomonas simiae WCS417 strain promotes growth and the induction of iron-deficiency responses in cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.) 

  Aparicio, Miguel A.; Ruiz-Castilla, Francisco J.; Ramos, José; Romera, Francisco Javier; Lucena, Carlos (Springer Nature, 2025)

  Iron (Fe) deficiency poses a significant agronomic challenge in calcareous soils, particularly affecting dicot plants. Conventional production methods rely heavily on high-yielding varieties and the application of substantial ...

• What drives gullies in Spain’s olive landscapes? A regional analysis of gully activity 

  González, Paula; Peña, Adolfo; De Geeter, Sofie; Vanmaercke, Matthias; Poesen, Jean; Vanwalleghem, Tom (Elsevier, 2025)

  Gully erosion poses a significant threat to Mediterranean basins. However, precise spatial data on gullies location at regional scale is scarce. Current models often use the topographic threshold index, TT, which works ...

• Differential Effects of Organic Amendments on Soil P Availability, Plant P Uptake Efficiency and Root Traits of Durum Wheat at its Earliest Stage in Calcareous and Non-Calcareous Soils: A Microcosm Approach 

  Scarpino, Giulio; Guerrero-Gallardo, Lucía; Gelsomino, Antonio; Sánchez-Rodríguez, Antonio Rafael (Springer Nature, 2025)

  This study assesses the effect of commonly used organic amendments on soil phosphorus (P) availability, P uptake, growth and root traits of durum wheat seedlings grown in two soils with contrasting properties. After a ...
