Nature Water, Published online: 05 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s44221-026-00642-9 Crop models increasingly project that irrigation can offset agricultural losses from climate change, informing major adaptation investments worldwide. Yet these models may systematically overestimate irrigation’s protective capacity because the representation of how irrigation alters crop thermal environments remains inco…

Every yellowtail snapper excretes ammonia. It cannot help doing so; it is a metabolic inevitability, the nitrogen-rich byproduct of a fish eating, breathing, living at commercial density in a tank on Virginia Key, Florida. In a conventional aquaculture operation, that ammonia accumulates in the effluent water until it becomes a problem, sometimes a serious one, for the marine environment downstre…

Protected cultivation systems offer opportunities for improving potato productivity but are often constrained by inefficient maize stover utilization and suboptimal fertilization practices. In this study, a 4 × 4 factorial experiment was conducted using the potato cultivar ‘Jishu No. 1’ to decode the rhizosphere microbial mechanisms underpinning plant growth and yield enhancement under greenhouse…

IntroductionSustainable management of bioactive-rich byproducts, including pomegranate peels, is crucial to support the rise of environmentally resilient intensive camel farming. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of pomegranate peel extract (PPE) (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg) on methane production gas production, nutrient digestibility, and predictive values in camels through in…

Methane (CH4) generated during ruminal fermentation in ruminants is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and represents a substantial loss of dietary energy. Therefore, mitigating enteric CH4 emissions through safe and efficient nutritional strategies is of considerable ecological and economic significance. Coconut oil (CO) has received increasing attention due to its distinctive fatty…

Millions of tonnes of plastic waste accumulate in landfills and oceans every year. One promising response is to engineer microbes to break the plastic down into useful chemical building blocks. However, teaching a bacterium to digest plastic efficiently demands fine-tuning not just one gene, but entire clusters of genes working in concert, like upgrading every machine on a factory assembly line r…
