High-temperature stress reduces global rice yield by 42.3%, with seed-setting rate declines of 16-26%, but cultivar replacement (+20%) and optimized fertilization (+48%) are the most effective mitigation strategies, while sowing-date adjustment is becoming less effective in the Yangtze River Basin due to warming.
Vegetation Types and Plant Invasion Shape Pollination Interactions on a Tropical Island

BMC Plant Biology · 2026 · Q1 · SJR 1.00
Aristolochia gibertii, a South American trap flower introduced to China, effectively recruits native drosophilid flies (over 70% of visitors, primarily Drosophila ficusphila) using a coordinated suite of mechanical, temporal, and chemical traits that mimic yeast odors, demonstrating ecological fitting.
Nitrogen use efficiency thresholds for rice in Bangladesh: Evidence from large-scale farmer-managed field data
Field Crops Research · 2026 · Q1 · SJR 1.00
Applying more than 140 kg N ha⁻¹ to rice in Bangladesh yields minimal grain increases (255 kg ha⁻¹ for an extra 38 kg N) while reducing nitrogen-use efficiency by 46.3%, according to analysis of 13,144 farmer fields.
