Main conclusion Brown algal extracts increase crop yield by stimulating growth and enhancing resistance to environmental stress, making them a sustainable and effective biostimulant for modern agriculture. Abstract Population growth, climate change, and intensive agrochemical use pose significant challenges to environmental sustainability and food security. Seaweeds, particularly brown algae, have attracted considerable attent...

Lightning associated with thunderstorms (TS) represents a major natural hazard worldwide. The occurrence of lightning is primarily governed by the dynamic and microphysical characteristics of thunderclouds, while the environmental conditions in which these clouds develop play a crucial role in modulating lightning activity. Information on the spatial and temporal variability of lightning and convection provides valuable insigh...

Aim Microbiome rewilding seeks to harness plant‐microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture, assuming that ancestral microbial partners have been lost during domestication and geographical spread. Designing microbiome rewilding strategies requires a quantitative and predictive understanding of the fundamental ecological processes—selection, dispersal, and drift—driving microbial assembly and persistence in the rhizosphere...
