Summary
This Special Issue aims to explore how airflow dynamics and various forms of micro-climate engineering—whether through biological amendments, physical modifications, or environmental interventions—affect nutrient absorption, translocation, and signaling mechanisms in plants. The goal is to compile recent advances that uncover physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of plants under different nutrient conditions and microenvironmental influences. The scope also includes approaches that integrate agronomy, plant science, soil science, and environmental engineering to enhance plant productivity and resilience under changing climatic and edaphic conditions.
Suggested Themes:
· Natural and artificial airflow effects on plant microclimate and nutrient dynamics;
· Role of organic, inorganic, and microbial inputs in engineering plant microenvironments;
· Mechanisms of nutrient uptake, translocation, and partitioning under varying airflow and microclimate conditions;
· Nutrient signaling pathways influenced by environmental modifications;
· Interaction between nutrient availability and plant stress responses;
· Enhancing nutrient use efficiency through climate and soil management;
· Microclimate and airflow influences on physiological and biochemical traits of plants;
· Impact of engineered plant environments on yield, quality, and ecosystem services;
· Modeling and monitoring of microclimate-induced nutrient responses;
· Integrated soil–plant–atmosphere management for sustainable agriculture.
Keywords
nutrients uptake, tranlocation and absorption. Plant physiology, growth and yield
