L’agroforesterie : atouts et points de vigilance pour répondre aux défis de l’élevage bio

INRAE Productions Animales
La philosophie de l’agriculture biologique implique que les pratiques agricoles s’inspirent des mécanismes naturels de développement du vivant. À ce titre, la déconnexion des productions animales et végétales opérée depuis la deuxième moitié du XXe ...

Can Solar‐Powered Irrigation Systems Naturally Meet Crop Water Requirements? Proof of Concept From a Case Study in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1423-1435, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Irrigation scheduling is crucial for ensuring precise water delivery to crops. However, in many sub‐Saharan African irrigation schemes, water is applied without considering crop water needs, resulting in low crop water productivity and low yields. Solar‐powered irrigation systems can automatically meet these needs by utilizing solar radiation,

A social network analysis of the European science–policy–society interface on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Despite the wealth of evidence on biodiversity status, trends, and policy options in Europe, knowledge often fails to inform policy makers and decision makers effectively. Implementing the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 will require the transformation of engagement and exchange between knowledge providers and policy and decision makers ...

Suburban Areas Provide Refuge for Carabids in Cities With High Climate Seasonality and Urban Heat Island Effects: A Global Meta‐Analysis

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are a highly diverse group of soil‐associated organisms with varied biological functions, diet preferences and mobility. Their diversity has made them a popular focus in urbanisation research. However, studies on urbanisation's impact on Carabid species richness and abundance have yielded inconsistent

Drift Foraging by Allopatric and Sympatric Atlantic Salmon and Brown Trout Parr Under Rapid Flow Fluctuations

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1546-1557, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Hydropeaking may result in behavioral responses in riverine organisms that experience rapid flow fluctuations. In stream fish, the balance between energy spent on swimming and foraging vs. food intake affects fitness, a balance strongly influenced by flow conditions.

The surrounding landscape affects ecosystem multifunctionality in oilseed rape fields

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2283-2295, September 2025.
Our findings suggest that diverse landscapes are required to ensure the simultaneous delivery of a bundle of ecosystem functions in oilseed rape fields. Altogether, our findings indicate that landscape management should not only promote different semi‐natural elements but also should target limitation of dilution effects.

Reduced temporal turnover in carabid communities enhances biomass stability in agricultural landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1410-1421, July 2025.
The interannual stability of the carabid biomass in agricultural fields can be maximised by supporting the in‐field mean alpha‐richness that reduces their temporal beta‐diversity. Increasing crop phenology diversity at the landscape level also stabilises carabid biomass over time. Abstract While the temporal stability of plant communities has been well
