The contribution of wood‐inhabiting fungi and bacteria to dead wood decomposition varies along a regional climatic gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Dead wood decomposition is a crucial ecological function in forests, influenced by climate and facilitated by microbial communities. While fungi are considered the primary decomposers, bacteria also contribute, interacting with fungi in both facilitative and competitive

Assessing the agroecological performance and sustainability of Community Supported Agriculture farms in Flanders, Belgium

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Agroecology is receiving increasing attention and recognition as a concept for transitions to more sustainable agricultural and food systems. There is however a lack of characterization of agroecology in agricultural and food systems, while integrated ...

Plant Health and the Science of Pests and Diseases [PDF]

, 2008
The health/disease duality has developed alongside human history either as a struggle for survival or as a challenge of the human being to effectively get to know himself.

Landowners' Willingness to Participate in Temporary and Permanent Agri‐Environmental Schemes

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within the EU and beyond, voluntary agri‐environmental and climate schemes (AES) are used to curtail externalities from agricultural production including nitrate leaching, biodiversity degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper investigates and compares Danish landowners' preferences for temporary and permanent AES using a choice ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐based white pupae mutant lines in Bactrocera spp. for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

Agroecologia per nuovi paradigmi distrettuali integrati

Scienze del Territorio, 2018
Agroecology is a new sphere of thought and action embracing multiple dimensions: some scholars present it as a new science, others as crucible of experiences in motion, others as an integrated whole of knowledge and practices based on a new approach ...

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.
