Pig slurry incorporation with tillage does not reduce short-term soil CO2 fluxes [PDF]

, 2018
Tillage and organic fertilization impact short-term soil CO2 fluxes. However, the interactive effect of these two management practices has been rarely studied under field conditions.

Enteric and manure-derived methane and nitrogen emissions as well as metabolic energy losses in cows fed balanced diets based on maize, barley or grass hay

Animal, 2011
Ruminant husbandry constitutes the most important source of anthropogenic methane (CH4). In addition to enteric (animal-derived) CH4, excreta are another source of CH4, especially when stored anaerobically.

Sustainable irrigation based on co-regulation of soil water supply and atmospheric evaporative demand

Nature Communications, 2021
Irrigation is the most important use of water. A newly developed irrigation management scheme leads to a significant reduction in water use and increase in economic gains while maintaining crop yields, presenting opportunities for real-world impacts ...

Population dynamics of Meloidogyne graminicola in soil in different types of direct-seeded rice agroecosystems in Hunan Province, China

Journal of Nematology, 2023
The rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola is increasingly widely distributed in China and has had a severe incidence in Hunan Province. It is thus necessary to investigate its population dynamics in paddy fields.

Evaluation of greenhouse gases emission based on energy consumption in wheat Agroecosystems

Energy Reports, 2017
In order to have sustainable development, it is necessary to manage energy use and greenhouse gases (GHG) emission in all production processes. The aim of this study was to compare wheat production in dryland and irrigated agroecosystems in terms of ...

A framework and toolset for standardizing agroecosystem indicators

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Standard indicators and measurements are key to cross-scale agroecosystem assessments. While the need to standardize indicators is broadly recognized, inconsistencies in indicator calculations from common measurements may yield discrepancies in indicator

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...
