Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Participatory fuzzy cognitive modelling reveals leverage points for agroecological adoption in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Global institutions are increasingly calling for an agroecological transition of our food systems to promote sustainable farmer livelihoods, safeguard agrobiodiversity and foster socio‐ecological resilience to a changing climate. Yet adoption remains limited, and there is a paucity of research examining how local conditions enable and ...

Innovation and research in organic farming: A multi‐level approach to facilitate cooperation among stakeholders [PDF]

, 2010
A wider range of stakeholders is expected to be involved in organic research. A decision‐support tool is needed to define priorities and to allocate tasks among institutions. Based on research and management experience in organic research,

Movement Patterns of Carabid Beetles Between Heterogenous Crop and Noncrop Habitats [PDF]

, 2018
Habitats adjacent to crop fields can increase natural enemy populations by providing additional food, shelter and overwintering sites. While many studies have focused on the role of non-crop borders for supporting natural enemies, here we investigate the

Omics Insights Into the Effects of Highbush Blueberry and Cranberry Crop Agroecosystems on Honey Bee Health and Physiology

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.

Soil microbial biodiversity supports the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions under elevated CO2 and warming

Communications Earth & Environment
The contribution of the soil microbes to agroecosystem multifunctionality under global change remains poorly understood. Here, based on data from a field experiment involving elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) and warming in a rice-wheat agroecosystem, we ...
