Climate‐Resilient Crop Production Under Agrivoltaics: Experimental Evaluation of Amaranth Production With Semi‐Transparent Photovoltaic Modules in Canada Under Changing Climates

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change threatens global food security, requiring climate‐smart systems that enhance both crop resilience and sustainable energy production. While agrivoltaics is recognized for combining solar power generation with agriculture, its effects on emerging stress‐tolerant crops such as amaranth remain largely unexplored, particularly under ...

Rotating Intercrops in Continuous Maize Cultivation: Interaction Between Main Crop, Intercrops, and Weeds

Agronomy
Continuous cropping leads to declines in soil productivity and biodiversity, as well as a deterioration of overall phytosanitary conditions. What if we rotate the intercrops instead of the main crops?

CQESTR Simulation of Management Practice Effects on Long-Term Soil Organic Carbon [PDF]

, 2007
Management of soil organic matter (SOM) is important for soil productivity and responsible utilization of crop residues for additional uses. CQESTR, pronounced “sequester,” a contraction of “C sequestration” (meaning C storage), is a C balance model that

Exploring Farmers' Intentions to Mitigate Climate Change Through the Lens of the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major challenge requiring farmers to adopt sustainable practices. As climate policies often depend on voluntary action, understanding what motivates farmers is essential. This study applies the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit (TRGP) to assess key factors influencing Hungarian farmers' intentions to mitigate climate change ...

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.

Stage‐specific biological nitrogen fixation depends on distinct carbon and nitrogen availability in long‐term fertilized paddy fields

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Industrial Haber–Bosch provides 32 Tg nitrogen (N) per year to global croplands. Such large amounts of N fertilization will reshape soil N cycles. One uncertainty is whether and how these long‐term N inputs impact soil biological N2 fixation (BNF) associated with plant ...

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...
