Optimizing Water and Nitrogen Strategies to Improve Forage Oat Yield and Quality on the Tibetan Plateau Using APSIM

Agronomy, 2022
There is a great need for improving oat forage production to increase forage supply and protect grassland ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau. We conducted two field experiments and modeling work to investigate the responses of oat (Avena sativa L.) forage

Residual Effects of 50-Year-Term Different Rotations and Continued Bare Fallow on Soil CO₂ Emission, Earthworms, and Fertility for Wheat Crops

Plants, 2022
In this study, our investigated hypothesis was that different pre-crops would have different effects on earthworm activity and soil CO2 emissions. We also hypothesized that a pre-crop clover–timothy mixture would perform best in terms of increasing the ...

Soil Water Capacity, Pore Size Distribution, and CO₂ Emission in Different Soil Tillage Systems and Straw Retention

Plants, 2022
The long-term implementation of crop rotation and tillage has an impact on the soil environment through inputs and soil disturbance, which in turn has an impact on soil quality. Tillage has a long-term impact on the agroecosystems.

Mixed Effects of Soil Compaction on the Nitrogen Cycle Under Pea and Wheat

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Soil compaction caused by highly mechanized agriculture can constrain soil microbial diversity and functioning. Physical pressure on the soil decreases macropores and thereby limits oxygen diffusion.

Asexual reproduction of a few genotypes favored the invasion of the cereal aphid Rhopalosiphum padi in Chile [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are insects with one of the highest potentials for invasion. Several aphid species are present globally due to introduction events; they represent important pests of agroecosystems.

Disentangling the effects of environmental and communities’ factors on species’ biomass inequality in Qinghai-Tibetan grassland systems

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Plant biomass (size) inequality among and within species is central to maintenance of species diversity. Understanding its role in community dynamic and variation with environments in stressful alpine systems where plant communities are structured by a ...

The Effect of Monoculture, Crop Rotation Combinations, and Continuous Bare Fallow on Soil CO₂ Emissions, Earthworms, and Productivity of Winter Rye after a 50-Year Period

Plants, 2022
One of the main goals of the 21st century’s developing society is to produce the necessary amount of food while protecting the environment. Globally, particularly in Lithuania and other northern regions with similar climatic and soil conditions, there is

The Biomass Productivity of Maize, Hemp and Faba Bean Multi-Crops

Agronomy, 2022
Crop biomass is valuable not only from a nutritional and fodder point of view, but also from an energetic point of view. The main task is to increase biomass production while maintaining low nutrient and pesticide requirements and low ecological ...

Emmonsiosis of rodents in an agroecosystem [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 1998
Adiaspores of Emmonsia crescens were found in the lungs of 62.1% of 87 adult rodents from 10 windbreaks compared to only 8.2% of 184 adult rodents caught in 10 adjacent arable fields in South Moravia, Czechland. A significantly higher mean weight proportion of plant remnants (predominantly small roots) was present in the soil from windbreaks (0.74 ...
