Abstract In California, assessing the potential ecosystem services provided by soil amended with large quantities of recycled woodchips is essential information for farm biomass management. In this study, we evaluated the impacts of whole orchard recycling (WOR) on soil ecosystem services in a 4‐year‐old replanted almond orchard during the 2023 and ...

Abstract Eddy covariance (EC) measurements of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) over sites with multiple land cover classes may suffer from significant uncertainty due to heterogeneity in biological source/sink distribution and flux footprint variation, masking the “true” signal of the target system.

This article compares different production, economic, and selected environmental aspects of agroforestry systems in a standard (alley cropping) and a newly proposed design with fast-growing trees grown in short-rotation coppice.

Alley cropping agroforestry systems
Alley cropping agroforestry is a land use practice in which arable crops are grown between tree rows. In such agroforestry systems, non-crop herbaceous vegetation develops on the tree rows, resulting in understory vegetation strips (UVS). UVS are perceived both as reservoirs for weeds and opportunities for biodiversity conservation. The purpose of this

Alley cropping systems: key objectives
In an alley cropping system, trees are multifunctional: the aim is to provide a range of ecosystem services alongside wood and fruits. These include shelter for crops, host beneficial organisms, increase soil fertility and carbon storage, mitigate climate change, and provide protection against soil erosion.

ABSTRACT The plant endomembrane system and vesicle trafficking are central to plant immunity, mediating the targeted delivery and recycling of defence molecules during pathogen attack. Here, we investigated the functional role of soybean Vacuole Membrane Protein 1 (GmVMP1) in mediating resistance against soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines).
