Long-term effects of cropping systems on the earthworm population in a loam soil [PDF]
Six cropping systems, ranging from conventional arable without livestock to organic livestock farming dominated by ley, have been compared in 1990 and 2004 in SE Norway. Ley in the crop rotation increased density and biomass of earthworms and channels in

Print Conventions and Authority in Three English Recipe Manuscripts
Abstract This article considers the uses of stylistic and visual conventions drawn from print books in three seventeenth‐ and eighteenth‐century recipe manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania. We begin by analysing the title page, dedicatory epistle, catchwords, and headers of MS Codex 627, which imitates an edition of Hugh Plat's Delights for ...

Insights of agricultural sustainability by the use of earthworms
Pesticides and other agrochemicals are introduced into the soil through agricultural practices. Earthworms contribute to the ecosystem services, such as pedogenesis and soil aeration, water regulation, and bioremediation of pesticides and chemicals, act ...

Effect of White clover (Trifolium repens cv. Huia) cover crop on agronomic properties and soil biology in an organic peach orchard [PDF]
In orchards, cover crops are interesting alternative strategies to tillage or chemical herbicides for managing weeds in the tree row. However, little is known about the effect of cover crops on agronomic properties and soil biology in organic orchards ...

Abstract Soils serve as a major reservoir for atmospheric carbon and could play a key role in mitigating climate change. Since deep soil layers can store substantial amounts of organic carbon, they should be included in carbon and nitrogen estimates.

Investigating the Potential Consequences of Woodland Creation for British Mammal Populations
We simulated the conversion of suitable areas in the UK to woodland, according to the current and target woodland creation rates, and assessed how this would affect habitat availability and potential population sizes of British mammals. We predicted that most assessed mammals would benefit or be unaffected by planned woodland creation, but some ...
