Abstract Background Soil‐biodegradable mulch films (SBF) are used increasingly to enhance crop yields while addressing soil pollution and disposal issues. Another sustainable practice gaining attention is the use of soil amendments derived from waste, such as insect frass from Hermetia illucens.

Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...

Does Ivermectin Pollute the Surroundings of Swine Farms?
This study assessed ivermectin residues in faeces and environmental samples from intensive swine farms in Emilia‐Romagna, Italy. Faecal concentrations varied by administration route, with oral treatment leading to higher early excretion. Residues in fertilised soil sometimes exceeded ecotoxic thresholds, highlighting environmental risks and the need ...

ABSTRACT Few processes are as decisive as predation in shaping the structure and dynamics of ecological communities. For most predator species, however, the number of prey items killed by a predator in a day (predation rate) remains impossible to assess because direct observations are scarce or impossible to acquire.

Sequential Thresholds Shape Drylands' Multitrophic Response to Aridification
We analyzed biodiversity responses across 290 global dryland ecoregions and found that all taxonomic and trophic groups, from microbes to mammals, showed abrupt threshold declines with increasing aridity. Thresholds varied (aridity 0.45–0.95), leading to 19%–54% biodiversity losses, most strongly in herbivores and detritivores and further exacerbated ...

The Fraction of Carbon in Soil Organic Matter as a National‐Scale Soil Process Indicator
This research examined the quantity of carbon held in soil organic matter (SOM) across different habitats, using data from nearly 10,000 samples gathered from Europe and other areas. The results revealed a strong relationship between soil categories, types of habitats, and the ability of SOM to store carbon.

An Evaluation of the Economic, Environmental and Social Impacts of NSW DPI Investments in IPM Research in Invertebrate Rice Pests [PDF]
Research into IPM technologies has been conducted by NSW DPI for over 20 years. Evaluating the returns from investment in specific research and development projects is an important component of the NSW DPI science and research program.

ABSTRACT Stem dehydration is critical in predicting drought‐driven tree mortality. Yet, how it coordinates with stomatal closure, xylem embolism, and aquaporin‐mediated water transport regulation remains unknown. Two angiosperms (beech and olive) and two conifers (pine and juniper) of contrasted embolism resistance were selected to assess the sequence ...
