Agricultural diversification promotes multiple ecosystem services without compromising yield

Science Advances, 2020
Diversification practices benefit biodiversity, pollination, pest control, nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and water regulation. Enhancing biodiversity in cropping systems is suggested to promote ecosystem services, thereby reducing dependency on ...

Complex drought patterns robustly explain global yield loss for major crops

Scientific Reports, 2022
Multi-purpose crops as maize, rice, soybean, and wheat are key in the debate concerning food, land, water and energy security and sustainability. While strong evidence exists on the effects of climate variability on the production of these crops, so far ...

An individual-based modelling approach to estimate landscape connectivity for bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Background. Preserving connectivity, or the ability of a landscape to support species movement, is among the most commonly recommended strategies to reduce the negative effects of climate change and human land use development on species.

Uncertainty in soil data can outweigh climate impact signals in global crop yield simulations

Nature Communications, 2016
Global gridded crop models are increasingly used to assess climate change impacts on food production. Here, the authors assess crop yield uncertainty associated with soil data input, reporting that soil type strongly influences yield estimates, and may ...

Climatic Variability Caused by Topographic Barrier Prevents the Northward Spread of Invasive Ageratina adenophora

Plants, 2022
Ageratina adenophora (Spreng.) R.M.King & H.Rob. is one of the most threatening invasive alien plants in China. Since its initial invasion into Yunnan in the 1940s, it spread rapidly northward to southern Mount Nyba in Sichuan, which lies on the eastern ...
