Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self‐sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increasing ambitions for nature restoration and green energy. Meanwhile, the overall agricultural area shrinks due to land sealing.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.In a short‐term pot experiment, three legume‐based crop rotations are being tested for their effects on the P cycle and P use efficiency compared to maize monoculture. Legume‐based crop rotations stimulate the P cycle by increasing acid phosphatase activity and carboxylate exudation.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Legumes are the primary source of plant protein in both human and livestock diets and, therefore, play an essential role in nutrition. Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is a grain legume widely used in animal feed. Its nutritional properties, particularly its high protein content, make it an adequate component to enrich feedstuffs ...

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.

Population dynamics of Townsend's big‐eared bats: effect of age and drought on survival
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We estimated age‐specific yearly survival of female Townsend's big‐eared bats in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. We found that both juvenile and adult survival were negatively impacted by drought, and that detection probability was lower for hand‐recapture than for bats detected via pass‐through antenna arrays.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Antler characteristics are influenced by a combination of genetics, age, and environmental factors, notably habitat quality and resource availability. In this study, we explored how diverse environmental factors, including climate and land cover composition, affect antler size, tine configuration, and the distribution of record‐scoring white‐tailed ...

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,
