Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Phenotypic, physicochemical, sensory, and functional attributes of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from Brazilian Amazonian floodplain and upland ecosystems

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from the Brazilian Amazon plays an important role in national production. While most cocoa is cultivated in upland systems, floodplain ecosystems represent a traditional and distinct production environment that may influence bean composition and quality.

Timing Matters: A Meta‐Analysis of BREAST‐Q Administration in Tissue‐Expander and Implant‐Based Breast Reconstruction

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background BREAST‐Q is the most widely used patient‐reported outcome measure following breast reconstruction, yet no consensus exists on optimal timing or duration of administration. We analyzed BREAST‐Q follow‐up after implant‐based reconstruction, comparing direct‐to‐implant (DTI) and two‐stage tissue expander (TE), to determine how outcomes

Annual survival and resource selection of juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee, USA, selected areas with smaller patch sizes and lower proportions of developed land. Annual survival was 0.73 and decreased as dense land cover such as young and deciduous forest increased and cover types with high visibility decreased. Abstract Documenting juvenile male wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Land Use and Land Cover Analysis for Solid Waste Management in NCT Delhi Using Fusion Aware Segformer

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) analysis is a fundamental requirement for urban solid waste management (SWM); however, conventional LULC analysis methods are not well suited to the spatio‐temporal variability, multi‐sensor heterogeneity, and seasonal variations of highly dynamic urban environments.

Carbon‐Fixing Bacterial Network Complexity Mediates Soil Multifunctionality in a Panax notoginseng‐Pinus armandii Agroforestry System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autotrophic carbon‐fixing bacteria (CFB) are central contributors to soil carbon sequestration and biogeochemical carbon cycling in agroforestry ecosystems and can act as reliable biological indicators for evaluating agroforestry ecosystem sustainability.

Rise and fall of forest loss and industrial plantations in Borneo (2000–2017)

Conservation Letters, 2019
The links between plantation expansion and deforestation in Borneo are debated. We used satellite imagery to map annual loss of old‐growth forests, expansion of industrial plantations (oil palm and pulpwood), and their overlap in Borneo from 2001 to 2017.

Biological Salt‐Pump Effect: Long‐Term Stand Development of Haloxylon ammodendron and Its Role in Reshaping Soil Hydrothermal and Salinity Regimes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation in the desert–oasis ecotone induces soil desiccation and secondary salinization. However, the seasonal dynamics of soil water–heat–salt interactions across plantations of different stand ages in arid regions remain unclear. Here, we investigated the seasonal patterns and coupled relationships of soil water–heat–salt dynamics in ...

Forêts ou plantations d'arbres ? (Forests or plantations of trees ?)

Bulletin de l'Association de géographes français, 1988
Abstract. - The author shows that the evolution of forestry practice comes to share the french forestland into 3 parts : some protected forests, some forests devoted to leisure and plantations of trees with a high yield in wood. He thinks that only the nature-like forests can preserve the genetic potential and the capacity of production.
