Hierarchical modelling of species sensitivity distribution: development and application to the case of diatoms exposed to several herbicides [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 The Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) is a key tool to assess the ecotoxicological threat of contaminant to biodiversity. It predicts safe concentrations for a contaminant in a community. Widely used, this approach suffers from several drawbacks: i)summarizing the sensitivity of each species by a single value entails a loss of valuable information

Herbicidal pollution—pollen damage due to herbicides
Environmental Pollution (1970), 1977 Abstract The maximisation of agricultural yields has been related to the utilisation of pesticides and, as a result, herbicidal control of weeds has gathered momentum. In spite of the greater selectivity and minimum damage aimed at, herbicides have now been proved to act as ecological narcotics.

Initial effects of quinclorac on the survival and growth of high biomass tree species
Annals of Forest Research, 2017 Increasingly, short rotation woody crops are being planted for biofuel/biomass production on unused lands or marginal agricultural lands. Many of these plantations occur near agriculture land which is intensively managed including yearly herbicide ...

SpectroGLY: A Low-Cost IoT-Based Ecosystem for the Detection of Glyphosate Residues in Waters [PDF]
Glyphosate contamination in waters is becoming a major health problem that needs to be urgently addressed, as accidental spraying, drift or leakage of this highly water-soluble herbicide can impact aquatic ecosystems. Researchers are increasingly concerned about exposure to glyphosate and the risks its poses to human health, since it may cause ...

Precise Robotic Weed Spot-Spraying for Reduced Herbicide Usage and Improved Environmental Outcomes -- A Real-World Case Study [PDF]
arXivPrecise robotic weed control plays an essential role in precision agriculture. It can help significantly reduce the environmental impact of herbicides while reducing weed management costs for farmers. In this paper, we demonstrate that a custom-designed robotic spot spraying tool based on computer vision and deep learning can significantly reduce ...

Short and Long Range Population Dynamics of the Monarch [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 The monarch butterfly annually migrates from central Mexico to southern Canada. During recent decades, its population has been reduced due to human interaction with their habitat. We examine the effect of herbicide usage on the monarch butterfly's population by creating a system of linear and non-linear ordinary differential equations that describe the
