Host phenology‐driven infestation patterns of the carob moth (Ectomyelois ceratoniae) in Mediterranean walnut orchards: insights from comparison with codling moth (Cydia pomonella)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6877-6889, July 2026.
In Mediterranean walnut orchards, Ectomyelois ceratoniae replaces Cydia pomonella as the primary pest. Capture peaks between packing tissue brown (PTB) stage and husk dehiscence define a critical window for monitoring and early harvest to prevent kernel infestation.

Impacts of Land Use and Flood Regime on Zooplankton Egg Banks in a Large River Floodplain

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Zooplankton egg banks are crucial in rebuilding zooplankton populations in temporary water bodies when favourable conditions return after dry periods. However, their abundance, viability, and hatching success depend on many factors, with changes in land use and flooding regimes being potentially crucial drivers.

Linking Plant and Microbial Traits to Soil Carbon for Reliable and Resilient Bioenergy Systems

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Plant–microbe–soil interactions supporting productivity and soil carbon storage in bioenergy systems. Plants supply organic inputs that sustain microbial communities driving nutrient cycling, carbon stabilization, and soil aggregation. These interactions enhance soil structure and nutrient retention, supporting both biomass productivity and broader ...

Searching for Sustainability: Industrial Agriculture of Small Farmers in China and Its Structural Strains

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, Volume 26, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The ‘sustainability turn’ in China's development paradigm is in part a response to the sustainability challenges—both ecologically and socially—that China's agrarian transition has generated. This article characterizes China's agrarian system as an ‘industrial agriculture of small farmers’ (IASF): industrial in method and social metabolism ...
