Soil Physical Health in Mixed Crop Rotations: Roles of Grassland Proportion, Cattle Manure and Grass‐Mixture Diversity

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrating grasslands into cropping systems has benefits for nutrient cycling and weed control. Beyond that, grasslands are also recognized for their ability to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) and structural stability (SS). This study examined how grassland proportion, fertilization and grassland mixture, both during the grassland phase and

SPIDERS (ARANEI) IN HEPRETOBIONT MESOFAUNA OF THE NORTHWEST CAUCASUS

South of Russia: ecology, development, 2014
Abstract. Aim. We discussed in previous work a herpetobiont fauna of arachnids (Arachnida) from the isolated yewboxwood wood, located in the Caucasian State Biosphere Reserve, 20 km near Sochi (Ponomarev, Chumachenko, 2007). The aim of the paper is to summarize available data about herpetobiont araneofauna of the Northwest Caucasus. Location.

Microstratigraphy and Site Formation Processes at Quebrada Jaguay 280 (Peru)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a microanalytical, geoarchaeological study of Quebrada Jaguay (QJ)‐280, a Terminal Pleistocene–Holocene coastal site in southern Peru. Combining micromorphology, µXRF and µFTIR, we develop a site formation model that also reassesses site use and forager behaviour.

Effects of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity: A Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity has become a major concern in the 21st century. The current agricultural model is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss; however, agriculture can also help maintain and even promote biodiversity. Therefore, the understanding of the consequences of agricultural practices on the different compartments of ...

Functionally diverse stands promote leaf litter decomposition irrespective of litter species' resource acquisition strategy

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 706-719, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Stand functional diversity (RaoQ) and stand functional composition in terms of the functional traits of the component species (CWM trait) are critical for ecosystem processes and functioning, such as litter decomposition and associated nutrient cycling.
