A global assessment of animal community responses to agricultural management

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Transitions in agricultural management through crop and noncrop diversification on intensively managed croplands or pastures have benefited biodiversity. However, the extent to which agricultural management benefits species communities present in undisturbed ecosystems remains largely unclear.

Risks of concealing environmental degradation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

La “science des engrais” et le monde agricole en France au dix-neuvième siècle

Journal for the History of Environment and Society, 2017
This article examines the implementation and the spreading of a quality regulation system on fertilizers - in particular those stemming from recycling - in nineteenth-century France, in connexion with the question of their impact on the environment. In a first part I discuss the crucial role of chemists-agronomists in the establishment of a “science of

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

Introduced dung beetles suppress methane emissions from cattle dung and alter the temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas flux Los escarabajos peloteros introducidos suprimen las emisiones de metano del estiércol de ganado y alteran la dinámica temporal del flujo de gases de efecto invernadero Besouros coprófagos introduzidos suprimem as emissões de metano do esterco bovino e alteram a dinâmica temporal do fluxo de gases de efeito estufa

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles suppressed cumulative methane flux from cattle dung by 85% and reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 18%. Beetle activity accelerated initial CO2 release but did not alter total cumulative flux. N2O and NH3 fluxes were transient and not consistently driven by beetle presence.

Explaining Differentiated Policy Implementation of EU Animal Welfare Regulations

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Farm animal welfare has emerged as a growing policy subsystem within the European Union's (EU) Common Agricultural Policy. However, despite a harmonized EU framework, member states differ substantially in how they implement EU directives on farm animal welfare.

Agriculture, science et environnement : retours sur la modernisation agricole

Calenda, 2007
Nous assistons depuis une vingtaine d’années, au niveau national et surtout international, à un profond renouvellement des travaux historiques et sociologiques sur la « modernisation » de l’agriculture. Placé à la croisée de l’histoire et la sociologie rurale, de l’histoire environnementale et de l’histoire et la sociologie des sciences et de l ...

La méthanisation agricole saisie par les sciences humaines et sociales : transition énergétique versus transition écologique ?

Natures Sciences Sociétés
Cet article éclaire le champ de recherche de la méthanisation agricole en interrogeant la tension qui ressort entre le répertoire de la transition énergétique et celui de la transition écologique lorsqu’on examine la territorialisation des acteurs et des processus, et non simplement la production d’énergie renouvelable.
