Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

THE URBAN METABOLISM OF FLOOD PROTECTION INFRASTRUCTURE IN JAKARTA, INDONESIA

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Investments in large‐scale climate infrastructures are central to emerging forms of climate urbanism. In Jakarta, flood protection infrastructures seek to protect the city from devastating flood events in anticipation of future catastrophes.

Sugarcane nutrition under organomineral fertilizer, phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria, and reduced phosphate doses

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Sugarcane phosphorus (P) availability is limited in tropical soils, requiring strategies to improve fertilizer efficiency. This study evaluated Bacillus velezensis UFV 3918 (Bv) in combination with an organomineral fertilizer (OF) at reduced monoammonium phosphate (MAP) doses. It showed that Bv + OF + 1/3 MAP achieved soil and plant P levels comparable

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Validation of the prognosis model SIMAGRIO‐W to predict larval activity in top soil layers for Agriotes larvae in eastern Austria Validierung des Prognosemodells SIMAGRIO‐W zur Vorhersage der Aktivität von Agriotes‐Larven in den obersten Bodenschichten in Ostösterreich

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Wireworms migrate within the soil column depending on the temperature and moisture content of the soil. SIMAGRIO‐W model accuracy comparison between Germany and Austria. Different temperature preferences highlight the need for species‐specific modelling.

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire
