Management & sustainability of stockless organic arable and horticultural systems [PDF]
The essential difference between stockless and stocked systems is that the fertility building clover ley and other “forage crops” are not processed through an animal but instead are grown as green manures which are returned directly to the soil by ...

ABSTRACT As the Internet of Things (IoT) surges forward, intersecting with an urgent demand for environmental sustainability (ES), digital technologies emerge as potent orchestrators of systemic transformation. Employing a subtle blend of bibliometric‐systematic literature review (B‐SLR) and qualitative insights, this research investigates IoT's ...

Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Performance of Cerrado lizards: a test of the center–periphery hypothesis
The center–periphery hypothesis (CPH) states that species' demographic performance declines from the center towards the periphery of their geographic range due to increasingly suboptimal environmental conditions. We tested the predictions under the CPH using two lizard lineages with different activity patterns and distributions, taking lizard body ...

SOIL FERTILITY MANAGEMENT AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY IN MALAWI [PDF]
In this paper we analyze the factors that influence the productivity of maize among smallholder farmers. We use farm-household survey data in order to compare the productivity of smallholder maize production under integrated (ISFM) and chemical-based ...

Extinct Pleistocene carnivores were diurnal and highly active
There is much contention over the causes and correlates of megafaunal extinctions at the end of the Pleistocene. A major role for human impact such as hunting has been discussed widely. If correct, the overkill hypothesis explains not only why large mammals in general were highly prone to extinction but suggests that extinction may have been selective ...
