Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

The use of edible insects in human food

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,

Enhancing Soil Aggregation and Water Retention by Applying Kaolinite Clay to Post‐Tin‐Mined Land on Belitung Island, Indonesia

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐mining sandy soils have low water retention, which causes soil particle separation and persistent soil erosion. Although organic matter is commonly used for soil restoration, it is lightweight, washes away during heavy rain, and decomposes under strong sunlight.

CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...

Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...
