The Greatest Show (Birds) on Earth: Public Presentations and Their Welfare Impacts on Zoo‐Housed Birds

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Birds involved in bird shows were compared against non‐show birds regarding show paticipation, behaviour, body score condiiton, and feather condition. Additionally, comparisons between on and off show days as well as before and after the show were made to investigate differences in behaviour and condition. Show birds demonstrated a closer to ideal body

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

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 ...

Microorganisms and soil seed bank in perennial plants

The number of microorganisms in the soil depends on the type of soil, and the influence of microorganisms from the soil can have an inhibitory or stimulatory effect on seed germination. Tests were conducted at three fruit-growing and wine-growing sites.

Including Harvested Grain Biogenic CO2 to Address a Critical Flaw in Climate Accounting

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The international climate accounting system excludes both the biogenic CO2 sequestered in harvested crops and the biogenic CO2 emissions that occur when grain is digested or burned as biofuel. Despite being described in the literature as a critical flaw in climate accounting all parties within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
