Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

Changes in Microbial Community and Activity of Chernozem Soil under Different Management Systems in a Long-Term Field Experiment in Hungary

open access: yesAgronomy
The effects of intensive and reduced tillage, fertilization, and irrigation on soil chemical and microbiological parameters were studied in a long-term field experiment in Hungary.

Mulching and soil tillage influence on the thermal behaviour of a Luvisol surfacel layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Important energy exchanges at soil surface regulate the thermal environment within top soil layer and the boundary layer above it. By this reason, the application of mulches or the modelling of micro relief by soil tillage are common practises to modify ...

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

When Policy Is the Hazard: Institutional Legitimacy and Climate Risk Attribution Among Farmers in Water Stressed California

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how farmers perceive and respond to climate policy risk in the context of drought and argues that understanding such responses is as important as understanding farmer reactions to the biophysical impacts of climate change.

EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SOIL TILLAGE SYSTEMS ON NODULATION AND YIELD OF SOYBEAN [PDF]

open access: yesPoljoprivreda, 2005
The primary soil tillage for different crops in Croatia is generally based on mouldboard ploughing which is the most expensive for crops production. Negative effects due to frequent passes by equipment and machines (deterioration of soil structure, soil ...

Comparison of two soil tillage treatments for winter barley-soybean growing based only on residual nitrogen after soybean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The winter barley crop growing has not been adequately researched regarding soil tillage systems, especially in crop rotation with the soybean, both crops gaining importance as food or fodder.

By‐product of heparin extraction as a sustainable alternative to enhance the use of nitrogen in agriculture

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the potential of a new organic fertilizer derived from porcine intestinal mucosa (designated BHE), a by‐product of the heparin extraction process, as a sustainable nitrogen (N) source for agriculture. The work was conducted in two stages: (i) chemical and spectroscopic characterization of BHE compared with poultry litter ...

Non-inverting Tillage: Early-Stage Effects on Soil Mechanical Behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Organic farmers often claim positive effects of non-inverting and reduced tillage systems. There is a need of quantifying tilth characteristics in the former plough layer of soil converted to such tillage systems.
