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

Ecography, 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.

Tillage-induced soil nitrous oxide fluxes from tow soils in the Manawatu : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Agricultural Engineering, Institute of Technology and Engineering, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2000
Enhanced greenhouse gas emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O) induced by agricultural practices is believed to be the major anthropogenic source. Studies conducted in New Zealand generally from pasture suggest low N₂O emission, however, there is little ...

Productivity of short-rotation crops depending on soil tillage methods

Agrarian Scientific Journal
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of soil cultivation methods on its agrophysical indicators and the productivity of crop rotation during organic cultivation of field crops. The experimental design included a five course grain-fallow-row crop rotation: autumn fallow – winter wheat – sunflower – spring barley – grain corn. In crop

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

Ecography, 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

Environmental 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.

Conservation Tillage Mitigates Soil Organic Carbon Losses While Maintaining Maize Yield Stability Under Future Climate Change Scenarios in Northeast China: A Simulation of the Agricultural Production Systems Simulator Model

Agronomy
Global warming may reduce maize yields and soil organic carbon (SOC), potentially threatening global food security and soil health. To address this concern in Northeast China, one of the world’s major maize production areas, the maize Agricultural ...
