Response of Soil Microbial Biomass and Activity to Cover Crop Incorporation Methods

Agronomy
Cover crop management in vineyards under a semiarid Mediterranean environment needs strategies that enhance soil C and N status and microbial functioning without increasing disturbance. This study compared cover crops biomass incorporation (harrowing, HR;

‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.

Satellite Monitoring of Italian Vineyards and Spatio-Temporal Variability Assessment

AgriEngineering
Sentinel-2 (S2) is widely considered a reliable satellite constellation for monitoring several crops, such as grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). A large dataset of Italian vineyards randomly chosen was monitored with S2 from 2017 to 2022.

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Wild microbial communities shaping the spontaneous fermentation of biodynamic Malbec wine

OENO One
Prior to the industrialisation of winemaking, spontaneous fermentation was the only option available to wineries, relying exclusively on native micro-organisms from the vineyard due to the absence of commercial inoculants.

Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Groundcovers Alter Vineyard Soil Microbiomes Within and Beyond Their Rooting Zones

Phytobiomes Journal
Groundcovers are increasingly planted in perennial cropping systems to improve soil health. In vineyards, grass groundcovers can influence many edaphic properties, yet the effects of these groundcovers on bulk soil microbiomes remain unclear. We examined

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

Plastic covering and double pruning mitigate climate challenges in cv. Sauvignon blanc vineyards

OENO One
Advances in viticultural management techniques have become increasingly important for mitigating the effects of challenging climatic conditions. The double-pruning technique is already widely used in Brazilian vineyards, enabling a shift of the harvest ...
