Will temperature and rainfall changes prevent yield progress in Europe?
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-01-31)
Concerns about the effects of global warming on crop yields have been raised due to stagnating yield progress in recent years. However, an understanding of the effects of changes in temperature and ...
Impact of rising temperatures on historical wheat yield, phenology, and grain size in Catalonia
(Frontiers Media, 2023-10-11)
Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture, impacting crop yields and necessitating adaptive strategies in breeding programs. This study investigates the genetic yield progress of wheat ...
Fruit abundance and trait matching determine diet type and body condition across frugivorous bird populations
(Wiley, 2021-04-12)
Research on seed‐dispersal mutualisms has been highly unbalanced towards the plants, largely overlooking the fitness effects of fruit resources on frugivorous animals. Moreover, despite morphological ...
Short Communication: Laboratory assessment of ammonia volatilization from pig slurries applied on intact soil cores from till and no-till plots
(INIA, 2020-06-17)
Aim of study: Agricultural activities are the main source of volatilized ammonia (NH3). Maximum rates are reached within a few hours after slurry application. This study aimed to evaluate the influence ...
Plant Breeding and Management Strategies to Minimize the Impact of Water Scarcity and Biotic Stress in Cereal Crops under Mediterranean Conditions
(MDPI, 2021-12-29)
Wheat and rice are two main staple food crops that may suffer from yield losses due to drought episodes that are increasingly impacted by climate change, in addition to new epidemic outbreaks. Sustainable ...
Ensemble modelling of carbon fluxes in grasslands and croplands
(Elsevier, 2020-04-25)
Croplands and grasslands are agricultural systems that contribute to land–atmosphere exchanges of carbon (C). We evaluated and compared gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (RECO), net ...
Ammonia volatilisation from pig slurry and ANS with DMPP applied to Westerwold ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., cv. Trinova) under Mediterranean conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-03-19)
Ammonia volatilisation from agriculture represents an important nitrogen (N) loss which has both environmental and economic impacts. In regions where large amounts of manures are available, there is a ...
Bottom-up effects of woodland eutrophication: Interacting limiting nutrients determine herbivory frequency in northwestern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2021-11-12)
Nutrient enrichment disrupts plant–animal interactions and ecosystem functioning globally. In woodland systems, the mechanisms of bottom-up turnover on plant–herbivore interactions remain understudied. ...
A unique race of the wheat stem rust pathogen with virulence on Sr31 identified in Spain and reaction of wheat and durum cultivars to this race
(Wiley, 2022-01-28)
Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, is a re-emerging disease, posing a threat to wheat production. In Spain, stem rust has been rarely detected since the 1970s, but infection ...
Oribatid mites in different Mediterranean crop rotations fertilized with animal droppings
(Springer, 2023-06-20)
Unsustainable soil management is one of the drivers of soil degradation, but impact assessment requires the development of indicators. Oribatids might be considered as early indicators of disturbances ...
