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 ...
Genetic Diversity and Association Mapping for Agromorphological and Grain Quality Traits of a Structured Collection of Durum Wheat Landraces Including subsp. durum, turgidum and diccocon
(Public Library of Science, 2016-11-15)
Association mapping was performed for 18 agromorphological and grain quality traits in a set of 183 Spanish landraces, including subspecies durum, turgidum and dicoccon, genotyped with 749 DArT (Diversity ...
How Modelers Model: the Overlooked Social and Human Dimensions in Model Intercomparison Studies
(American Chemical Society, 2022-09-02)
There is a growing realization that the complexity of model ensemble studies depends not only on the models used but also on the experience and approach used by modelers to calibrate and validate results, ...
Neglecting the fallow season can significantly underestimate annual methane emissions in Mediterranean rice fields
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-31)
Paddy rice fields are one of the most important sources of anthropogenic methane. Improving the accuracy in the CH4 budget is fundamental to identify strategies to mitigate climate change. Such improvement ...
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 ...
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 ...
Márgenes verdes como estrategia para favorecer la diversidad de enemigos naturales de plagas en el cultivo del arroz
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2020-10-27)
La sociedad demanda cada vez más alimentos producidos de forma sostenible, lo cual motiva un cambio de paradigma hacia una producción agrícola más respetuosa con el ambiente y la biodiversidad. Aunque ...
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 ...
The economic cost of losing native pollinator species for orchard prodution
(Wiley, 2020-01-19)
The alarming loss of pollinator diversity world‐wide can reduce the productivity of pollinator‐dependent crops, which could have economic impacts. However, it is unclear to what extent the loss of a key ...
Effectiveness landscape of crop pollinator assemblages: Implications to pollination service management
(Elsevier, 2023-02-22)
There is a growing consensus that the world is facing a pollination crisis. To mitigate crop pollination deficits, some management strategies include the massive introduction of managed bee species, yet ...
