Agricultural land research
Passive restoration can help former farmlands in Minnesota, USA to recover their biodiversity, but even 80 years is not enough for full recovery
The researchers found that cropland treated with organic fertiliser, and which included perennial ley (legumes and grasses for feed or fallow) in the crop rotation, had more soil-dwelling creatures...
A study on the diversity of soil eukaryotes - cell organisms containing a nucleus - shows the ecosystem type is pivotal driver of soil biodiversity. Agricultural soils are...
The European Joint Programme on the management of agricultural soils (EJP SOIL) is meeting this week for its third Annual Science Days in Riga. EJP SOIL is striving to tackle...
Tropical deforestation for land conversion to agriculture is a known problem. Through a novel method which maps changes in biodiversity in production areas, researchers have highlighted the impacts...
Highlights:
Relative to agricultural systems, high-carbon ecosystems – such as forests, peatlands, and mangroves – store large amounts of carbon per unit area.
Agricultural expansion...
Among the three Baltic countries, Estonia has the strongest marine culture. Given the geographical position, the country’s coastline is five times longer than its landline. Despite...
Recent research assessed non-pollinator invertebrates (spiders and beetles) using a focus on landscape characteristics to broaden the perspective on this debate. The researchers report that the presence of different semi-natural habitats...
New research has identified sites that may serve as climate refugia in Mediterranean Europe over the next 50 years. Most refugia are located outside...
