Impacts and Uncertainties of +2°C of Climate Change and Soil Degradation on European Crop Calorie Supply
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Earth's Future"
DOI: 10.1002/2017ef000629
Abstract: Abstract Even if global warming is kept below +2°C, European agriculture will be significantly impacted. Soil degradation may amplify these impacts substantially and thus hamper crop production further. We quantify biophysical consequences and bracket uncertainty… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/advs.202202336
Abstract: Nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global concern. Agricultural soil is becoming a primary sink for nanoplastics generated from plastic debris. The uptake and accumulation of nanoplastics by crops contaminate the food chain and pose unexpected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/agj2.20207
Abstract: In Indian semi-arid tropics (SATs), low water and crop productivity in Vertisols and associated soils are mainly due to poor land management and erratic and low rainfall occurrence. This study was conducted from 2014 to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/agj2.20311
Abstract: Diversified crop rotation, sequence of crops within a rotation, and management system may affect durum (Triticum turgidum L.) yield and quality. This study investigated the impact of stacked vs. alternate‐year rotation and conventional vs. ecological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16027
Abstract: Abstract Premise Camelina (gold‐of‐pleasure or false flax) is an ancient oilseed crop with emerging applications in the production of sustainable, low‐input biofuels. Previous domestication hypotheses suggested a European or western Asian origin, yet little genetic… read more here.

Who is the culprit: Is pest infestation responsible for crop yield losses close to semi‐natural habitats?

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8046
Abstract: Abstract Semi‐natural habitats (SNHs) are becoming increasingly scarce in modern agricultural landscapes. This may reduce natural ecosystem services such as pest control with its putatively positive effect on crop production. In agreement with other studies,… read more here.

Functional and phylogenetic diversity of an agricultural matrix avifauna: The role of habitat heterogeneity in Afrotropical farmland
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9024
Abstract: Abstract Varied strategies to alleviate the loss of farmland biodiversity have been tested, yet there is still insufficient evidence supporting their effectiveness, especially when considering phylogenetic and functional diversity alongside traditional taxonomic diversity metrics. This… read more here.
