We analysed microbial biodiversity metrics and distribution of potential functional groups along a gradient of increasing land-use perturbation, detecting over 79,000 bacterial and 25,000 fungal OTUs in 715 sites across 24 countries. We found the lowest bacterial and fungal diversity in less-disturbed environments (woodlands) compared ...

As a reflection of the diversity of ECRs within , the topics that comprise our selection stem from a vast spectrum of sub-disciplines, from machine learning through to archaeology via mechanistic interface interactions.
and the uplands at higher latitudes. There is limited evidence that CO2 efflux from grass-lands may be about 20% higher than that from comparable forest stands (Raich and Tufekcioglu 2000). Unfortunately, however, most annual esti-mates of CO2 efflux from temperate grasslands date back to the 1970s (compare reviews by Raich

1. Assessment of erosion by water at scale: necessity and usefulness. The request of developing a pan- assessment for loss by water erosion comes from policy makers who aim to have dynamic tools to monitor the impact of various policies such as the Thematic Strategy, Common Agricultural Policy, and Climate Action on Land use and to develop indicators on the ...
Background Lupin is a promising legume crop, belongs to the Fabaceae (or Leguminosae) family. Lupin production for traditional and functional foods or animal feed is limited, due to the content of toxic quinolizidine (QA)s and indole alkaloids (IA)s. These compounds may not only pose a risk to humans and animals through food consumption, but may also affect and aquatic ecosystems. Field ...
Our MSc is an interdisciplinary programme, providing you with the essential knowledge and advanced skills to make informed decisions on sustainable land practice. The programme encompasses the fundamentals of and 's role in wider environmental systems and sustainable land management.
In order to provide guidance to the development of the Roadmap for the Joint Programme a synthesis identifying knowledge about the and their biophysical and socio-economic impacts has been carried out.
This paper reviews and summarises the scientific literature and relevant official reports, with the aim to advance this knowledge by synthesizing, mapping, and identifying gaps regarding the status, causes, and consequences of degradation processes in the Mediterranean region. This is needed as scientific underpinning of efforts ...
moisture data were retrieved from the Space Agency’s ERA5-Land dataset, which presents monthly averaged volumetric (m 3 m-3) water content at 0–7 cm, 7–28 cm, 28–100 cm and 100–289 cm intervals, using a 0.1° × 0.1° grid (Sabater, 2019).
The methodology included the biogeographic stratification of carbon measurements throughout using climatic zones derived from the Regions Map of . The presented stock estimates range from 1.3 to 70.8 t C/ha for the O-layer, and from 11.3 to 126.3 t C/ha for the mineral 0–20 cm (Germany: 0–30 cm) (5 and 95 ...
To increase the visibility of the profession in the general scientific arena, a procedure has been proposed to link the seven functions (SFs) (Table 2) proposed by the Commission (EC), 2006, Commission (EC), 2012 directly to well known general Ecosystem Services (ESs) (e.g. De Groot et al., 2002, Dominati et ...

organisms often increase production of antibiotic-like compounds during times of stress (Swiecilo & Zych-Wezyk, 2013) and perhaps because of the increased stresses on worldwide new antibiotics are being discovered, although at a slower rate than the emergence of antibiotic resistance in the same stressed (Martinez, 2008). Many of ...
