Community attributes reflecting the zooplankton secondary production: using field and experimental approaches

Dias, Juliana Deo; Simões, Nadson Ressye; Miracle, María Rosa; Melo, Thais Xavier De; Bonecker, Claudia Costa; Abstract Aim We investigated the relationship between ecological attributes of the zooplankton community and its secondary production. Methods Samples were taken from lakes in the floodplain of the Upper Paraná River (Brazil), in low and high-water periods, and in […]

A tool for integrating agrometeorological observation data for digital agriculture: A Minnesota case study

Abstract Agrometeorological data are essential for understanding production using digital agriculture techniques. However, integrating agrometerological observations from multiple sources remains a challenge. Often, digital agriculture scientists download and clean the same datasets many times. We present a prototype system that simplifies the process of collecting, cleaning, integrating, and aggregating data from meteorological data sources by

Including non‐growing season emissions of N2O in US maize could raise net CO2e emissions by 31% annually

Abstract Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a significant greenhouse gas and the most important currently emitted ozone depleting substance, primarily via agricultural fertilization. Current N2O emission estimation methods at the national scale are predominantly via emission factors. Models estimating national-scale emissions are focused on growing season emissions. However, a substantial fraction of N2O can be emitted

The influence of climate on varietal similarities across countries

Countries with more similar climates have more similar mixes of winegrape varieties and are becoming even more similar in their varietal mixes. This does not necessarily mean they are planting the varieties that are better suited to their climates. Abstract In recent decades, vignerons have focused more on the world’s mainstream varieties than on differentiating

When are you measuring soil β‐glucosidase activities in cropping systems?

Abstract In situ soil respiration is driven by annual patterns of temperature and soil moisture, but what about extracellular enzyme activities responsible for depolymerizing soil organic matter? We conducted biweekly measurements of potential soil β-glucosidase activities during a 4-month period from March soil thawing through July in annually cropped field plots in eastern South Dakota.

Soil organic matter characteristics of four soil types under different conservation strategies across Hubei Province

Abstract Soil organic matter (SOM) plays key roles in sloping land erosion control. This study explores SOM content across Hubei Province, China, focusing on four soil types under various conservation strategies. Field samples (n = 243) were collected under 27 monitoring sites employing diverse conservation strategies in runoff plots. Results indicated substantial variability in SOM content among
