Abstract:
... Agricultural activities often emit excessive nitrogen concentrations to nearby habitats, impacting ecosystems structure and functioning. To protect them, critical levels where established as the concentration above which direct adverse effects on ecosystems may arise. However, due to lack of tools, critical levels are seldom applied in management strategies for conservation. Our objective was to p ...

Abstract:
... Vegetated buffer strips (VBS) between agricultural areas and surface waters are important retention areas for eroded particulate P through which they may obtain critically high degrees of P saturation imposing high risk of soluble P leaching. We tested topsoil removal and three harvesting frequencies (once, twice, or four times per year) of natural buffer vegetation to reduce P leaching with the a ...

Abstract:
... Ground dwelling arthropods present in agricultural systems regulate multiple ecosystem services (ES), such as nutrient and carbon cycling and biological pest control. The presence of semi-natural landscape features, such as the tree component of agroforestry systems (AFS), can contribute to functional agrobiodiversity and optimize the delivery of such ES in agricultural landscapes. In temperate AF ...

Abstract:
... Soil erosion leads to land degradation and translocation of soil particles together with associated particulate organic carbon (POC) and nutrients, thereby influencing the global carbon cycle. In the present study, we estimated the contribution of POC delivered to a first-order stream from upslope sugarcane fields and a riparian forest in southeast Brazil. The results show that the amount of surfa ...

Abstract:
... Biodiversity and associated ecosystem services have declined globally with agricultural intensification identified as a major driver of this loss. The most recent reform of the Common Agricultural Policy resulted in the introduction of three mandatory ‘Greening’ measures aimed at improving the environmental performance of EU agricultural legislation. The Ecological Focus Area (EFA) measure within ...

Abstract:
... Threats to wetland water quality and aquatic insect secondary production in agricultural landscapes are multifaceted and are known to vary spatially and temporally. We designed this study with the aim to disentangle the effects of multiple stressors on emerging aquatic insects from wetlands impacted by intensive agricultural practices and receiving runoff from neonicotinoid-treated canola. A total ...

Abstract:
... Vegetated buffer strips (VBS) are a common best management practice used in agricultural landscapes because of their possible effectiveness to reduce loadings of sediments and nutrients, including phosphorus (P), to adjacent surface waters. In cold climates, buffer vegetation is prone to numerous freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs). The freezing may cause plant cells to lyse and release P, which would reduc ...

Abstract:
... The paper focuses on the generation of floods as a principal soil threat and on soil erosion as an additional soil threat on arable lands of hillslope areas. As the most important component of floods causing the degradation of soils on arable lands, surface runoff is analysed in this study. The protective effect of crop management on the generation of surface runoff and sediment transport on arabl ...
