Abstract:
... Sex pheromones are known for only a few major click beetle (Coleoptera: Elateridae) pests in North America. These pheromones could be used to monitor, as well as control, adult beetles. Our objective was to identify the sex pheromone of female Selatosomus aeripennis destructor (Brown), a predominant elaterid pest species in farmland in the Canadian Prairie provinces. Headspace volatiles from a gro ...

Abstract:
... The environment is changing quickly and it is ever more burdened in connection with the greater needs of human society. This fact has increased efforts to improve the management of land and natural resources and the necessity to evaluate them. Land valuations become more important as the land consumption increases. Soil needs to be evaluated in the whole context of how its quality is affected and ...

... Soil bacterial communities are important soil regulators in agroecosystems. However, few studies have investigated the influences of integrated agricultural management practices on farmland soil bacterial community diversity and assembly processes. In this study, we assessed the impact of crop species (maize and soybean), tillage practice (chisel plow tillage, CPT; zero tillage, ZT; plow tillage, ...

Abstract:
... Global climate change and human interference gradually increase the salt-affected land; hence the availability of agricultural land is decreasing day by day. Higher salinity severely affects the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil. Various studies investigated the effects of growing crop plants on soil quality but such investigations on halophytic plants in their natural ...

Abstract:
... Land-use/land-cover (LULC) change could have huge impacts on a wide range of ecosystem services, such as the quality, types, processes, temporal, and spatial patterns of ecosystem, leading to dramatic changes in different types of ecosystem services. China has implemented Grain-for-Green Programme (GFGP) to alleviate soil erosion, restore and improve ecosystem services. We selected Jinghe River ba ...

Abstract:
... Slope runoff acts as a driving force for soil erosion on the Loess Plateau but is also an important water source for alleviating water shortages and maintaining vegetation growth. Identifying how to regulate runoff can help solve the problems of water shortages and soil erosion. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of conservation measures on controlling slope runoff and soil loss in a ...

Abstract:
... Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are one of the major natural hazards in certain populated mountainous areas, e.g., the Himalayan region, which may lead to catastrophic consequences including substantial loss of lives. Evaluating the potential socio-economic impact of GLOFs is essential for risk mitigation and enhancing community resilience. Yet in most of the cases, this is confronted with th ...

In this study, we investigated the properties (including physical, chemical, and microbiological indicators) of soil at three different distances from a shale gas development site (<30 m, 30–50 m, and 50–100 m) in a karst area in 2017 and 2020. Our results showed that the soil water content ...

... Currently, the contradiction between the limited resources of China's cultivated ecosystems and population growth is becoming increasingly evident, and the negative impacts on the environment and human activities need to be curbed. Therefore, it is crucial to quantify the sustainability of cultivated ecosystems and determine these driving factors that affect their development. This study used the ...
