Abstract:
... The Modern period in Europe is marked by the introduction of deep agricultural changes. In the Basque Country (northern Spain), the implantation of an intensive crop rotation was made possible by the expansion of agricultural liming, although the extent and implications of this practice have not been previously explored in depth. The present paper proposes a multidisciplinary approach to this ques ...

Abstract:
... Over the last decades, land management options have been investigated that aim at enhancing services to agriculture delivered by biodiversity and its associated biotic interactions. Such services can be promoted through land management strategies ranging from in-field single agricultural practices, long-term strategies compiling these agricultural practices at the crop rotation scale, to managemen ...

Abstract:
... Recently, Science journal published a letter entitled “Support Austria’s glyphosate ban” (Peng et al. 2020) where the authors argue that the usage of glyphosate should cease. They propose that other weed-killing alternatives such as root exudates, crop rotation or mulch be used instead. We agree that risks associated with using this herbicide on a large scale exist, but on a small scale, such as i ...
