Beneficial effect of Bacillus sp. P12 on soil biological activities and pathogen control in common bean
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-02)
Soil is the foundation for agriculture and the medium where almost all food-producing plants are grown. Extensive use of fertilizers and pesticides has affected soil quality, with dangerous ecological effects; therefore, ...
Construction of a combined soil quality indicator to assess the effect of glyphosate application
(Elsevier, 2019-09)
Although the use of agrochemicals allowed increasing the crops productivity, in many cases led to soil deterioration. In this study, eight composite samples from different soils of two locations (San Martín and Anta) in ...
Are all edges equal? Microclimatic conditions, geographical orientation and biological implications in a fragmented forest
(Elsevier Science, 2019-04)
In fragmented forests the edges experience changes in microclimatic conditions, which are referred to as “abiotic edge effect”, and differ according to geographical orientation and season. These microclimatic changes could ...
Fading opportunities for mitigating agriculture-environment trade-offs in a south American deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Strong trade-offs between agriculture and the environment occur in deforestation frontiers, particularly in the world's rapidly disappearing tropical and subtropical dry forests. Pathways to mitigate these trade-offs are ...
Pore morphology reveals interaction of biological and physical processes for structure formation in soils of the semiarid Argentinean Pampa
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)
In order to obtain baseline values for the evaluation of soil degradation, the biological and physical quality of petrocalcic Paleustolls, of the calcrete plains of the Semiarid Region Pampa of Argentina, soils under ...
Spatial patterns of mammal occurrence in forest strips surrounded by agricultural crops of the Chaco region, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
Deforestation is a major cause of biodiversity loss, and the predominant factor driving deforestation is expansion of agriculture. A key step toward successful conservation in agricultural areas is maximizing biodiversity ...
The granulate cutworm (lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Biological parameters under controlled conditions, host plants, and distribution in the Americas
(University of Arizona, 2020-11)
Feltia subterranea (Fabricius), commonly known as the granulate cutworm, is a common species of owlet moths (Noctuidae) of major agricultural importance, widely distributed in Nearctic and Neotropical regions. This study ...

A biological and nitrate isotopic assessment framework to understand eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems
(Elsevier, 2020-05)
Eutrophication is a globally significant challenge facing aquatic ecosystems, mostly associated with human induced enrichment of these ecosystems with nitrogen and phosphorus. Given the complexity of assigning eutrophication ...
