CONTEXT: During crises, adaptation or recovery measures or plans at local or national scales may not necessarily address longer-term or structural problems such as climate change mitigation. OBJECTIVE: This article describes farmers and policymakers' responses to mitigate the adverse effects of Covid-19 on the agricultural sector. We then assess th...
Nature's contributions to human well-being within social-ecological systems have been widely studied using multiple conceptual frameworks, yet there is a growing need to better articulate how both humans and nature contribute to quality of life. We present an operationalization of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service...
Combined with multivariate calibration methods, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a non-destructive, rapid, precise and inexpensive analytical method to predict chemical contents of organic products. Nevertheless, one practical limitation of this approach is that performance of the calibration model may decrease when the data are acquired with di...
Background: In the last two decades, recurrent epizootics of bluetongue virus and Schmallenberg virus have been reported in the western Palearctic region. These viruses affect domestic cattle, sheep, goats and wild ruminants and are transmitted by native hematophagous midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). Culicoides dispersal i...
To deal with the limited literature data on the vectorial capacity of blood‐feeding arthropods (BFAs) and their role in the transmission of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in Metropolitan France, a dedicated working group of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety performed an expert knowledge elicitation. In tot...
Afin de statuer sur les deux taxons du genre Perotis cités de France continentale, P. unicolor (Olivier, 1790) et P. planidorsis (Liskenne, 1994), une étude intégrative a été conduite. L'examen des habitus, des genitalia des mâles et une analyse de barcoding de séries de Perotis de France capturés près de Saint-Gilles dans le département du Gard (l...
Tetraploids are usually more tolerant to environmental stresses than diploids. Citrus plants face numerous abiotic stresses, including salinity, which negatively affect growth and yield. Double diploid citrus rootstocks have been shown to be more tolerant to abiotic stresses than their diploid relatives. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidativ...
Forest soil fertility can be defined as a combination of physical, chemical and biological factors characterising the biomass production capacity of the soil. However, numerous ecological variables affect tree growth and the aim of the present study was to investigate the specific influence of soil chemical properties on tree productivity at 49 aci...
Purpose Ongoing debates focus on the role of forest-sourced bioenergy within climate mitigation efforts, due to the long rotation lengths of forest biomass. Valuing sequestration is debated due to its reversibility; however, dynamic modelling of biogenic carbon (Cbio) flows captures both negative and positive emissions. The objective of this work i...
