Priming the Decomposition of Cover Crop Residues in No-Till Annual Cropping Systems
Effective cover crop termination by roller crimping remains a challenge in organic no-till vegetable systems. In addition, slow decomposition of surface residues can delay planting and lead to competition for soil resources. Application of microbial inoculants to promote residue decomposition could potentially address these constraints. Two field s...
Integrating Cover Crops and Almond Hulls and Shells as Organic Matter Amendments for Whole Orchard Regenerative Manageme...
Regenerative agricultural practices strive to produce food that have lower economic, environmental, and social impacts defined by the processes used (i.e. using cover crops, reducing tillage) or by proposed outcomes (i.e. improving soil health, improving biodiversity). In almond orchards the regeneration of ecosystem health and productivity can be ...
Sustainability Implications of Crop Rotations in California Rice Systems: Evaluating Agronomic, Economic, and Environmen...
Rice lands are important agroecosystems for providing food for over half the world's population while also mimicking wetland environments which support wildlife habitat and are known for carbon sequestration. At the same time, rice lands are facing a number of challenges related to climate change, increased herbicide resistance, labor shortages, an...
Georeferenced dataset of abandoned citrus crops (Comunitat Valenciana, Spain)
This dataset contains georeferenced agricultural citrus parcels with information on crop status (non-productive, productive or abandoned) for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 in GeoJSON format. The dataset is divided into 7 subsets (OLV_19, LSF_20, LSF_21, PV_21, TV_21, BP_21, and NL_21) in different locations of the Comunitat Valenciana (Spain). Howe...

The potential to produce safe textiles in a phytoattenuation strategy: The fate of Cd and Pb during industrial treatment...
Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is getting increased attention as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers and cotton in the textile industry, as well as a candidate for phytoremediation, as it has been shown to tolerate stress from heavy metal-contaminated soil and experiences no or only little decrease in yields. With the EU Soil Strate...
Meconium concentrations of pesticides and risk of hypospadias: a case-control study in Brittany, France.
...Published in Epidemiology (Cambridge, Mass.)
Hypospadias is a male genital tract defect for which an increase in prevalence has been documented over the last few decades. A role for environmental risk factors is suspected, including prenatal exposure to pesticides. To study risk of hypospadias in association with multiple pesticide measurements in meconium samples. The Brittany Registry of Co...
