Soils and crops in orchard agrosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change and
environmental stresses. In many orchard soils, soil biodiversity and the ecosystem services it …

Agriculture is not only appointed to produce food but has the potential to provide a range of
ecosystem services (ES) depending on the management options adopted at field scale …

Organic fertilization has been proposed as an alternative approach to supply nutrients for
crops, in the frame of organic and sustainable agriculture, with the aim to decrease high …

There is an increasing body of studies that show that land use intensification and
homogenisation in agriculture landscapes, aimed at increasing food provisioning, decline …

Perennial fruits crops by the virtue of their nutritional qualities have already emerged as a
major alternative, cutting short the menacing load on the consumption of traditional …

Drying-rewetting cycles are ubiquitous across natural and managed ecosystems. These
cycles are known to mobilize carbon (C) in soils producing dramatic pulses in microbial …

Agroecological practices have been shown to control erosion, increase soil fertility, carbon
stocks, pollination and biodiversity. As a consequence, these ecosystem services can …

Agricultural residues are generated during the production and processing of agricultural
crops. Under modern date palm plantation practices, field operations generate huge …
