Riparian corridors in Mediterranean-climate regions (med-regions) are resource-rich
habitats within water-limited, larger landscapes. However, little is known about how their …

Diffuse pollution remains a major threat to surface waters due to eutrophication caused by
phosphorus (P) transfer from agricultural land. Vegetated buffer strips (VBSs) are …

Variability in the activity and composition of soil microbial communities may have important
implications for the suite of microbially-derived ecosystem functions upon which agricultural …

Soil microbes and their functions play important roles in the sustainable development of
agricultural ecosystems but are vulnerable to climate change and human activity. We …

Barn owls (Tyto alba) are the most widespread raptor species on Earth, and because they
are thought to provide natural vertebrate pest control services, farmers in some agricultural …

To increase ecosystem services provided by their lands, farmers in the United States are
managing non-production areas to create a more biodiverse set of habitats and greater …

To examine management options for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, eight research
regions were classified into social-ecological domains, using a dataset of indicators of …

Bioenergy buffers are linear landscape elements cultivated with perennial herbaceous or
woody biomass crops placed along arable field margins and watercourses. This systematic …

Agricultural intensification has led to dramatic losses in biodiversity over the past several
decades. Many studies have shown the effects of intensification on vegetation or soil …

The objective of this work was to assess the environmental performances of advanced
