Finding agriculture among biodiversity

چکیده
The breadth of biodiversity literature available through the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is potentially of great use to agricultural research. It provides access to literature drawn from across the world, and its archives document the Earth as it was one hundred years ago and more. However, this strength of BHL is also its weakness: the breadth of coverage of BHL can complicate finding relevant literature. In this short paper, we will explore the practical issues arising from attempting to filter out relevant legacy literature to support agricultural research.

متن کاملBiodiversity, Biotechnology and the Environment
The widespread use of genetically modified crops has precipitated acrimonious debate on the health effects, environmental safety, and ethics of genetically modified agricultural species. The debate is contentious, often with unsubstantiated claims of both potentially harmful and beneficial effects. Here we examine the possible effects of GM agriculture on issues of the environment and biodivers...
