Monoculture croplands are a major source of global anthropogenic emissions nitrous oxide (N2O), potent greenhouse gas that contributes to ozone depletion. Agroforestry has the potential reduce N2O emissions. Presently, there is no systematic comparison soil between cropland agroforestry and monoculture systems in Central Europe. We investigated effects converting system into alley cropping on f...

Generating electricity from biomass generates airborne pollution from the thermal conversion facility, but also from the upstream activities required to produce, process and provide the biomass. It is important that this is recognized in environmental evaluations of biomass power plants. Previous work had shown that off-site emissions could be significant for at least two particular bioenergy p...

• Roe deer browsing impact was investigated in temperate hardwood coppice forests. Browsing effects were monitored for 11 years an exclusion experiment. High the early after coppicing on more palatable species. Coppice forests showed significant post-browsing recovery medium term. Long-term monitoring is key to assess and management implications. In southern European forests, a traditional form...
