Soil salinization and sodification, caused by inadequate land management, is one of the main threats to semiarid agroecosystems. It essential investigate saline levels under different land-use conditions maintain sustainability agricultural production. The objective this study was diagnose salinity status soil in region Northeast Brazil. samples were collected surface layer (0–5 cm) three condi...

Uncultivated field margins are important refugia for pollinating insects in agricultural landscapes. However, the spill-over of pollination services from to adjacent crops is poorly understood. This study (i) examined effects landscape heterogeneity on pollinator occurrence permanent and visitation mass-flowering turnip rape (Brassica rapa ssp. oleifera) boreal landscapes, (ii) tested whether a...

Abstract Purpose Soil loss is considered one of the most important consequences land degradation as it affects production agricultural and forested areas, natural equilibrium aquatic ecosystems downstream. For these reasons, availability tools techniques able to identify areas at risk essential. Over last 3–4 decades, theoretical models, based on use 137 Cs, an anthropogenic radiotracer, proved...
