The dataset of free-living soil nematodes from Colección Helmintológica of Museo de La Plata is presented. There is a large knowledge gap regarding soil nematodes especially in Argentina but also in the Neotropical reg...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a key soil functional group, with an important potential to increase crop productivity and sustainable agriculture including food security. However, there is clear evidence that lan...

Moxidectin (MOX) belongs to the macrocyclic lactones, a class of anthelmintic drugs widely used in livestock that can enter the soil environment and persist by binding to soil organic matter. While MOX is effective again...

The lack of implementation of well-designed public policies aimed at the conservation of natural ecosystems has resulted, at a global level, in the decline of ecosystem functioning and, consequently, of the contributions...

Protecting soils from degradation is a significant area of research in international environmental law. Almost all states face soil degradation problems and are striving to solve them at a national level. The quality of ...

Laterite soil is essential in the construction industry, especially in road and building construction. The practice of abandoning borrow pits after mining laterite soil in the Northern Region of Ghana has resulted in lan...

Two perennial goldenrods, Solidago canadensis and S. gigantea (Asteraceae), are considered successful plant invaders with an exceptional ability to affect the biodiversity and environment of native ecosystems in Europe. ...

The constant use of sodium N-methyldithiocarbamate (metam sodium: MS) in protected agriculture in México has attracted the attention of researchers and producers on their effects on the environment. The objective of thi...

Niche dimensionality provides a general theoretical explanation for biodiversity-more niches, defined by more limiting factors, allow for more ways that species can coexist. Because plant species compete for the same set...

Open-pit coal mine rehabilitation is essential to mitigate ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. Given that ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are excellent bioindicators, we evaluated the response of their communitie...

O desmatamento na Amazônia procede a um alto ritmo por várias razões, muitas das quais dependem de decisões do governo. O desmatamento leva à perda de serviços ambientais, que têm um valor maior que os usos pouco ...

Ecology and sustainability are increasingly approached as a coupled socio-ecological agenda for balancing human needs, ecosystem integrity, and long-term resilience within ecological limits Rapid climate risks, accelerat...

Plant communities fragmented by agricultural activities were analyzed in a 250-ha area in eastern plains of Montecaseros, Gral. San Martín Department, Mendoza, Argentina. A phytosociological method assessed different si...

The Salado River Basin region is the most important livestock breeding area in Argentina, wherethe Lotus species has been traditionally cultivated as forages. Nearly 60% of their land surface is dominated by salt-affecte...

Industrial and agricultural activities as well as the combustion of fossil fuels lead to increased levels of sulphur (S) deposition in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, affecting soil acidity and plant communities. Loc...

Abstract Climate change threatens species and crops. Understanding its impact along a range of climates is essential for developing effective conservation strategies and strengthening ecological resilience. This study ex...

The ecological and evolutionary processes shaping community structure and functions of microbial symbionts are known to be scale-dependent. Nonetheless, understanding how the relative importance of these processes change...

Societal and political voices call for stronger environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and reduced pesticide use. Integrating digital farming technologies into farming systems like strip intercropping offer...

Hydrocarbon pollution from oil spills, traffic emissions, and industrial processes continues to be a significant global threat to biodiversity, soil quality, water quality, and human health. Lichens, mutualistic life for...

The limited availability of herbicides for weed management, coupled with the rapid expansion of herbicide-resistant weed populations, has intensified the need to explore alternative weed management strategies, particular...

It is estimated that there are between 2.2 and 3.8 million species of fungi, but only 3 to 8% are known. The order Agaricales in Argentina is not well known in certain areas and plant communities, as the Reserva Ecológi...

Abstract Amaranthus spinosus L. is a member of the Amaranthaceae family, commonly known as the spiny amaranth, or spiny pigweed. It is native to the tropical Americas, but is present on most continents as an introduced s...

Ants are essential components of ecosystems, playing critical roles in nutrient cycling, pest control, and soil health. Agricultural practices significantly influence ant biodiversity, yet studies on this subject remain ...

ABSTRACT The discovery of novel bioactive compounds has significant implications for diverse biotechnological applications. However, microbial genomes remain largely underexplored regarding their potential to produce sec...
