Distribution of Vegetation and Soil Seed Banks Across Habitat Types in Paddy Fields Under Different Farming Practices

Plants, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(2), P. 177 - 177

Paddy field ecosystems are crucial for crop production, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem services. Although previous studies have examined paddy biodiversity, few addressed how the distribution species richness of vegetation soil seed banks regulated. This study investigated wetland plants in fields across diverse habitat types identified factors influencing their patterns. Surveys revealed that conventional habitats contained only a herbicide-tolerant (e.g., Portulaca oleracea L., Cardamine flexuosa With., Rorippa palustris (L.) Besser). In contrast, organic exhibited higher abundance. Cluster analysis nonmetric multidimensional scaling demonstrated bank differed markedly with different farming practices was influenced by distinct factors. These findings highlight importance understanding dynamics to support conservation sustainable agriculture.

Functional responses in habitat selection as a management tool to evaluate agri-environment schemes for farmland birds

Ecological Modelling, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 494, P. 110778 - 110778

Agri-environment schemes (AES), as part of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy, are intended to help prevent decline farmland biodiversity. Nevertheless, ecological effectiveness AES in supporting bird populations remains inconclusive across studies. This inconsistency highlights a research gap: What behavioral mechanisms contribute variation populations? variability may arise because birds alter their habitat selection response available habitat—a phenomenon known functional responses selection. Here, we examined effects and non-AES land-use variables on birds, taking into account species-specific availability. We built two types hierarchical distance sampling models analyze observational data four species from line-transect surveys during breeding season Saxony, Germany. First, mixed-effects estimate marginal occurrence birds. Second, integrated linear model relate estimates Results first showed positive negative In second model, observed inverse relationships between availability for both variables. These results support hypothesis responses, found decrease tendency select land uses increased. Our findings suggest that varying occurrences reported literature depend cross-study differences propose should be considered future research. study also importance optimal provision spatial allocation agricultural landscape.

Avifauna, agroecosistemas cafeteros y servicios ecosistémicos desde la percepción de los productores

En el Distrito Regional de Manejo Integrado Cuchilla del San Juan, localizado en municipio Belén Umbría, departamento Risaralda, se documentó conocimiento los productores café sobre las aves presentes su territorio; para este propósito desarrolló un taller con 12 caficultores fin analizar reconocimiento local diferentes especies aves, presencia últimos años, beneficios y valor cultural biológico servicios ecosistémicos asociados. Los reconocieron 72 diurnas nocturnas, pertenecientes a 15 órdenes distribuidas 14 familias cuales clasificaron 8 grupos funcionales, dentro resalta grupo (IF) insectívoras/frugívoras como más numeroso 25 especies, seguido (I) insectívoras que cuenta 20 posteriormente definieron funcionales (F) frugívoras (G) granívoras, cada uno 7 allí le siguieron (NI) nectarívoras/insectívoras 6 (C) carnívoras 5 por último encuentran (NE) necrófagas (P) piscívoras, una especie. Adicionalmente identificaron priorizaron algunas causas han afectado través tiempo. valorados son regulación, siendo control insectos plaga percibido mayor importancia. De otro lado, encontró incremento uso agroquímicos ha sido factor determinante la afectación zona, especialmente período 2000 2010. Estos resultados permiten establecer avifauna provee información calidad agroecosistemas evaluados e incluso aquellos naturaleza consideran prioritarios.
