Examining shifts in Carabidae assemblages across a forest-agriculture ecotone.
Northeastern U.S. farms are often situated adjacent to forestland due to the heterogeneous nature of the landscape. We investigated how forested areas influence Carabidae diversity within nearby crop fields by establishing transects of pitfall traps. Trapping extended across a forest-agriculture ecotone consisting of maize, an intermediate mowed grass margin, and a forest edge. Carabidae divers...
متن کاملInfluence of military land uses on soil carbon dynamics in forest ecosystems of Georgia, USA
Soil organic carbon (C) dynamics have been used to assess sustainable land managements in forest ecosystems. Impact, defined as intensive forms of land use that affect the soil function, can change C quantity and quality in soils, leading to a progressive degradation of the ecosystems. Soil CO2 effluxes were studied in five transects located at the Fort Benning military reservation in west-cent...
متن کاملInvestigation of Land Use Change on Physicochemical Characteristics and Soil Erosion in Kaftargar Basin of Behshahr
The land-use change, cutting forest trees and the grasslands conversion to agricultural lands destroyed natural ecosystems and also current or future production capacity reduce and these are harmful effects on the soil physicochemical characteristics. This study taken with aim, checking the role of forest-land change on some soil physical-chemical characteristics and then identify some effectiv...

متن کاملSoil loss and runoff generation in rangeland, rain-fed and abandoned rain-fed agriculture land-uses under simulated rainfall
Soil erosion is a global challenge, seriously threatening soil and water resources andenvironmental qualities. One of the important factors to consider in the process of runoffgeneration and soil erosion is the physical and chemical properties of soils under differentland-uses. The aim of this study is to estimate soil erosion and runoff in rangeland, rain-fedand abandoned rain-fed agriculture ...
