The Effects of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity
The wide range of plant and animal species that live on the planet – referred to as biodiversity – is now being threatened by intensive agriculture. A growing human population, however, also entails growing needs, which, in turn, requires current agricultural practices to maximize the use of available land while minimizing damage to the environment and biodiversity. Genetically modified (GM) cr...

متن کاملAgricultural soils, pesticides and microbial diversity.
Pesticide effects on microbial community structure and activity in soil are reviewed, showing that methodological developments within the past few years have generated new possibilities for assessing pesticide effects. The first example is the use of mRNA quantification showing that nitrification processes are indeed very susceptible to some pesticides, and that there is correlation between the...
متن کاملHeavy metals concentration levels in selected arable agricultural soils in South Western Nigeria
The application of micronutrient supplements such as fertilizer, animal manure and sewage sludge in bid to enhance soil productivity and crop yield, poses the risk of heavy metals elevation and nutrients depletion in arable lands. Arable soils were collected from farmlands in use for the cultivation of food produce in selected farming communities in South Western Nigeria. The soils were air-dri...
متن کاملStatus of heavy metals in agricultural soils as affected by different patterns of land use.
This study was conducted to determine status of heavy metals in agricultural soils under different patterns of land use. A total of 38, 40 and 45 soil samples for bare vegetable field, greenhouse vegetable field, and grain crop field were respectively taken from surface layer (0-20 cm) from selected experimental areas away from suburbs of ten counties (or districts or cities) in four provinces ...
