Data for: Assessment of cryogenic pretreatment for simulating environmental weathering in the formation of surrogate micro- and nanoplastics from agricultural mulch film

<p>Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) from mulch films and other plastic materials employed in vegetable and small fruit production pose a major threat to agricultural ecosystems. For conducting controlled studies on MPs' and NPs' (MNPs') ecotoxicity to soil organisms and plants and fate and transport in soil, surrogate MNPs are<br>required that mimic MNPs that form in agricultural fields. We have developed a procedure to prepare MPs from plastic films or pellets using mechanical milling and sieving, and conversion of the resultant MPs into NPs through wet grinding, both steps of which mimic the degradation and fragmentation of plastics in nature. The major goal of this study was to determine if cryogenic exposure of two biodegradable mulch films effectively mimics the embrittlement caused by environmental weathering in terms of the dimensional, thermal, chemical, and biodegradability properties of the formed MNPs. We found differences in size, surface charge, thermal and chemical properties, and biodegradability in soil between MNPs' prepared from cryogenically treated vs. environmentally weathered films, related to the photochemical reactions occurring in the environment that were not mimicked by cryogenic treatment, such as depolymerization and cross-link formation. We also investigated the size reduction process for NPs and found that the size distribution was bimodal, with populations centered at 50 nm and 150–300 nm, and as the size reduction process progressed, the former subpopulation's proportion increased. The biodegradability of MPs in soil was greater than for NPs, a counter-intuitive trend since greater surface area exposure for NPs would increase biodegradability. The result is associated with differences in surface and chemical properties and to minor components that are readily leached out during the formation of NPs. In summary, the use of weathered plastics as feedstock would likely produce MNPs that are more realistic than cryogenically-treated unweathered films for use in experimental studies.</p>

Navigating agricultural landscapes: Responses of critically endangered giant tortoises to farmland vegetation and infrastructure

<p><strong>Context</strong>: Interactions between wildlife and anthropogenic infrastructure, such as roads, fences, and dams, can influence wildlife movement, and potentially cause human-wildlife conflict. In the Galapagos archipelago, two species of critically endangered giant tortoise encounter infrastructure and human-modified vegetation in farms, which could influence movement choices.</p> <p><strong>Objectives</strong>: We investigated factors influencing tortoise movement and habitat selection in the agricultural landscape of Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: We examined the movement of 27 tortoises collected using GPS tracking between 2014 and 2020, in relation to the location of vegetation, ponds, fences, and roads.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> We found that tortoises preferred pasture over native vegetation, but there was little difference among their preferences for native vegetation, crops, or invasive vegetation. Tortoises also travelled slower in pasture, and faster in invasive vegetation, compared to crops and native vegetation. Tortoises were more likely to be found closer to ponds than predicted by chance. Our results indicated that most fences were porous to tortoises, with limited impact on their movement. Tortoises were more likely to use areas near roads with low-traffic.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Pastures and ponds are important habitats for tortoises in farms and are likely to be used preferentially by tortoises. Overall, fences and roads did not strongly obstruct tortoise movements, however, this may lead to potential injury to tortoises on roads and property damage for farmers. To best identify priority areas for managing wildlife on farms, we recommend evaluating the combined effects of multiple anthropogenic landscape features on wildlife movements.</p>

Data from: Multi-level thresholds of residential and agricultural land use for elk avoidance across the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

<p>1. Conversion of land for settlements and agriculture is increasing globally and can influence wildlife space use. However, there is limited research to identify the thresholds of land use change that incur wildlife avoidance, and how these thresholds might vary across levels of selection.</p> <p>2. We evaluated multi-level avoidance thresholds of elk (<em>Cervus canadensis</em>) impacted by residential development and irrigated agriculture across the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Using GPS data from 765 elk in 21 herds, we estimated habitat selection in relation to development and agriculture at 3 levels (home range selection, within home range selection, and movement path selection). Next, using individual selection covariates and associated measures of land use availability, we used functional-response models to evaluate how selection varied based on availability, and in turn, to estimate avoidance thresholds.</p> <p>3. We found individual and level-specific variation in elk responses to environmental factors. Elk exhibited stronger responses (either selection or avoidance) when selecting home range locations (i.e. second-order selection) than when selecting areas within home ranges (i.e. third-order selection) or selecting movement paths (i.e. fourth order selection). Importantly, elk avoidance of development and agriculture changed as the amount of land in these categories changed. Across all levels of selection, elk exhibited neutral selection for human development at low levels of availability (&lt;1.1–2.2% developed) but avoided areas that were &gt;1.1–2.2% developed. Conversely, elk selected positively for irrigated agriculture at low to moderate levels of availability (&lt;52.0–66.2% agriculture) but exhibited neutral selection in areas that were &gt; 52.0–66.2% agriculture.</p> <p>4. Synthesis and Applications: Elk avoidance of low levels of human development suggests conservation efforts such as restrictions on future development or conservation easements could focus on areas that are still below 2% developed. Additionally, because elk selection was strongest at the landscape scale, conservation actions that are based on information about the overall landscape structure may be most impactful. Our results highlight the importance of understanding variability in wildlife habitat selection at multiple levels, particularly in relation to land use change and highlight how functional response modelling can help inform landscape conservation.</p>

Community reorganization stabilizes freshwater ecosystems in intensively managed agricultural fields

<ol> <li>Sustainable intensification may depend on associating precision farming with the harnessing of ecological principles in crop fields and with integrating farms and non-farmed land in productive landscapes. Small wetlands could play an important role in both pursuits for having high per-unit-area rates of element cycling and species richness while deeply penetrating crop fields. However, their potential for ecosystem service provisioning is unlikely to be met if land management intensification promotes ecosystem destabilization in biomass production. </li> <li>We tested the consequences of land use intensification on various dimensions of freshwater ecosystem stability by means of a large-scale field experiment converting extensive pastures to intensive pastures and sugarcane plantations in Southeastern Brazil. Nested within experimental plots were 4,000-L mesocosms simulating ponds and puddles commonly found in productive landscapes. Mesocosms were monitored for basic physico-chemical parameters, nutrients, pesticides, phytoplankton standing crop, and the spontaneously colonizing biodiversity.</li> <li>3. Despite severe environmental change, the stability of sugarcane communities was no different from that of extensive and intensive pastures. This occurred because the local extinction of a sensitive top dragonfly predator following the application of vinasse and insecticide was compensated by colonization of a suite of more tolerant invertebrate mesopredators such as beetles and bugs. Community stability tended to increase with biomass asynchrony and species richness, evidencing a portfolio effect of biodiversity. Unfortunately, the species richness necessary to stabilize biomass production is unlikely to be available in many sugarcane fields and several other row crops.</li> <li> <em>Synthesis and applications.</em> Ponds and puddles could be effective centers of irradiation of ecosystem service provisioning in agricultural fields in terms of pest control; nutrient accumulation, cycling, and export back to fields; and habitat and stepping stones for freshwater biodiversity. However, the impoverished biodiversity that results from a combination of harsh local conditions and spatial isolation renders pond communities inherently unstable. Given the unlikely, immediate reduction in agrochemical use in much of the intensively managed crop area, a combination of large, protected source wetlands at the margin of fields and small constructed or naturally forming ponds and puddles in plantations could contribute to sustainable intensification.</li> </ol>

Input-Output Global Hybrid Analysis of Agricultural Primary Production (IO-GHAAP) Database

<p>A commonly used method to examine the relationship between global water consumption and production is input--output analysis. However, between approximately 70% and 90% of freshwater consumption occurs in agricultural primary production, which is often represented by only a small percentage of the total number of sectors in input-output databases. In addition, the assessment of the impact of water consumption is usually carried out at the national level.</p> <p><br> Therefore, the primary objective of the Input-Output Global Hybrid Analysis of Agricultural Primary Production (IO-GHAAP) approach was to improve assessments of water use and its impacts in input-output analysis.</p> <p><br> To achieve this objective, a global spatial model of agricultural primary production <em>MapSPAM</em> (IFPRI, 2019) was integrated into the existing input-output database <em>GLORIA</em> (Lenzen et al., 2017, 2021) via prorating. The resulting IO-GHAAPP approach includes (1) a disaggregated input-output database and novel environmental extensions for freshwater consumption and scarcity. The IO-GHAAPP database consists of 150 categories and 164 regions, resulting in a total of 24,600 region-category combinations. Forty-two of the categories are dedicated to agricultural primary production (28%). In comparison, the source input--output data consist of 120 categories and 164 regions, resulting in a total of 19,680 region-category combinations, of which 14 are dedicated to agricultural primary production (12%).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Please cite as:</strong></p> <p>Bunsen, Jonas, Vlad Coroamă, and Matthias Finkbeiner. 2023. &lsquo;Input-Output Global Hybrid Analysis of Agricultural Primary Production (IO-GHAAPP) Database&rsquo;. <em>Sustainability</em> 15 (2). <a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/su15129351">https://doi.org/10.3390/su15129351</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>References:</strong></p> <ul> <li>IFPRI. 2019. &lsquo;Global Spatially-Disaggregated Crop Production Statistics Data for 2010 Version 2.0&rsquo;.

Datasets and analysis for: Microclimatic buffering in forest, agricultural and urban landscapes through the lens of a grass-feeding insect

<p>Using this dataset, we aimed to identify the microclimatic offsets that accurately represent the environment in which a small arthropod spends most of its life. As a case study, we selected grassy sites that corresponded to the microhabitat of grass-feeding insects in general, and larvae of the butterfly <em>Pararge</em> <em>aegeria</em> in particular, as this insect recently expanded its habitat use from forest (edges) to agricultural and urban environments. We tested to what extent local microclimates and microclimatic buffering capacity differed between tufts of grass in forest and in two anthropogenic (i.e. agricultural and urban) landscape settings by measuring microclimatic variables with sensors at the level of the grasses. We compared temperature, relative humidity and vapour pressure deficit (VPD) during an exceptionally warm and dry summer period with parallel data from weather stations and tested for differences between microclimatic profiles among the three landscape settings. Using this approach, our findings stress the functional implications of landscape-specific microclimatic profiles at the appropriate organism-centred scale.</p>

Unaccounted N2O source to the atmosphere from agriculture through groundwater denitrification and use for irrigation

<p>Nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O), a potent greenhouse gas, is produced in cultivated soils and this production is enhanced by the application of reactive nitrogen in the form of fertilizers. Part of fertilizers applied is not taken up by crops, leading to their accumulation in the groundwater where they can evolve into N<sub>2</sub>O through nitrification/denitrification. Based on chemical and isotopic measurements of nitrate (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>) and N<sub>2</sub>O in Indian groundwater, we report for the first-time evidence for the widespread occurrence of denitrified NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> and of high concentrations of N<sub>2</sub>O (&gt;2000% of saturation). The accumulation of N<sub>2</sub>O is high in regions where groundwater is intensely abstracted for irrigation, releasing this accumulated N<sub>2</sub>O into the atmosphere. Using annual mean groundwater abstraction for irrigation in India, which is the highest in the globe, we estimated that 0.06 to 20 GgN<sub>2</sub>O/y is effluxed to the atmosphere, which adds 0.1 to 20% of the N<sub>2</sub>O flux emitted by agricultural soils in India.&nbsp; This so far unidentified source around the globe may thus contribute significantly to the imbalance in the global N<sub>2</sub>O budget.</p>

Data from: Phenotypic clines in herbivore resistance and reproductive traits in wild plants along an agricultural gradient

<p>The conversion of natural landscapes to agriculture is a leading cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. While many studies examine how landscape modification affects species diversity, a trait-based approach can provide new insights into species responses to environmental change. Wild plants persisting in heavily modified landscapes provide a unique opportunity to examine species' responses to land use change. Trait expression within a community plays an important role in structuring species interactions, highlighting the potential implications of landscape mediated trait changes on ecosystem functioning. Here we test the effect of increasing agricultural landscape modification on defensive and reproductive traits in three commonly occurring Brassicaceae species to evaluate plant responses to landscape change. We collected seeds from populations at spatially separated sites with variation in surrounding agricultural land cover and grew them in a greenhouse common garden, measuring defensive traits through an herbivore no-choice bioassay as well as reproductive traits such as flower size and seed set. In two of the three species, plants originating from agriculturally dominant landscapes expressed a consistent reduction in flower size and herbivore leaf consumption. One species also showed reduced fitness associated with increasingly agricultural landscapes. These findings suggest that wild plants are responding to landscape modification, highlighting that species diversity alone does not fully capture the effects of land use change.  </p>

Agroforestry-based community forestry as a large-scale strategy to reforest agricultural encroachment areas in Myanmar: ambition vs. local reality

<p>Abstract:&nbsp;<br> Context:&nbsp;<br> The high rate of deforestation in Myanmar is mainly due to agricultural expansion. One task of the Forest Department is to increase tree cover in the encroaching farmland by establishing large-scale agroforestry-based community forests (ACFs).<br> Aim:&nbsp;<br> The objectives of this study were to analyze the adoption and performance of the ACFs in the agricultural encroachment areas in the Bago-Yoma region, Myanmar; and to provide recommendations to enhance the adoption of ACFs by farmers.<br> Methods:&nbsp;<br> We inventoried 42 sample plots and surveyed 291 farmers. Survey responses were analyzed by binary logistic regression, one-way ANOVA, and non-parametric correlation tests to evaluate factors influencing the adoption of ACFs. Stand characteristics were calculated from the inventory data to evaluate the performance of ACFs.<br> Results:&nbsp;<br> Our results show that farmer participation in ACFs was lower than stated in the registry of the Forest Department. Farmers practiced four different agroforestry designs in ACFs with different outcomes. The Forest Department strongly determined tree species and planting designs, farmers&rsquo; perception and participation in ACFs. Farmland size, unclear and insufficient information on ACFs, and a negative perception of raising trees in crop fields were the major factors limiting the adoption rates of ACFs.&nbsp;<br> Conclusion:&nbsp;<br> We recommend capacity building for farmers and Forest Department staff and raising awareness about the benefits of planting designs and trees on farmland. A stronger consideration of farmers&rsquo; preferences for design and species selection could increase their motivation to adopt ACFs and improve the long-term sustainability of ACFs.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
