A global FAOSTAT reference database of cropland nutrient budgets and nutrient use efficiency (1961–2020): nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by Ludemann, Cameron I., Wanner, Nathan, Chivenge, Pauline, Dobermann, Achim, Einarsson, Rasmus, Grassini, Patricio, Gruere, Armelle, Jackson, Kevin, Lassaletta, Luis, Maggi, Federico, Obli-Laryea, Griffiths, van Ittersum, Martin K., Vishwakarma, Srishti, Zhang, Xin, Tubiello, Francesco N.

“…This study introduces improvements over previous work in relation to the key nutrient coefficients affecting nutrient budgets and nutrient use efficiency estimates, especially with respect to nutrient removal in crop products, manure nutrient content, atmospheric deposition and crop biological N fixation rates. We conclude by discussing future research directions and highlighting the need to align statistical definitions across research groups as well as to further refine plant and livestock coefficients and expand estimates to all agricultural land, including nutrient flows in meadows and pastures. …”

Impact of agroecological management on plant diversity and soil-based ecosystem services in pasture and coffee systems in the Atlantic forest of Brazil by Mancini Teixeira, Heitor, Bianchi, Felix J.J.A., Cardoso, Irene María, Tittonell, Pablo Adrian, Peña-Claros, Marielos

“…For each of the total of 24 fields (twelve pastures and twelve coffee) we recorded 41 variables associated with management practices, indicators of plant diversity (taxonomical, structural and functional diversity) and soil quality (biological, chemical and physical properties). The direct and indirect effects of management on plant diversity, soil quality and in the case of coffee, crop productivity, were assessed using structural equation models. …”

Voluntary forest set-asides in Sweden by Lindfors, Therese

“…The principle with voluntary forest set-asides is that the forest owners in a voluntary way should set forest with a high biological value aside from production. The voluntary forest set aside should be a connecting area of productive forest land (0.5 ha) where no actions that can hurt the biodiversity are allowed. …”
