TL;DR: In this article, the effects of agricultural intensification on vegetation or soil communities at field or local scales were examined in a 150 km 2 agricultural landscape in the Sacramento Valley of California.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined management options for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, eight research regions were classified into social-ecological domains, using a dataset of indicators of livelihood resources, i.e., capital assets.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of agriculture in the Central Valley of California shows the urgency for building adaptation strategies to climate change and the effects of greenhouse gas emissions are complex, and several of the county’s current crops will be less viable in 2050.

TL;DR: A historic N mass balance of two agricultural regions of California is constructed to understand trends and drivers of past and present N loading to groundwater (1945-2005), illustrating the growing tension-characteristic of agricultural regions globally-between intensifying food, feed, fiber, and biofuel production and preserving clean water.

TL;DR: In this article, plant communities, belowground biodiversity and indicators of multiple ecosystem functions of riparian areas across an agricultural landscape in the Sacramento Valley of California, USA were studied along 50m transects at 20 sites that represented the different land use, soil and vegetation types in the landscape.
