TL;DR: It was found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms, which suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of 287 farmers in 7 EU countries and in 4 cropping systems, alongside 22 in-depth semi-structured interviews with experts from the agricultural knowledge and innovation system was conducted to understand the relevance of ongoing technological progress for farming systems across Europe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored farmers' and other stakeholders' perceptions and attitudes towards smart farming in Germany with a multi-actor approach, and a comprehensive situational picture of smart farming appraisal was composed and, a general raise of awareness among the respective AKIS actors generated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the underlying processes of the ongoing technological progress and its relevance to farming systems across Europe, and explore who are the farmers that adopt digital innovations, what supporting factors and barriers do they perceive and within this context, which actors and sources of information are supportive and how?
