Agri-environmental indicators to assess cropping and farming systems. A review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the use of agri-environmental indicators in the last decade and review the progress of the methods used for their development, showing that a good identification of the end users, of the practical objectives of the indicator, and of the spatial and temporal scales is essential and should be done at a preliminary step before designing the indicator itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of root mucilage and modelled root exudates on soil structure

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the biodegradation of mucilage de racine with the decomposition of exsudats solubles modelises and showed that the latter decomposes faster than the former.
Journal Article

Biodiversity in intensive grasslands: effect of management, improvement and challenges

TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the effects of several management factors on grassland biodiversity and suggested that new tools (i.e. indicators) are required to evaluate the functions of biodiversity and to achieve biodiversity restoration goals and in the short-term the research priority is to understand and predict biodiversity at the field and farm-scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of maize root mucilage on soil aggregate stability

TL;DR: In this article, root exudates were collected from two-month old maize plants (Zea mays L.) Mucilage and glucose solutions were added at a rate of 2.45 g C kg−1 dry soil to silty clay and silt loam soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual model based on three ecological challenges (dispersal, establishment, and persistence) is proposed to study plant diversity in permanent grasslands. But, the model is limited to a single species.
