Landscape composition and orchard management effects on bat assemblages and bat foraging activity in apple crops by Marcos Miñarro, Daniel García

“…Little is known, however, on how bat assemblages respond to the gradients imposed by anthropogenic landscapes and farming practices and how these environmental effects translate into changes in bat foraging. In this study, we use cider apple crop in northern Spain as a model to address the filtering effects of landscape composition and orchard management on, simultaneously, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of bat local assemblages and their foraging activity. …”

The Effect of Wheat Residues and Vermicompost on the Quality Characteristics of Corn (Zea mays L.) Forage and Soil Fertility by Hasanali Pooresmaeil, Mehdi Dahmradeh, Ahmad Ghanbari

“…Organic materials increase the ability to absorb nutrients and increase the quality of corn forage by increasing DMD and reducing ADF. The results of this research demonstrated that the integrated system of 70% vermicompost and 30% wheat residue exhibited significant advantages in the characteristics under investigation, outperforming other treatments in the test area.…”
