The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts
Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status ...
Assessment of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) grain yield, aerial biomass and flowering date stability in Mediterranean environments
Mediterranean environments are of most interest to study pea adaptability to terminal drought conditions especially in the current context of global climate change. In our work we have tested nine pea cultivars in five ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1982/83
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1986/87
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.

A protocol for the conceptualisation of an agro-ecosystem to guide data acquisition and analysis and expert knowledge integration
Innovative agricultural systems need to combine the production of goods with the provision of environmental
services. When agronomists analyse or design multifunctional agro-ecosystems, they thus need
to include knowledge ...
Genetic Evaluation Of IRAQI Local Goats And Their Crosses Using Milk Traits
In Iraq, improvement of local goat for milk through selection and/or crossbreeding has been
initiated in 1993. Estimation of heritability and repeatability after adjusting records of milk
traits for the fixed effects and ...
Agricultural Activity concept for simulating strategic agricultural production decisions: Case study of weed resistance to herbicide treatments in South-West France
In an uncertain socio-economic and climatic context, sustainable farming is a major challenge for farmers as well as for their agricultural advisors. It is therefore essential to develop a decision support tool (DST) that ...
LOME (leguminous, oleaginous, methanisation)
A presentation on agriculture and energy consumption given as part of the International Conference, “Towards Sustainable Agriculture – What’s missing? What do we still need to know?” that took place on the 29th and 30th ...
Converting to organic viticulture increases cropping system structure and management complexity
Organic viticulture is an effective cultivation method that can reduce the environmental impacts of grape growing while maintaining profitability. For some vineyards, simple adjustments can suffice to make the conversion ...
Assessing the impact of the Nitrate Directive on farming systems using a bio-economic modelling chain
Bio-economic models can be used to assess the impact of policy and environmental measures through
economic and environmental indicators. Focusing on agricultural systems, farmers’ decisions in terms
of cropping systems and ...
