Floodplains are unique environments that provide a dynamic link between terrestrial and aquatic systems. Intensification of human activity – particularly agriculture urbanisation has resulted in the degradation floodplains worldwide. Restoration sustainable management requires holistic assessment compromise stakeholders to successfully balance environmental, economic, social benefits. Yet, understanding these complex systems sufficiently evidence-based recommendations is challenge. We...
Abstract Canadian Shield clay soils are high in potassium (K) reserves. The differential contribution of soil K fractions to crop nutrition is an important issue for ley farming systems Eastern Canada where nitrogen (N)‐based manure application rate leads surplus and redistribution. Our objective was assess the long‐term change offtake, budget, forms under a 3‐yr‐cycle system (barley [ Hordeum vulgare ]–mixed forage–mixed forage) initiated 1989 ended 2016. liquid dairy (LDM) supplied higher...
Predicted climate change is a threat to dairy farming operations in northern Quebec. Soil conservation measures and the timeframe of crop management may contribute reducing yield variability also support herd populations. Our objective was compare annual cyclic barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) forage stability for 3‐yr ley system (barley‐mixed, forage‐mixed, forage) over 24 yr experimentation under contrasting soil practices. Treatments were chisel or moldboard plowing, mineral fertilization...
Floodplains provide high value ecosystem services to society. One of the most biologically diverse and productive ecosystems, they are under threat from intensive crop production. Implementing innovative agroenvironmental practices such as establishment perennial strips along ditches streams could benefit wildlife in cultivated floodplains, notably fish. This study aimed assess factors driving success reed canarygrass (RCG; Phalaris arundinacea) strips, variation RCG biomass height...
