Factors affecting biodiversity in agrosylvopastoral ecosystems with in the Mediterranean Basin: A systematic review
(2018)The biodiversity of Mediterranean agrosylvopastoral ecosystems has been extensively studied, because the Mediterranean Basin is a crossroad of biogeographical influences between cold temperate biota and subtropical species. ... -
Following the route of veterinary antibiotics tiamulin and tilmicosin from livestock farms to agricultural soils
(2022)Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) are not completely metabolized in the animal body. Hence, when animal excretes are used as soil manures, VA residues are dispersed with potential implications for environmental quality and human ... -
