Agricultural intensification weakens soil multifunctionality by reducing fungal diversity

Elsevier,

Applied Soil Ecology, Volume 189, September 2023, 104900
This study showed that agricultural intensification reduced fungal Shannon diversity and weakened soil multifunctionality, where fungal diversity was the major driver of soil multifunctionality. The Authors suggested that sustaining microbial diversity, especially fungal diversity can reduce the effect of agricultural intensification on soil multifunctionality.

Triggering sustainable plastics consumption behavior: Identifying consumer profiles across Europe and designing strategies to engage them

Elsevier,

Sustainable Production and Consumption, Volume 36, March 2023
This paper sought to explore similarities, variations and determinants of sustainable plastics consumption behavior within a sample of approximately 7600 respondents from eight European countries. We find that most consumers engage in sustainable plastics behavior during the usage phase, by reusing plastic containers and refilling water bottles. The regression analysis suggests that personal responsibility, having high values for nature, being a member of a nature organization and feeling knowledgeable about plastic pollution are important predictors of sustainable plastics consumption.
