Pesticides can have unintentional effects on non-target organisms and change biotic communities. Such changes might be particularly important in soil ...

Two lectins, concanavalin A (Con A) and Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA), have anti-feedant properties that suggest a potential for the control of i...

Although studies have explored how soil microbial diversity and soil multifunctionality respond to land-use change at local scales, they have rarely b...
