Effects of marine noise pollution on Mediterranean fishes and invertebrates: A review.
2020
International audience; Marine noise pollution (MNP) can cause a multitude of impacts on many organisms, but information is often scattered and general outcomes difficult to assess. We have reviewed the literature on MNP impacts on Mediterranean fish and invertebrates. Both chronic and acute MNP produced by various human activities - e.g. maritime traffic, pile driving, air guns - were found to cause detectable effects on intra-specific communication, vital processes, physiology, behavioral patterns, health status and survival. These effects on individuals can extend to inducing population- and ecosystem-wide alterations, especially when MNP impacts functionally important species, such as k…
Complémentarité entre expérimentations et réseau de fermes pour explorer des systèmes de culture à faible usage de pesticides
2013
Cropping system prototypes are assessed in long term experiments to test innovative strategies. The experiment conducted at the INRA-Dijon showed that Integrated Weed Management can be successful in controlling weeds. Environmental benefits and impacts on productivity and profitability were quantified. However, only a limited number of strategies can be explored in such experiments, and the generic value of the results might be questioned, notably regarding the adaptation of the systems to other contexts. Analysing data from farm networks provide additional knowledge, using the huge diversity of agricultural situations and cropping systems. The network ‘DEPHY-Ferme’ is part of the ECOPHYTO …
