Background and Aims Long-lasting changes in soil biodiversity and chemistry reflecting past land use are commonly found during the conversion between natural and agricultural systems . However, no clear pattern can be seen when rotating crops are established. Most studies focus on arable systems and over short-term rotations, neglecting longer-term tree-crop successions. We hypothesised that converting one long-term tree crop...

The continuous increase of CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere due to anthropogenic activities is one of the most important factors that contribute to Climate Change and generates the phenomenon known as Ocean Acidification (OA). Research conducted at the CO 2 vents of Castello Aragonese (Ischia, Italy), which represents a natural laboratory for the study of OA, demonstrated that some organisms, such as polychaetes, thrive under...
