SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA). -

Defining Regenerative Farm Systems & the Effects Of
DEFINING REGENERATIVE FARM SYSTEMS & THE EFFECTS OF REGENERATIVE ALMOND PRODUCTION SYSTEMS ON SOIL HEALTH, BIODIVERSITY, ALMOND NUTRITION, AND PROFIT A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, East Bay In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Biological Science By Thomas Lewis Dudash Fenster May 2021 Copyright © 2021 by Thomas Lewis Dudash Fenster ii Abstract Regenerative agriculture aims to improve soil health and promote biodiversity while producing nutritious food profitably. We developed practice-based scoring systems that define regenerative cropland and rangeland, and validate these scoring systems based on whether these scores scaled with regenerative goals on actual farm operations. Natural clusters in the number of regenerative practices used can be used to distinguish regenerative and conventional operations. Almonds are the dominant crop in California agriculture in terms of acreage and revenue generated, and are mostly farmed using practices that degrade the soil, deplete water resources, and reduce biodiversity in the orchard. We examined the soil health, biodiversity, yield, and profit of regenerative and conventional almond production systems that represented farmer-derived best management practices. Regenerative practices included abandoning some or all synthetic agrichemicals, planting perennial ground covers, integrating livestock, maintaining non- crop habitat, and using composts and compost teas. Total soil carbon, soil organic matter, total soil nitrogen, total soil phosphorous, calcium, sulfur, and soil health test scores were all significantly greater in regenerative soils. Water infiltrated regenerative soils six-fold faster than conventional soils. Total microbial biomass, total bacterial biomass, Gram + bacteria, and Actinobacteria were significantly greater in regenerative soils. -

In the biotopes examined 118 species of terrestrial Heteroptera have been found up to now, which offered a rather good picture of the biogeography of the zone. Most species are very widespread (Palaearctic, Eurosibiric, Euromediterraneo-turanic, Euromediterranean and Mediterranean species). Especially interesting are the Eurosibiric species typical of cold climates, which in Sicily have found a suitable refuge on the Nebrodi, at the higher levels, and the more tipically Mediterranean species: these two groups characterize the hemiptero-fauna of the Nebrodi. Among the Eurosibiric species Ceratocombus coleoptratus Zeit, is particularly interesting since it represents the first record in Sicily of a member of the family Ceratocombidae.

New Records of Terrestrial Bugs from the Maltese Islands with an Updated List of Maltese Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera)
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OAR@UM BULLETIN OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF MALTA (2010) Vol. 3 : 19-39 New records of terrestrial bugs from the Maltese Islands with an updated list of Maltese Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera) David CUESTA SEGURA1, Manuel BAENA RUÍZ2 & David MIFSUD3 ABSTRACT. Thirty-four species of Heteroptera were found from the Maltese islands during a sampling period of a week in April of 2009. Of these, seven represent new records for this territory and include the seed bugs Artheneis foveolata, Emblethis duplicatus, Engistus boops boops and Oxycarenus hyalinipennis and the plant bugs Megalodactylus macularubra, Mimocoris sp. and Phytocoris sp. The integration of the records from the last Catalogue of Maltese Heteroptera, the Catalogue of the Heteroptera of the Palaeartic Region and the present data raised the heteroptera known from the Maltese islands to 223 species accommodated in 161 genera and 26 families. KEY WORDS. Malta, true bugs, new records, updated list. INTRODUCTION Probably the earliest mention of Maltese Heteroptera was due to DALLAS (1852), who recorded four species from Malta, as clearly indicated in Schembri’s catalogue of Maltese Heteroptera (1993) which includes most citations relevant to Maltese Heteroptera. The number of Heteroptera species for Malta increased slowly, and more than a hundred years later, TAMANINI (1966) recorded 67 species belonging to 16 families. DE LUCCA (1969) added some further species and RIEGER (1986) provided information on 35 additional new records for Malta. SCHEMBRI (1993) also described the major Maltese habitat types and provided additional new records, listing a total of 209 taxa (refer to discussion) accommodated in 23 families. -
Hemiptera, Heteroptera) from the Maltese Islands
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OAR@UM BULLETIN OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF MALTA (2015) Vol. 7 : 27–50 DOI: 10.17387/BULLENTSOCMALTA.2015.03 New records of true bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) from the Maltese Islands Attilio CARAPEZZA1 & David MIFSUD2 ABSTRACT. A list of 133 species of heteropteran bugs collected from the Maltese Islands is presented; 21 of them are new records for the Maltese archipelago whereas an additional 15 represent new records for individual islands of this archipelago. The new records are of native origin in the Maltese Islands with the exception of Corythauma ayyari which is an Oriental species rapidly expanding its distribution range in Europe and Saudi Arabia. Earlier records of Capsodes gothicus and Gonocerus insidiator from Malta are incorrect and should refer to C. vittiventris and G. imitator respectively. The presence of Tuponia brevirostris in Malta is confirmed since this record was previously based only on the catalogue of Palaearctic Heteroptera without original data. A total of 15 species previously reported from the Maltese Islands are considered as doubtful. Considering the results of the present paper with additions and corrections made to the checklist of Maltese Heteroptera, the total number of confirmed records is augmented to 232 (221 in Malta, 74 on Gozo and 38 on Comino). KEY WORDS. Mediterranean, Malta, Corythauma ayyari. INTRODUCTION A collection of 133 species of heteropteran bugs collected from the Maltese Islands, revealed the presence of 21 new records for the mentioned territory, in addition to 15 new records for individual islands of this archipelago. -
