- Long-term evaluation of surface topographic and topsoil grain composition changes in an agricultural landscapePublication . Halászová, Klaudia; Lackóová, Lenka; Panagopoulos, ThomasUnderstanding long-term changes in topography and topsoil grain composition is crucial for the management of agricultural landscapes, especially in areas prone to wind erosion. This study investigates long-term changes in topography and topsoil grain composition within an agricultural landscape in south-western Slovakia. To analyse topographic changes over time, we used high-precision positioning measurements and airborne laser scanning to create digital terrain models (DTM) for the years 2011, 2017 and 2020. To assess changes in soil grain composition, we performed grain size analyses on soil samples collected during three different periods: M1 (1961–1970), M2 (2009–2015) and M3 (2015–2016). Changes in soil texture were evaluated to understand the impact of wind erosion on soil composition. The influence of windbreaks was also analysed by comparing the accumulation and deflation processes. The results showed significant changes in both topography and soil texture over the study period. The DTMs showed marked differences in the accumulation and deflation processes, highlighting areas affected by wind erosion. Comparisons of soil samples showed a shift in dominant soil types from loam and clay loam to silty loam, highlighting the effects of wind erosion. Analysis revealed a decrease in clay and silt content and an increase in sand content, indicating wind-induced soil degradation. The presence of windbreaks played a crucial role in reducing soil erosion by reducing wind speed, promoting soil accumulation and stabilising the landscape up to 80 m windward and 20 m leeward. The study highlights the complex interplay of climate and wind factors in shaping topography and soil properties and emphasises the protective role of windbreaks in agricultural landscapes over time. Our results show that wind erosion significantly alters soil texture, which can affect agricultural productivity. However, windbreaks have proven to be an effective measure in reducing soil erosion and maintaining soil quality.
- Mapping organizational culture, work motivation and innovative behaviour, before and during the crisis: a bibliometric analysisPublication . Rodrigues Guita Almeida, Maria Helena; Kumi, S.; Lampreia Carvalho, FatimaAbstract COVID-19 and the Russia–Ukraine war have profoundly transformed the organisational culture of many organisations, shifting from a focus on security to innovation, which poses a major challenge for managers in all aspects of service delivery, including the healthcare sector. This article addresses gaps in the literature by exploring and mapping the evolution of organisational culture, work motivation, and innovative behaviour before and during the crisis (2012–2018), and summarises the relationship between these variables in 25 selected articles. A literature review on Web of Science with bibliometric analysis and RStudio was conducted. The dynamics, associations, dimensions, and networks that emerge as a way of adapting to new contexts to foster innovation are examined. Results indicate that keywords have evolved over time, and a positive and significant relationship between organisational culture, motivation, and innovation was also identified. The findings suggest that organisations should focus on organisational culture to leverage it as a tool for motivating and fostering innovative behaviour in the workplace.
