Estimating soil organic carbon through loss on ignition: effects of ignition conditions and structural water loss
Hoogsteen, Martine J.J.; Lantinga, Egbert A.; Bakker, Evert Jan; Groot, Jeroen C.J.; Tittonell, Pablo Adrian (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2015-03)Loss on ignition (LOI) is one of the most widely used methods for measuring organic matter content in soils but does not have a universal standard protocol. A large number of factors may influence its accuracy, such as ... -
Exploring farmer perceptions of agricultural innovations for maize-legume intensification in the mid-hills region of Nepal
Alomia-Hinojosa, Victoria; Speelman, Erika N.; Thapa, Arun; Wei, Hsiang-En; McDonald, Andrew J.; Tittonell, Pablo Adrian; Groot, Jeroen C.J. (Taylor & Francis, 2018)Maize-legume intercropping is a fundamental component of mixed farming systems in the mid-hills of Nepal. However, its productivity is constrained by several biophysical and social factors, and limited adoption of proven ... -
Exploring nutrient-sensitive landscape configurations for rural communities in southern Mexico
Novotny, Ivan P.; Rossing, Walter A.H.; Tittonell, Pablo Adrian; Fuentes-Ponce, Mariela H.; Groot, Jeroen C.J. (Elsevier, 2024-06)In Mexico, the traditional MILPA polycropping system is giving way to maize monocultures, impacting the nutritional diversity of smallholder farmers and diminishing ecosystem services. This study explores landscape ... -

Ruminant livestock production ... -
Inter-community and on-farm asymmetric organic matter allocation patterns drive soil fertility gradients in a rural Andean landscape.
Caulfield, Mark E.; Fonte, Steven J.; Tittonell, Pablo Adrian; Vanek, Steven J.; Sherwood, Stephen; Oyarzun, Pedro; Borja, Ross Mary; Dumble, Sam; Groot, Jeroen C.J. (Wiley, 2020-12)Soil fertility in agricultural landscapes is driven by complex interactions between natural and anthropogenic processes, with organic matter (OM) inputs playing a critical role. Asymmetric allocation patterns of these ... -
