Can biosolids compost improve, in the short term, native vegetation and soils fertility in burned Nothofagus pumilio forest in Patagonia, Argentina? = ¿Puede el compost de biosólidos mejorar a corto plazo la vegetación nativa y las características de fertilidad del suelo en un bosque quemado de Nothofagus pumilio en la Patagonia Argentina?
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2011)In the Patagonian Andean forests, wildfires principally have an anthropic origin and constitute one of the most important disturbances. They lead to severe losses of soil fertility and vegetation; particularly compromising ... -
Cotton as an entry point for soil fertility maintenance and food crop productivity in savannah agroecosystems-Evidence from a long-term experiment in southern Mali
(2015-06)Given the scarcity of manure and the limited land available for fallowing, cotton cultivation with its input credit schemes is often the main entry point for nutrients in cropping systems of West Africa. In an experiment ... -
How does crop residue removal affect soil organic carbon and yield? A hierarchical analysis of management and environmental factors
(2015-10)The current advancement of the bioenergy sector along with the need for sustainable agricultural systems call for context-specific crop residue management options – implying variable degrees of removal – across climatic ... -
Inter-community and on-farm asymmetric organic matter allocation patterns drive soil fertility gradients in a rural Andean landscape.
(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 ... -
Soil variability and crop yield gaps in two village landscapes of Burkina Faso
(Springer, 2016-07)Low crop yields in the savannah zones of West Africa are commonly attributed to rainfall deficits and poor soil fertility. In this study, an assessment was made on how the position of fields belonging to different farm ...
