Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, provide vital support for human life, but overloading nutrients to the Earth system leads to environmental concerns, such as water and air pollution on local scales and climate change on the global scale. With an urgent need t...

Intercropping of cotton and cowpea is one of the ways to improve food security and soil fertility while generating and maintaining cash income of the rural poor. A study was carried out to find out the effects of cotton-cowpea intercropping strategies on crop yields and...

De bijdrage van de bomen aan de bodemorganische koolstof in agroforestrysystemen verloopt via decompositie van biomassa: snoeimateriaal, afgevallen bladeren, en zelfs afgestorven fijne wortels, die in de bovenste bodemlagen terechtkomen. Verder wordt er ook koolstof opg...

International audience; The object of the study is to analyze the spatial-temporal variability of soil nutrients in the winter wheat growing season, and try to reveal the dynamic change of soil nutrients in winter wheat field. Measurements of soil nitrate nitrogen (NN),...

Urban development alters the physical and chemical properties of soil which presents challenges for vegetation establishment. Compost, when applied as a soil amendment, can help to ameliorate these challenges. In field trials, we evaluated the effect of surface-applied ...

The ecological impact of fire regimes on plant diversity and soil fertility has become a subject of intense discussion, especially in savannas where recurring incidences are common. This study assessed the short-term effects of early-season fire on herbaceous compositio...

We provide a comprehensive dataset of vertical profiles of photosynthetic capacity and important leaf traits, including leaf N and P concentrations, from two three-year, large-scale fertilisation experiments conducted in two tropical rainforests in French Guiana. These ...

Most adoption studies have employed cross-sectional data in a static discrete choice modelling framework to analyze why some farmers adopt at a certain point in time. The static approach does not consider the dynamic environment in which the adoption decision is made an...
