degradation is a global concern, decreasing the ’s ability to perform a multitude of functions. , one of the leading causes of degradation is unsustainable agricultural practices. Hence, there is a need to explore alternative production systems for enhanced agronomic productivity and environmental performance, such as agroforestry systems (AFS). Given this, the ...
's soils are under threat. Human activity and climate change are two reasons for this, each playing a part in continuously degrading our . This is a problem, as is one of our most ...
The addresses 6 expected impacts with targeted activities in response to societal, scientific, policy and operational challenges. A first annual workplan based on the roadmap is provided as part of the proposal. The consortium unites a unique group of 26 leading research institutes and universities in 24 countries.
total carbon, total nitrogen and organic matter were mainly affected by AD, whereas FWL had a major influence on pH, ammonium and nitrate. Along the elevation gradient (150–175 m), the properties were determined mainly by the sampling elevation, accounting for 67.6% of the variation, followed by short-term (5.6%) and long-term ...
We identify a negative relationship between SM and TXx, whereby a 100 mm decrease in model-based SM is associated with a 1.6 °C increase in TXx in Southern-Central and Southeastern . Dry SM conditions result in a 2–4 °C increase in the 20-year return value of TXx compared to wet conditions in these two regions.
In Central and Western , degradation problems are similar, although there is less sealing. Forty-five percent of the soils have a low content of organic matter. There are great differences with respect to the soils’ physical, chemical, and biological properties. More than 320 major types have been identified in ...
