geography and diversity of the biogeographical …

Abstract. For decades, geography has been mainly a qualitative and descriptive discipline. There are now technologies and mathematical tools available that allow formalizing geography in more quantitative terms. In this paper, the distribution and diversity of the soils of are analyzed using GIS tools and pedodiversity algorithms.

Agroforestry Benefits and Challenges for Adoption …

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 ...

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 ...

Impact of

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 ...

Influence of atmospheric patterns on moisture dynamics …

moisture (SM) is a key variable involved in many climatic, geophysical and biological processes, so monitoring its dynamics and understanding its (causal) relations in these processes are crucial. In addition, SM plays a very important role in the hydrological cycle, as it modulates the water and energy exchanges within –atmosphere ...
