DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.04.043
Abstract: Abstract Several alternative amendments like organic manure and biochar have been proposed for revitalizing the degrading soil viability and fertility for sustainable agriculture, globally. However, detailed field-scale studies focussing on the soil and agronomic parameters… read more here.

Reproductive phenology of useful Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest trees: Guiding patterns for seed collection and plant propagation in nurseries
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Forest Ecology and Management"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.03.014
Abstract: The propagation in nurseries of native plant species potentially useful for agroforestry, silvopastoral and restoration programs is hindered by an inadequate supply of high quality seed. Limitations in our knowledge on the phenological patterns of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118296
Abstract: Abstract Reforestation is the largest natural climate solution, while potentially reversing the biodiversity crisis, especially in tropical countries. Dry tropical forests are of particular interest because they experienced greater historic loss, and offer large reforestation… read more here.
