The effect of drought and nitrogen fertiliser addition on nitrate leaching risk from a pasture soil; an assessment from a field experiment and modelling.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of the science of food and agriculture"
DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.8893
Abstract: BACKGROUND A combination of field experiment and modelling tested the hypothesis that dry summers increase the risk of nitrogen (N) leaching from pasture owing to a combination of: soil N accumulation in a dry summer;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00267-019-01181-8
Abstract: Pasture degradation hinders livestock production and ecosystem services that support rural smallholder communities throughout Latin America. Silvopastoral systems, with improved pasture cultivars (especially Brachiaria spp.) and multipurpose trees, offer a promising strategy to restore soils… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10457-019-00402-7
Abstract: Silvopastoral system is becoming an important strategy to reduce the impacts of climate variability and change on animal production. However, such system interferes in the soil water availability for the pasture, which is not already… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10457-020-00505-6
Abstract: Integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLS) with fast-growing tree plantations are an environmentally sound approach for agricultural production. Soil carbon stocks can be increased under these systems, but there is no information on the relative contributions of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11119-018-9592-3
Abstract: Since the typical destructive methods for measuring aboveground biomass (AGB) have many limitations, a variety of non-destructive techniques have been developed. In this paper, the potential of ground-based hyperspectral remote-sensed data for non-destructive assessment of… read more here.
