Effects of land management on soil carbon storage in the Brazilian Amazon
Abstract This study assessed the influence of land use on soil physical and chemical properties and evaluated machine learning (ML) models for predicting soil organic carbon (SOC) content and stocks in the top 0–30 cm layer across selected sites in the Brazilian Amazon. A total of 649 georeferenced samples of surface soil were analyzed for soil texture,

Abstract The low yield of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) in sub‐Saharan Africa is credited to several limitations, including poor soil fertility and unsustainable cropping systems. Cereals like maize (Zea mays L.) and legume crops like cowpea support smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa. Intercropping (more common than rotations) can boost

Abstract An intercropping system is one of the traditional practices adopted under dry conditions due to its ability to utilize resources efficiently. There is limited information on water use efficiency (WUE) and water equivalent ratio (WER) of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)‐cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) intercrop grown in different agroecological ...
