Adsorption of humic substances on ferrihydrite affects its use as iron source by plants
Agricultural and Food Science, 2020 Poorly crystalline Fe oxides are sources of Fe to plants. The adsorption of humic substances (HS) on these oxides alters its reactivity and stability in soils, and thus may affect Fe mobilization and uptake by plants from these compounds. This work aimed

Probabilistic Assessment of Investment Options in Honey Value Chains in Lamu County, Kenya
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2018 Designing and implementing biodiversity-based value chains can be a complex undertaking, especially in places where outcomes are uncertain and risks of project failure and cost overruns are high. We used the Stochastic Impact Evaluation (SIE) approach to

Impacts of monoculture cropland to alley cropping agroforestry conversion on soil N2O emissions
GCB Bioenergy, 2023 Monoculture croplands are a major source of global anthropogenic emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to ozone depletion. Agroforestry has the potential to reduce N2O emissions.

Cocoa pollination, biodiversity-friendly production, and the global market [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Production of cocoa, the third largest trade commodity globally has experienced climate related yield stagnation since 2016, forcing farmers to expand production in forested habitats and to shift from nature friendly agroforestry systems to intensive monocultures.

Foliar area measurement by a new technique that utilizes the conservative nature of fresh leaf surface density [PDF]
International Agrophysics Vol. 28, Issue 4, pp. 413-421, 2014, 2012 Leaf area LA, is a plant biometric index important to agroforestry and crop production. Previous works have demonstrated the conservativeness of the inverse of the product of the fresh leaf density and thickness, the so-called Hughes constant, K. We use this fact to develop LAMM, an absolute method of LA measurement, i.e.
