Macronutrients in Soil and Wheat as Affected by a Long-Term Tillage and Nitrogen Fertilization in Winter Wheat–Fallow Rotation

Agronomy, 2019
The insights gained from the long-term impacts of tillage and N fertilization on soil fertility are crucial for the development of sustainable cropping systems.

Global Diversity of Desert Hypolithic Cyanobacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Global patterns in diversity were estimated for cyanobacteria-dominated hypolithic communities that colonize ventral surfaces of quartz stones and are common in desert environments.

Soil nitrogen regulates symbiotic nitrogen fixation in a legume shrub but does not accumulate under it

Ecosphere, 2021
Legumes in dryland ecosystems face the challenge of maintaining energetically costly symbiosis with N2‐fixing rhizobia, in a water‐ and nutrient‐limited environment. Controlled experiments showed a strong reduction in symbiotic N2 fixation in response to

Biocrusts intensify water redistribution and improve water availability to dryland vegetation: insights from a spatially-explicit ecohydrological model

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Biocrusts are ecosystem engineers in drylands and structure the landscape through their ecohydrological effects. They regulate soil infiltration and evaporation but also surface water redistribution, providing important resources for vascular vegetation.

Forest Restoration at Berenty Reserve, Southern Madagascar: A Pilot Study of Tree Growth Following the Framework Species Method

Land, 2021
Forest conservation and restoration are urgently needed to preserve key resources for the endemic fauna of dry southern Madagascar. This is a priority in the shrinking, seasonally dry forest of Berenty, a private reserve in Southern Madagascar.

Drylands connected

, 2022
The new connectivity, through mobile phones, social media, and wireless internet, is an agent in social change in the drylands. In this chapter, we present four case studies: the introduction of mobile apps in Mongolia and Kenya, the role of mobile telephony in the Sahel, and the introduction of online learning in the Negev Desert.

Optimizing Nitrogen Fertilizer for Wheat Production in Moisture-Deficit Areas of Northern Ethiopia

Journal of Tropical Soils
Depleting soil nutrients is among the significant factors affecting production and productivity in Ethiopia. From the nutrients, nitrogen is the most yield-limiting, which governs wheat production. Therefore, the study was conducted to examine the effect

The PMIP4 simulated dryland aridity changes during the Last Interglacial

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
The dryland is one of the most important land ecosystems on the planet, and its changes are closely bound up with one-third of the world’s population. Investigating dryland climate change during the Last Interglacial (LIG; ∼127 ka ago) can advance our ...
