Wetlands in drylands: Use and conflict dynamics at the human–wildlife interface in Mbire District, Zimbabwe

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 1184-1200, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Wetlands in drylands are important resources for agriculture and wildlife, but competition may result in human–wildlife conflict. We sought to understand conditions under which people and wildlife sharing wetlands in drylands may coexist. We applied track counts in riverine wetlands in the dry and wet season (n = 36 days) using belt transects,

Activating dark earths: somatosoils and the carbonic loops of Amazonian ecologies

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 854-874, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Inspired by the fertility and climate change‐mitigation properties of the so‐called Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs), soil science has devised a technoscientific replica, a soil amendment known as biochar, intended to improve agricultural sustainability and carbon storage in the biosphere. Drawing on fieldwork with Afroindigenous horticulturalists,

Assessing soil quality changes after 10 years of agricultural activities in eastern Hungary*

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 1116-1128, December 2021., 2021
Abstract In Hungary, soil plays a fundamental role in agricultural production. The main aim of this research was to track the spatial–temporal variations in certain soil properties (soil organic carbon [So], pH, NO3−, P, K, Mn, Zn and Cu) between 2000 and 2010 in 55 different farms in the eastern part of Hungary (Hajdú‐Bihar region).
