Microbial biomass activity of a sodic Lixisol reclaimed with gypsum and clean water irrigation in urban vegetable systems of Burkina Faso

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 186, Issue 2, Page 188-195, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Little is known about the effects of gypsum application to remediate saline–sodic soils in the tropics and the role of microbial indicators in soil reclamation. Aims Our study aimed at (1) remediating a highly weathered, irrigated sodic Lixisol under prolonged urban crop production by clean water and gypsum application and (2) to ...

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).

Marécages, une pollution par essence? Conditions d'une écopoétique des marais et autres zones humides au XXe siècle

Orbis Litterarum, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 271-280, June 2026.
Abstract To expose the pollution of marshes and swamps, whether by hydrocarbons or other contaminants, the French or Francophone author of the twentieth century must first confront a literary tradition that equates stagnant water with a volatile poison and, more broadly, wetlands with toxic environments. In his article “Wetland Gloom and Wetland Glory,”
