Agronomic Performance and Water Use Indicators of Cactus Species Widely Cultivated in Semiarid Regions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance, crop evapotranspiration (ETc), crop coefficients (Kc, Kcb and Ke) and yield response factor (Ky) of three forage cactus clones—Orelha de Elefante Mexicana (OEM), Miúda (MIU) and IPA Sertânia (IPA)—grown in a semiarid environment.

Devastating Rio Doce mining disaster sends shockwaves through earthworm populations

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The Fundão dam breach is considered one of the most severe environmental mining disasters globally, causing widespread changes to the soils of the Rio Doce watershed, one of Brazil's most important catchments. Given the ecological importance of earthworms to soil structure and dynamics, we investigated the richness, abundance, and biomass of ...

Are historical trends in weather consistent with model predictions in the Central United States?

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Model projections predict increasing temperatures and precipitation change in many locations in the Central United States. To provide perspective on what these trends might bring relative to what has already happened, we compared historical temperature and precipitation change with what models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project ...

Soil carbon storage or sustainable conservation agriculture practices—Which should be our goal?

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Practices such as no‐tillage, cover crops, or diversification of crop rotation are thought to be capable of addressing climate change challenges while ensuring food security. Public and private sectors at national and international levels are currently incentivizing farmers to adopt these practices to increase soil carbon (C) levels, thus ...
