Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 450-459, August 2026.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Global Carbon Investment in Terrestrial Biological Nitrogen Fixation

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) provides the N needed to produce proteins and other biological building blocks, helping feed humanity and mitigate climate change. Due to its high energetic cost compared to other forms of N acquisition, biotic investment in BNF indicates N limitation. Globally gridded BNF flux data provide an opportunity

Identification of galactogogues in Gliricidia maculata

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract Galactogogues are substances used by periparturient dairy cows for boosting milk production and preventing negative energy balance. A long-term use of commercial galactogogues has a toxic effect to normal health status of both human and animals. The study was conducted to identify herbal galactogogues from bioactive compounds of
