Unravelling vicious circles of land use competition and food insecurity in agropastoral rangelands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In many regions of the world, the adoption of new livelihood strategies that compete with traditional strategies is one driver of competition over land, resulting in unforeseen impacts on the livelihoods of land users and accelerating land degradation. One example is the Borana Zone in southern Ethiopia, where the expansion of crop cultivation

Der kurzfristige Einfluss von drei Zwischenfruchtarten und zwei verschiedenen Bodenbearbeitungen auf Frühjahrs-NO3-N des Bodens und Ertrag der Hauptfrucht Hafer [PDF]

, 2015
Reduced tillage and green manures may be capable to further improve organic crop production systems. However, it is presumed that under organic farming conditions a lower intensity of soil tillage may reduce nitrogen (N) availability and increase weed ...

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented
