Compost amendments up to one inch restore dry rangeland soil health

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rangelands harbor immense diversity and provide ecosystem services across vast swaths of land while supporting rural economies and the food system, but degraded rangelands may require active management to restore diversity and function. We added varying amounts of compost to understand if there are linear or saturating effects on vegetation and soil ...

The pitfalls of pastoralism and grazing's hidden threat: Exacerbation of rainfall erosion in semi‐arid areas of China

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The steppe is facing an increase in soil erosion, which is threatening the ecosystem and agricultural production. Our study reveals how grazing intensity and rainfall exacerbate soil erosion that is leading to a gradual loss of soil nutrients. This study raises a warning to both herders and policymakers that focusing on grazing without considering the ...

Know your men and women farmers: Ensuring host farmers in participatory trials represent heterogeneity within the target environment

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Gender responsive and more socially inclusive breeding strategies are needed to ensure new crop varieties, which offer greater yields in an increasingly variable climate, meet the needs of a diverse range of smallholder farmers. Participatory varietal selection actively involves farmers in testing and selecting new varieties at the end of the breeding ...
