Soil Organic Carbon Variability in Tropical Cropping Systems: Interactions With Texture, pH, Macronutrients, and Organic Matter

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and enhancing soil fertility. Its storage and dynamics are particularly significant in agricultural ecosystems of the Peruvian Amazon, where the expansion of agriculture and livestock farming may disrupt the regional carbon balance.

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...

Navigating the seven seas of arthropod collection protocols: Metabarcoding arthropod diversity in a tropical forest

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2395-2407, October 2025.
Abstract Insects and other arthropods represent one of the most diverse groups of life on Earth, with an estimated 70% of species awaiting discovery. Advances in DNA‐based tools have accelerated species discovery, while high‐throughput sequencing has enabled large‐scale biodiversity surveys.

Biochar‐Amended Soils: A Water‐Saving Strategy for Quinoa Cultivation in the Andes

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Previous studies showed that biochar amended soils significantly enhanced the growth and yield of quinoa under water limitations. So it becomes an emerging agronomic strategy to consider for sustainable quinoa production. Biochar can specifically be considered for the area particularly receiving low annual rainfall and more ...

Vertebrate diversity and biomass along a recovery gradient in a lowland tropical forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
Deforestation of tropical forests has resulted in large areas of secondary forests with the potential for biodiversity to re‐establish to levels usually found in old‐growth forests. This study shows that diversity and biomass of mammals and birds in regenerating forests can recover to old‐growth levels within a relatively short time.

Natural forest colonisation as a management strategy to restore soil functioning of abandoned agricultural lands

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 11, Page 2690-2700, November 2024.
Though its effectiveness is variable, passive restoration can be more effective than active restoration. Our research indicates that passive tree colonisation of past agricultural land is enough to achieve soil functionality similar to a mature forest for most variables studied. However, some variables would need more time to reach mature forest levels,
