Soil microbial biomass and activity under pasture monoculture and silvopastoral systems
Microbial biomass is an important soil component which contributes to maintaining the ecosystem of pastures, mainly in tropical soils. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate soil microbial biomass and activity in pasture systems under monoculture of ...

Rainwater harvesting in mediterranean silvopastoral systems HD
Dans les zones sèches comme celles que l'on trouve dans la région méditerranéenne, la disponibilité de l'eau est une question critique qui nécessite la promotion de pratiques et d'outils de gestion durable. Ces questions sont encore plus pertinentes dans les contextes actuels de changement climatique.

Forest conversion for agriculture is a major cause of biodiversity loss in the tropics, but its impacts depend on how broadly they are measured. Using data from across Colombia, one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, we examined how deforestation for cattle farming affects the evolutionary history of bird species.
