ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF SOIL EROSION AND FERTILITY MINING IN NORTHERN TANZANIA [PDF]
This paper develops a soil conservation model that is relevant to smallholder farmers who apply little or no fertilizer. Empirical results drawn from northern Tanzania imply that, ignoring fertility mining problem in model specification leads to ...

An investigation of upland soil fertility from different soil types
Soil type is a vital determinant of soil fertility because of its characteristic biological, chemical, and physical properties. However, the soil fertility of upland soil is probably changed by different agricultural management practices regardless of ...

Effects of organic matter input on soil microbial properties and crop yields in conventional and organic cropping systems [PDF]
Unlike conventional cropping systems, which are characterised by targeted short-term fertility management, organic farming systems depend on long-term increase in soil fertility and promotion of soil biodiversity.

Knowledge acquisition in science and the blurred boundary between perception and cognition
Abstract This paper provides a critical and detailed study of what researchers in the fields of contemporary cognition and neuroscience have revealed about the blurred boundary between perception and cognition. We set out the arguments with a view to what researchers and teachers should now consider regarding the subtleties of their interrelationship ...

Balancing soil nutrient availability on commercial organic farms [PDF]
Soils from two commercial farms were analysed for cation exchange capacities with the aim of improving the balance of available nutrients at soil level, and to support the basic organic principle of maintaining and improving the long-term fertility and ...
