Current and residual effects of compost and inorganic fertilizer on wheat and soil chemical properties
Restoring soil fertility in smallholder
farming systems is essential to sustain crop production.
An experiment was conducted in 2011 and 2012
to study the effect of compost and inorganic fertilizer
application on soil ...
A Participatory GIS Approach to Identify Critical Land Degradation Areas and Prioritize Soil Conservation for Mountainous Olive Groves (Case Study)
Climate change scenarios predict an
increase in the frequency of heavy rainfall events in
some areas. This will increase runoff and soil erosion,
and reduce agricultural productivity, particularly on
vulnerable mountainous ...
Similarity and Suitability Analysis to Assist the Out-Scaling of Sustainable Water and Land Management Practices in West Asia and North Africa
Water scarcity and land degradation are among the most important factors that affect agricultural production and sustainability in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region. Through the Water benchmarks project, ICARDA ...
Investigation of the impact of stone bunds on soil water content - A case study in the northern Ethiopian Highland
During rainy season (June to September) soil erosion by surface runoff is a major issue and a big challenge
for soil conservation scenarios in the northern Ethiopian highland. For reduction of water erosion and thereby
decrease ...
Mapping soil salinity changes using remote sensing in Central Iraq
Salinization is a common problem for agriculture in dryland environments and it has greatly affected land productivity
and even caused cropland abandonment in Central and Southern Iraq. Hence it is of pressing importance ...
