Publication Review: Lessons learned in sustainable land management in drylands
Extreme weather conditions such as drought and floods, a changing and more variable climate, and the unsustainable use of the natural resources are amongst
complex factors that drive land degradation. This in turn negatively ...

This document describes the goals and objectives of Biometrics and Statistics Section
(BSS), highlights current status and the challenges in the changing agricultural landscape
to sustainably support the livelihood and the ...
Gap in science and practice of land restoration
Urmila Pujari belongs to the Bhumia tribe of eastern state of Orissa in India, a culturally rich and one
of the largest tribes in India. The tribe relies on farming for livelihood, but very few farmers cultivate
pulses ...
Tillage impact on soil erosion by water: Discrepancies due to climate and soil characteristics
No-tillage (NT) is promoted for soil and water conservation, but research
findings on overland
flow and
soil erosion are inconsistent across different ecosystems, with some studies showing no benefits of NT
over conventional ...
Putting Economic and Environmental Sustainability Hand in Hand to Protect Our Lands
Land degradation is an underestimated global concern with far-reaching
implications affecting the ability of land to provide food and incomes. Globally, a
large portion of the vulnerable human populations—the rural poor—live ...
Exploring dryland cereals and legumes for addressing food security: ATLAS DCL CGIAR, Research Program on Dryland Cereals and Legumes Agri-Food Systems
Population growth and climate change threatens the world’s capacity to produce food into the future. Dryland cereal and legume (DCL) crops are
part of any global solution to food security challenges. But these crops are ...
Soil Texture and Cultivar Effects on Rice (Oryza sativa, L.) Grain Yield, Yield Components and Water Productivity in Three Water Regimes
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of water regime/soil condition (continuous
flooding, saturated, and aerobic), cultivar (‘Cocodrie’ and ‘Rondo’), and soil texture
(clay and sandy loam) on rice grain ...
Publication Review: Multifaceted Impacts of Sustainable Land Management in Drylands
Water management practices such as water harvesting yield important environment and socio-economic benefits by reducing environmental risks, improving soil
health and increasing crop yields, particularly in dry areas. ...
No-tillage lessens soil CO2 emissions the most under arid and sandy soil conditions: results from a meta-analysis
The management of agroecosystems plays a crucial
role in the global carbon cycle with soil tillage leading
to known organic carbon redistributions within soils and
changes in soil CO2 emissions. Yet, discrepancies exist ...
