- Abstract:
- ... Many people believe that animal agriculture should be phased out and replaced with vegetarian substitutes. The livestock industry has also been attacked because it uses vast amounts of land. People forget that grazing cattle or sheep can be raised on land that is either too arid or too rough for raising crops. At least 20% of the habitable land on Earth is not suitable for crops. Rotational grazin ...

- Abstract:
- ... Worldwide food security is a pressing concern as population increases. Thus, there is a need to increase food production on existing farmland while improving soil health and water quality. We report the effect of two conservation practices, flue‐gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum (hereafter “gypsum”) soil amendment and cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop, on soil chemistry. Emphasis was placed ...

- Abstract:
- ... Rapidly increasing population and rising food demand necessitates expansion of agricultural mainland. However, with accelerated urbanization, agricultural land resources are difficult to expand. The riverine sandbars offer a vast fertile terrain that is conducive to agricultural food production and could support the global food demands despite urbanization. Nevertheless, hydroclimatic factors like ...

NLES5 is the fifth version of an empirical model for predicting annual nitrate leaching from the root zone (1-meter depth), accounting for effects of nitrogen (N) inputs, crop sequences, autumn and winter crop cover, soil types, and weather conditions. It was developed and calibrated based on a comprehensive nitrate leaching dataset, primarily from Denmark. The model is used for quantifying annual ...

- Abstract:
- ... Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) can be an alternative to increase the productivity of agroecosystems by enhancing nutrient cycling via grazing animals. Despite the holistic approach that bears the designing of ICLS, fertilization practices are proceeded in a conventional crop basis, disregarding nutrient fluxes at the appropriate spatial and temporal dynamics. We argue that fertilization ...

To improve sustainability in agricultural systems, winter cover crops are increasingly replacing fallow to stimulate soil functions that reduce nutrient losses and greenhouse gas production, reduce pests for the next cash crops, increase soil organic matter pools and reduce erosion. Several of these functions are highly dependent on soil microbes decomposing cover crop residues. Since cover crop s ...
