Abstract:
... A persistent problem in the dominant agricultural development model is the imposition of technologies without regard to local processes and cultures. Even with the recent shift towards sustainability and agroecology, initiatives continue to overlook local knowledge. In this article we provide analysis of agroecological soil management in the Maya-Achi territory of Guatemala. The Achí, subject to f ...

Abstract:
... Low-carbon crop production can mitigate global warming. Carbon-emission efficiency of crop production, which reflects the gap between actual and ideal emissions under local conditions, has garnered considerable attention. Nevertheless, the designs, indicator systems, and approach selection of past studies have limitations. To overcome these limitations, we developed a theoretical model for the car ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Legume plants can establish symbiotic interactions with rhizobia to form nodules, in which atmosphere dinitrogen (N) is reduced to ammonium (NH) as a nitrogen (N) source for legume plants. This process is called biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). It is widely believed that BNF in legumes is phosphorus (P)-demanding and might be limited by P availability. SCOPE: Here, we first discuss ...

Abstract:
... Precision Agriculture (PA) commonly uses interpolation to generate maps for site-specific management. Semivariogram modeling with kriging interpolation considerers several parameters such as trend and anisotropy, which require proper estimation to return reliable maps. Often present in agricultural fields, these directional effects can also account for machine traffic and crop/soil management. Des ...

Abstract:
... Soil classification is based on both the properties of the soil material and the pedogenetic pathways responsible for those properties. Because soil properties are linked to soil function and potential, information on soil classification has formed the basis for empirical interpretations of mapping units in terms of limitations or suitabilities for a wide range of land uses. In this way, a soil ty ...
