Life in the soil : from taxonomy to ecological integration / Soils as a key component of the critical zone 6 : ecology
The rapid expansion of perennial crops is a major threat to biodiversity in Southeast Asia. The biodiversity losses related to the conversion of forest lands to oil palm or rubber plantations (RP) are well documented by recent studies. However, the impact of the conversion from intensively managed annual crops to perennial crops on soil biodiversit...

Soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC), β-glucosidase, acid phosphatase and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) activities and bacterial community structure were assessed in a long-term (26 years) experiment, at physiological stages of sorghum growth, comparing different management methods for organic (manure, straw residues) and inorganic (urea) amendments a...
L'optimisation de la production agricole a longtemps été le seul but de la recherche agricole, notamment dans les pays du sud où la demande en aliments et en matières premières augmente rapidement et où les sols souvent dégradés fournissent peu d'éléments nutritifs. La nécessité d'un changement de paradigme est maintenant pleinement acquise. L'obje...
L'initiative internationale "4 pour 1 000" a pour ambition de soutenir États et acteurs non gouvernementaux dans leurs efforts vers une meilleure gestion des stocks de carbone (C) des sols. Ces stocks dépendent des entrées et sorties de C dans les sols. Ils sont la consé¬quence de mécanismes interconnectés, agissant à une échelle spatiale fine, qui...
