The complexity of risks posed by climate change and possible adaptations for crop production has called for integrated assessment and modelling (IAM) approaches linking biophysical and economic models. This paper attempts to provide an overview of the present state of crop modelling to assess climate change risks to food production and to which ext...

Background and aimsLitter decomposition is regulated by e.g. substrate quality and environmental factors, particularly water availability. The partitioning of nutrients released from litter between vegetation and soil microorganisms may, therefore, be affected by changing climate. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of litter type and drought ...
In tropical regions, earthworm casts can be globular or granular, depending on the earthworm species that produced them. Although the effects of globular casts on soil erosion have been extensively studied, less is known regarding the effects of granular casts. This study aimed to investigate how granular casts produced by Metaphire posthuma affect...

Direct seeding into mulch (DSM) is a cropping system that is increasingly used in the world. The major concern among producers is the possible yield penalties associated with DSM compared to conventional tillage (CT). The aim of our study was to assess the effects of DSM on the yields of corn, sorghum and durum wheat, as well as water use efficienc...
