Resumen: En las últimas décadas, la creciente demanda de alimentos, asociada al aumento demográfico conllevó a la transformación de áreas boscosas o ecosistemas naturales en tierras de producción agropecuaria. El uso de índices de calidad de suelo permite mejor comprensión del nivel de degradación o mejoría que puede tener el suelo bajo diferentes ...
Resumen Una estrategia para evaluar suelos es mediante índices de calidad que dependen de indicadores específicos sobre los suelos muestreados, el tipo de cultivo y el manejo realizado. Los indicadores son variables físicas, químicas o biológicas medibles, que afectan la capacidad del suelo al ejercer una o varias de sus funciones. El objetivo de e...
This article investigates the relationships between soil characteristics (physical and chemical) and wood properties of Persian oak in three different elevation sites. For this purpose, 27 trees were randomly chosen and cut in Zagros forests in western Iran. The test samples were prepared at the stem (breast height) to examine physical and biometri...
Due to the high worldwide rate of soil degradation, it is necessary to look for agricultural practices that promote soil conservation. Objective. To assess the tractor axle load balancing dedicated to tillage, through different counterweights distributions, to improve the physical, mechanical, and hydraulic properties of a vertisol and the efficien...
One strategy for evaluating soils is through quality indices that depend on specific indicators onthe soils sampled, the type of crop and the management carried out. Indicators are measurablephysical, chemical or biological variables that affect the capacity of the soil as they perform oneor more of its functions. The objective of this research was...
Resumen: Para mitigar la deforestación en México, se han establecido plantaciones forestales comerciales (PFC) con especies nativas e introducidas. El objetivo fue realizar el diagnóstico del crecimiento, incremento y las características del suelo de plantaciones comerciales de teca (Tectona grandis L. f.), establecidas en el trópico seco del estad...
We start with key highlights. We then present the soils as influenced by management practices followed by influences to overall microbes. Effects on specific functional groups including zinc and phosphorus solubilization follows before a presentation of how these relate with the soil properties. This is followed by a section on enzyme activities an...
Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) of Brachiaria humidicola has been attributed to nitrification-inhibiting fusicoccanes, most prominently 3-epi-brachialactone. However, its release mechanism from B. humidicola roots remains elusive. Two hydroponic experiments were performed to investigate the role of rhizosphere pH and nutritional N form in...
