Putting the rise of the Inca Empire within a climatic and land management context
The rapid expansion of the Inca from the Cuzco area of highland Peru (ca. AD 14001532) produced the largest empire in the New World. Although this meteoric growth may in part be due to the adoption of innovative societal strategies, supported by a large labour force and a standing army, we argue that it would not have been possible without increase...
Modification of P availability by endogenic earthworms (Glossoscolecidae) in Ferralsols of the Malagasy Highlands
Low phosphorus (P) availability in Ferralsols of the Malagasy Highlands is a major limitation to crop growth. Direct seeding mulch-based cropping practices which were adopted in the region to improve and sustain soil fertility are known to favour earthworms' presence. The mesocosm study aims to analyse the effect of an endogeic geophageous earthwor...
