Changements à court terme de la composition des communautés de champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules et des populations de Rhizophagus irregularis en fonction des pratiques culturales
La mycorhize à arbuscule a un important potentiel d’amélioration de la nutrition minérale des plantes, fort utile dans le contexte agricole. Cependant, certaines pratiques culturales sont connues pour avoir un effet néfaste sur la diversité des champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (Glomeromycètes). Il est donc nécessaire de mieux comprendre les dynamiques de leurs communautés et populations pour pouvoir préserver et gérer le potentiel symbiotique. Dans cette étude, nous avons étudié les effets séparés et conjoints du retournement du sol et des fertilisations phosphatée et azotée du sol sur la structure des communautés des Glomeromycètes et sur les populations de l’espèce Rhizophagus irregu…
Soil degradation and its impact on desertification: A research design for Mediterranean environments
Summary Much is said but little is known of the processes and linkages of soil degradation with desertification. With particular emphasis on South-East Spain, a research design is proposed to characterize the processes, their dynamics and effect on productivity. Through detailed monitoring of plot experiments at three slope positions, changes in soil physical and chemical parameters and analyses of runoff and eroded sediments will be related to induced destruction of the vegetation. Knowing the cause and process will lead to the identification of management techniques that may protect vulnerable Mediterranean environments.
Soil carbon, multiple benefits
Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:24:47Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-01-01 In March 2013, 40 leading experts from across the world gathered at a workshop, hosted by the European Commission, Directorate General Joint Research Centre, Italy, to discuss the multiple benefits of soil carbon as part of a Rapid Assessment Process (RAP) project commissioned by Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE). This collaboration led to the publication of the SCOPE Series Volume 71 Soil Carbon: Science, Management and Policy for Multiple Benefits; which brings together the essential scientific evidence and policy opportunities regarding the global importa…
Benefits of soil carbon: report on the outcomes of an international scientific committee on problems of the environment rapid assessment workshop
The outcomes of the discussion in the four working sessions showed that although there is an urgent need to improve soil carbon management and stocks, and despite the existing knowledge about good agricultural practices to achieve this goal, these are not put into practice effectively and globally. The apparent contradiction has to do with a mismatch of policies at different societal and geographical scales, and the low policy profile of SOC. All participants agreed in the need to bring SOC into the core of environmental policies at all levels and to improve the governance of policy actions by addressing the stakeholders in a more effective way.
