Soil fertility management in sub-Saharan Africa
Across the world, soil organic carbon (SOC) is decreasing due to changes in land use such as the conversion of natural systems to food or bioenergy production systems. The losses of SOC have impacted crop productivity and other ecosystem services adversely. One of the grand challenges for society...

Soil carbon: a critical natural resource widescale goals, urgent actions
Crop response, tree biomass production and changes in soil fertility characteristics were monitored in a long-term (1986–2006) alley-cropping trial in Ibadan, Nigeria. The systems included two alley cropping systems with Leucaena leucocephala and Senna siamea on the one hand and a control (no-tre...
