Conflicting demands for food and water, exacerbated by increasing population, increase the risks of food insecurity, poverty and environmental damage in major river systems. Agriculture remains the predominant water user, but the linkage between water, agriculture and livelihoods is more complex ...

In 1998, Fisher et al. attempted to draw together published and anecdotal information to answer some of the questions raised by the findings of Fisher et al. (1994; 1995), that introduced pastures of African grasses on the eastern plains of Colombia accumulated large amounts of C in the soil. Thi...

Data were collected by a simulation model to estimate yield changes due to climate change in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. We analysed the simulated yield changes to spatially classify high-impact spots of climate change across the four countries. We identified hot spots, adapta...

The structure and seasonal changes of earthworm communities were evaluated in a natural savanna and in a improved grass-legume pasture in a Colombian oxisol over a period of 18 months. One plot of 90×90 m was isolated in each of the systems and each month five samples of 1 m2×0.5 m and ten of 20×...

Arachis pintoi is a valuable forage legume for tropical savannas, persisting with vigorous tropical grasses under widely differing management systems. However, seed is expensive, so that vegetative planting is an option, particularly for small farmers. We studied the growth and development of A. ...
