Neufeldt, HenryZech, W.Thomas, Richard J.[Introduction: sustainable land management for the oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados]Introduction: sustainable land management for the oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados

Little is known about the sustainability of cultivation systems in the Brazilian savannas, also known as the Cerrados, despite its increasing significance for that country`s agriculture. To characterize management effects and follow alterations of organic compounds in different fractions, we stud...


Neufeldt, HenryResck, DVSAyarza, Miguel AngelZech, W.[Soil organic matter in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados]Soil organic matter in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados

The effects of land-use change on the structure of Oxisols in the Brazilian savannas (also known as the Cerrados) are still insufficiently understood. We therefore studied loamy and clayey Oxisols under natural savanna, crop, pasture, and reforestation to (1) quantify management-induced changes i...


Neufeldt, HenryAyarza, Miguel AngelResck, DVSZech, W.[Distribution of water-stable aggregates and aggregating agents in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados]Distribution of water-stable aggregates and aggregating agents in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados

This document describes a monitoring instrument for efficiently tracking changes in resilience in agricultural initiatives. Operationalizing the concept of resilience (i.e. the ability to withstand change, stresses and shocks) poses significant challenges for project managers, particularly when r...

This document reports on the concepts driving the scientific activities of FAO’s Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture Programme’s (MICCA) pilot projects in East Africa. It provides results from the research, briefly describes the analytical approaches used and concludes with key messages r...


Rosenstock, Todd S.Mpanda, MathewRioux, J.Kirui, JosephineAnyekulu SLuedeling, EikeKuyah SKimaro, Anthony A.Franzel, StevenNeufeldt, HenryShepherd KNeely, Constance[Science to support climate-smart agricultural development]Science to support climate-smart agricultural development

Differently managed oxisols from Central Brazil were studied using a sequential P fractionation procedure because the effects of land use on the distribution of P forms in these soils are barely known. Therefore levels of labile and recalcitrant P forms in the natural Cerrado savanna were compare...


Neufeldt, HenrySilva, J.E. daAyarza, Miguel AngelZech, W.[Land-use effects on phosphorus fractions in cerrado oxisols]Land-use effects on phosphorus fractions in cerrado oxisols

Agroforestry systems and tree cover on agricultural land make an important contribution to climate change mitigation, but are not systematically accounted for in either global carbon budgets or national carbon accounting. This paper assesses the role of trees on agricultural land and their signif...


Zomer, Robert J.Neufeldt, HenryXu, JianchuAhrends, AntjeBossio, Deborah A.Trabucco, AntonioNoordwijk, Meine vanWang, Mingcheng[Global tree cover and biomass carbon on agricultural land: The contribution of agroforestry to global and national carbon budgets]Global tree cover and biomass carbon on agricultural land: The contribution of agroforestry to global and national carbon budgets

Biocarbon projects can connect climate finance to smallholder farmers and can provide considerable benefits to improved productivity, land health and income, market access, institutional stability and, ultimately, food security and reduced poverty for asset-poor rural communities. While most bioc...

Establishing parkland agroforestry on currently treeless cropland in the West African Sahel may help mitigate climate change. To evaluate its potential, we used climatically suitable ranges for parklands for 19 climate scenarios, derived by ecological niche modeling, for estimating potential carb...


Luedeling, EikeNeufeldt, Henry[Carbon sequestration potential of parkland agroforestry in the Sahel]Carbon sequestration potential of parkland agroforestry in the Sahel

Plant production in the Brazilian savannas, also known as the Cerrados, is limited mainly by low P availability. In tropical soils, rich in sesquioxides, P supply of plants depends heavily on the transformation of organic P by phosphatase enzymes into HPO 4 2- and H 2 PO 4-. We examined two Oxiso...
