Earthworm and termite diversity were studied in 12 long-term agricultural field trials across the sub-humid to semi-arid tropical zones of Eastern and Western Africa. In each trial, treatments with high and low soil organic C were chosen to represent contrasts in long-term soil management effects...

De nombreux pays en Afrique ont intégré l’utilisation des engrais, la gestion de la fertilité des sols et les intrants agricoles dans leurs contributions déterminées au niveau national à l’Accord sur le climat de Paris. Bien que les engrais azotés (N) contribuent dans une large mesure aux émissi...
