Recent studies show that carbon
sequestered by trees on agricultural
land is not well accounted for. If it was,
researchers argue in a new study: “Global
Tree Cover and Biomass Carbon on
Agricultural Land: The contribution
of agroforestry to global and national
carbon budgets,” total carbon estim...

Big win: Trees on agricultural land sink four times more carbon
The importance of cassava relative to other crops in the cropping system was almost total; cassava was present in 70% of arable fields; maize and beans or peas were each present in 13% of arable fields and all other crops were present in 4%. Cassava was produced mostly for sale, yet it was not as...

Research in 1973 attributed large cassava root yield differences among three villages in southeast Nigeria to equally large population density differences. In 1993, the Nigerian national team of the Collaborative Study of Cassava in Africa (COSCA) went back to the three villages to see whether po...

Sampling and analysis or visual examination of soil to assess its status and use potential is widely practiced from plot to national scales. However, the choice of relevant soil attributes and interpretation of measurements are not straightforward, because of the complexity and site-specificity o...
