Managing climatic risks to combat land degradation and enhance food security: key information needs
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...

La agricultura de Costa Rica y el cambio climático: ¿Dónde están las prioridades para la adaptación?
El aumento de la temperatura media anual y la disminución de la precipitación que se prevén para el año 2030, debido a efectos del cambio climático, tendrán impactos significativos en la agricultura de todo el país.
En consecuencia, es probable que las áreas aptas para los cultivos que sustentan...
