Cobo Borrero, Juan G.Dercon, G.Delve, Robert J.Cadisch, Georg[Assessing the variability of soil quality and crop productivity at different spatial scales in three settlement schemes in NE Zimbabwe by integrating mid-infrared spectroscopy and geostatistical tools]Assessing the variability of soil quality and crop productivity at different spatial scales in three settlement schemes in NE Zimbabwe by integrating mid-infrared spectroscopy and geostatistical tools

To better understand the complex mechanisms of action of earthworms on plants, we set up an experimental system using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh, Aporrectodea caliginosa a common temperate earthworm and two types of soil with contrasted contents in organic matter and nutrient...


Jana, UBarot, SBlouin, ManuelLavelle, Patrick M.Laffray, DRepellin, A[Earthworms influence the production of above- and belowground biomass and the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana]Earthworms influence the production of above- and belowground biomass and the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana

In this study, the impact of forest disturbance on earthworm assemblages was assessed using monoliths dug out at 5 m intervals along a gradient of land-use intensification. The land-use types comprised primary forest (as a baseline), secondary forest, tree plantation, fallow, perennial and annual...


Tondoh, Jérôme E.Guei, AMCsyzdum, COkoth, Peter F.[Effect of land-use on the earthworm assemblages in semi-deciduous forests of Central-West Ivory Coast]Effect of land-use on the earthworm assemblages in semi-deciduous forests of Central-West Ivory Coast

Data on earthworm surface cast deposition in undisturbed, cropped and recovering sites from West and Central Africa were compiled to assess the effects of land use system (LUS) change and if casting can be used to indicate soil quality. Annual cast deposition in undisturbed systems was significan...


Hauser, S.Norgrove, L.Asawalam, D.Schulz, S.[Effect of land use change, cropping systems and soil type on earthworm cast production in West and Central Africa]Effect of land use change, cropping systems and soil type on earthworm cast production in West and Central Africa

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...


Bünemann, Else K.Bongiorno, GiuliaBai, ZhanguoCreamer, Rachel E.Deyn, Gerlinde deGoede, Ron G.M. deFleskens, LuukGeissen, VioletteKuyper, Thomas W.Mäder, PaulPulleman, MirjamSukkel, WijnandGroenigen, Jan Willem vanBrussaard, Lijbert[Soil quality – A critical review]Soil quality – A critical review

We report on an attempt to distinguish cropped from fallowed land and young from old fallow by the rate of decomposition of a standard material, to contribute towards the development of simple, yet reliable indicators of soil quality and agricultural sustainability on tropical soils. In three sou...


Hauser, S.Gang, E.Norgrove, L.Birang, M.[Decomposition of plant material as an indicator of ecosystem disturbance in tropical land use systems]Decomposition of plant material as an indicator of ecosystem disturbance in tropical land use systems

A water and soil quality baseline study was carried out across the ~ 4500 km2 Vientiane Plain in Lao PDR. Eight water quality and nine soil parameters were analysed using field kits at 95 sites in March 2015. Elevated electrical conductivity and chloride were apparent at two sites due to geogenic...
