Journal ArticleDOI
Does thinning affect litterfall, litter decomposition, and associated nutrient release in Acacia mangium stands of Kerala in peninsular India?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of various types of agricultural interventions on the nutrient cycling of plantations and agroforests, and found that these interventions can alter litter production and decay rates, thereby varying nutrient fluxes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bamboo based agroforestry systems in Kerala, India: performance of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) in the subcanopy of differentially spaced seven year-old bamboo stand
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of turmeric as an understorey crop in 7-year old bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees) stands of varying spacing treatments (4,×,4, 6,×-6, 8,×_8, 10,×−10 and 12,× 12m) at Kerala Agricultural University Campus, Thrissur, Kerala, India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural land-use change in Kerala, India : perspectives from above and below the canopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ mixed methods, including remote sensing, quantitative household surveys, and semi-structured interviews, to unravel the complex land-cover and land-use changes occurring in Kerala.
Journal ArticleDOI
High density silvopasture systems for quality forage production and carbon sequestration in humid tropics of Southern India
TL;DR: 2-tier HN + mulberry system with tree density of 11,111 trees ha−1 was found to be the most promising system for meeting both farmer needs and environmental services and can meet half of the carbon emission standards of India’s INDC commitment over a period of 10 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coarse root biomass, carbon, and nutrient stock dynamics of different stem and crown classes of silver oak ( Grevillea robusta A. Cunn. ex. R. Br.) plantation in Central Kerala, India
TL;DR: Deep rooted G. robusta trees (>1.0 m) thus have the potential to enrich lower layers of the soil profile through plant cycling of nutrients, which is important for on-site nutrient conservation and resource sharing with associated field crops.
