TL;DR: In this article, a lowland-based rice-production technology was proposed to cope with the situation of land degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa, with emphasis on soil erosion and its effect on soil quality and productivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of coffee grounds in crop fields was evaluated in terms of crop growth enhancement, soil improvement, and weed control during four successive cropping seasons for two years.

TL;DR: In this article, the changes in water stable aggregates (WSA) and soil carbon (C) at a site in Akame, Mie, Japan, operating a no-tillage with weed mulch management (NWM) system over a chronosequence from 0 to 17 years after conversion from conventional tillage practices (0, 5, 10, 15, and 17 years).

TL;DR: A phenomenon that strengthens the flood tolerance of upland crops when two species-one wetland and one drought tolerant-were grown using the mixed cropping technique that results in close tangling of their root systems, a new concept that has the potential to overcome flood stress under variable environmental conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of termite mound-building termites on soil particle dynamics on the land surface and in soil-forming processes by examining the amount of soil particles in mound structures of Macrotermes bellicosus in a highly weathered Ultisol of tropical savanna was investigated.
