TL;DR: In this article, Nitrous oxide emissions from a network of agri- cultural experiments in Europe were used to explore the rel- ative importance of site and management controls of emis- sions.
Abstract: Nitrous oxide emissions from a network of agri- cultural experiments in Europe were used to explore the rel- ative importance of site and management controls of emis- sions. At each site, a selection of management interventions were compared within replicated experimental designs in plot-based experiments. Arable experiments were conducted at Beano in Italy, El Encin in Spain, Foulum in Denmark, Log˚ arden in Sweden, Maulde in Belgium, Paulinenaue in Germany, and Tulloch in the UK. Grassland experiments were conducted at Crichton, Nafferton and Peaknaze in the UK, G¨¨ ¨ o in Hungary, Rzecin in Poland, Zarnekow in Germany and Theix in France. Nitrous oxide emissions were measured at each site over a period of at least two years us- ing static chambers. Emissions varied widely between sites

TL;DR: In this paper, the diversity of carbon-and nutrient-containing metabolites produced in forests has been studied and found to be 100 × greater than those in unicellular organisms, due to a greater allocation of carbon to structural material; a greater element storage within biomass; and a greater diversity in carbon and nutrients containing metabolites.
Abstract: Element interactions within forests differ from those in other major ecosystems for three major reasons: — a greater allocation of carbon to structural material; — a greater element storage within biomass; and — the diversity of carbon- and nutrient-containing metabolites produced. The most important of these differences is structural material, which can lead to C: element ratios in biomass (as a whole) 100 × greater than those in unicellular organisms. Stand allometry causes the amount of carbon stored and C:element ratios in biomass to change in predictable ways in the course of secondary succession. Such changes affect microbial dynamics and C: element interactions within soils. Bicarbonate, organic acids, nitrate, phosphate, and sulfate are major anions within forest soils: they control leaching of both anions and cations. Biotic interactions of C, N, P, and S during both uptake and mineralization control the potential for production of these anions within forests, and geochemical interactions regulate their mobility and loss.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on two hegemonic policy models of agricultural intensification: the "Alvord model" of plough-based, integrated crop-livestock farming promoted in colonial Zimbabwe; and the minimum-tillage mulch-based conservation agriculture, as currently preached by a wide range of international agricultural research and development agencies.
Abstract: Agricultural intensification, or increasing yield, has been a persistent theme in policy interventions in African smallholder agriculture. This article focuses on two hegemonic policy models of such intensification: (1) the ‘Alvord model’ of plough-based, integrated crop-livestock farming promoted in colonial Zimbabwe; and (2) minimum-tillage mulch-based, Conservation Agriculture, as currently preached by a wide range of international agricultural research and development agencies. An analysis of smallholder farming practices in Zimbabwe's Zambezi Valley, reveals the limited inherent understanding of farmer practices in these models. It shows why many smallholder farmers in southern Africa are predisposed towards extensification rather than intensification, and suggests that widespread Conservation Agriculture adoption is unlikely.
