Abstract:
Abstract:Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are an important biotic factor that influences tropical ecological succession and differently affect the woody species belonging to different successional stages. However, little is known about the influence of AMF on growth and reproduction of herbaceous and shrubby species of early phases of tropical succession. Thus, we assessed the effect of AMF on the development of 27 heliophilous herbaceous and shrubby tropical species. Plants were grown in greenhouse, in low- and high-fertility soils, with or without AMF, for 100 d. Most species grown with AM

Abstract:
Soil organic matter (SOM) plays a central role in maintaining tropical soil fertility. Its conservation and maintenance in tropical cultivation systems is imperative if soil degradation is to be halted and cropping made sustainable. Around 22-23% of global carbon is present in tropical ecosystems but only 2-3% of this is present in the soil. Fluxes of CO2 to the atmosphere from tropical soils after deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect and could represent a 1-4% increase in the overall steady-state annual CO2 release to the atmosphere. The composition of SOM is extremely diverse,

Abstract:
This paper discusses the effects of trees on soil fertility, with a focus on agricultural systems in Amazonia. Relevant literature concerning the effects of trees on soil physical and chemical properties in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions is reviewed, covering both natural ecosystems and agroecosystems. Soil carbon, in the form of organic matter, is considered as an indicator of biological activity as well as in relation to policy issues such as carbon sequestration and climate change. In the case of tropical soils and Amazonia, information on the effects of trees on soils is disc

Abstract:
We aimed to study relationships between plant biodiversity and soil chemical fertility in a mature tropical forest of Costa Rica. Soil samples were collected in nine sampling plots (5 m by 25 m) in order to identify P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, and Al and total N contents, soil fertility index, CEC, pH, and C/N ratio. Furthermore, species richness, Shannon-Wiener and Simpson’s species diversities, structural richness, and structural diversity were calculated for each plot. Simple linear regression analyses were conducted. Tree species richness was inversely related to concentration levels of

Abstract:
Ten two hectare forest plots were established on two distinct reserves, one mainly on volcanic deposits and the other on sedimentary and alluvial soils. These were investigated for their site carrying capacity and species diversity in relation to edaphic factors, using accumulated basal area as the growth indicator. A soil survey was conducted in each reserve to classify the soil types at the series level. Five two hectare sites each reflecting different soil types were chosen from each reserve. All trees of 10 cm dbh and over were enumerated on each soil type and identified to species level.

Abstract:
Phosphorus (P) is essential to life on Earth and often the limiting nutrient in agricultural systems. P fertilizer is thus an essential resource to maintain food security. In the last half century, agricultural intensification has led to an increase in P fertilizer consumption from 4.6 to 17.5 Tg of P/year to meet rising global food demand. Mineral P (i.e., phosphate rock) is a non-renewable resource in the context of the Anthropocene, and its price is vulnerable to global market fluctuations. Increased efficiency of P use on farms is considered the most effective strategy to conserve P. The s

The thesis was conducted to investigate soil fertility changes and assess the sustainability of agroecological management in different land-use systems of the southern Ecuadorian Andes using quantitative and qualitative methods. Ecuador still holds the highest deforestation rate of all Latin American countries which also has a large impact in the research area by forest conversion into agricultural land. Agricultural land-use systems in the research area are multifaceted due to heterogeneous biophysical and socio-economic conditions. To map this diversity, land-use systems were investigated in
