Tackling Malawi's Hidden Hunger through Selenium and Iodine biofortification to green vegetables and conservation agriculture (CA) field crops Introduction In sub-Saharan Africa, micronutrient deficiencies are common in poor and rural areas, due to over-farmed, depleted soils and restricted diets. In Malawi, three-quarters of the population are selenium-deficient, which can lead to weakened ...
The size and seriousness of a wildfire relies on three things: topography, weather, and vegetation. As humans, we can’t necessarily change the topography of the area, and the weather is out of our control. But the arrangement and density of the vegetation can be carefully controlled and monitored. What Is Biomass ...
Two methods, burning and glyphosate application, were used to control existing vegetation before seeding annual forages. Three levels of N (0, 50, and 100 kg ha–1) were applied to each sequence of crops on two occasions for a total of 0, 100, and 200 kg ha–1 yr–1. ...
It can also be applied to prevent food losses after harvesting, to delay the ripening and ageing of fruits and vegetables, to control sprouting and germination, and to extend the shelf life of perishable foods. ...
Abstract Variation of plant species cover on a Sphagnum-dominated mire in the south-eastern Alps of Italy was assessed over a 10-year period in relation to depth to the water table, peat accumulation rate, and climate. Population dynamics of vascular species appeared to be primarily affected by the autogenic process of peat accumulation, which determined the lowering of water-table position at ...
The nature of morphological variability for vegetative traits appeared environmentally controlled. The differentiation of leaf and stipular spine expression seems to have an adaptive significance for the species in terms of water economy. Although, seed and pod characteristics are genetically controlled showing a lower proportion of variability ...
The early studies about the plant ecology of Doñana carried out at a small scale showed that the main process controlling vegetation composition of the stabilized dunes was soil water availability. However, the extrapolation of this model to larger spatial scales failed to explain observed vegetation patterns. In this work, the ...
