Tree water uptake patterns across the globe
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen
Plant water uptake from the soil is a crucial element of the global hydrological cycle and essential for vegetation drought resilience. Yet, knowledge of how the distribution of water uptake depth (WUD) varies across species, climates, and seasons is scarc ...
Wiley2024Community seed network in an era of climate change: dynamics of maize diversity in Yucatán, Mexico
Local seed systems remain the fundamental source of seeds for many crops in developing countries. Climate resilience for small holder farmers continues to depend largely on locally available seeds of traditional crop varieties. High rainfall events can hav ...
2021Valorization of calcium phosphite waste as phosphorus fertilizer: Effects on green manure productivity and soil properties
Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Thomas Guillaume, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Mario Fontana
The potential to use calcium phosphite (Ca-Phi) as phosphorus (P) fertilizer may represent an effective recycling of P-containing by-products. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of Ca-Phi (38 kg P ha(-1)) on soil properties and ...
ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021Species identity, rather than species mixtures, drives cover crop effects on nutrient partitioning in unfertilized agricultural soil
Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Lucas Georges Jean-Paul Freund
Aims Previous cover crop studies mainly focused on the links between plant uptake and soil fertility, and there is a clear knowledge gap regarding the role of microbes in these processes. Our aim was then to better understand the effects of plant mixtures ...
SPRINGER2020Associative interplay of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa QS40) with nitrogen fertilizers improves sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) productivity and fertility of aridisol
Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Muhammad Riaz
The environmental and economic impacts of chemical fertilizer have encouraged farmers to integrate them with organic materials, an important nutrient management strategy for sustainable agriculture production. In the present study, we conducted field exper ...
Elsevier Science Bv2016How a Complete Pesticide Screening Changes the Assessment of Surface Water Quality
A comprehensive assessment of pesticides in surface waters is challenging due to the large number of potential contaminants. Most scientific studies and routine monitoring programs include only 15-40 pesticides, which leads to error-prone interpretations. ...
American Chemical Society2014Effects of different soil amendments on phytoremediation from a cadmium and DDTs co-contaminated soil by Sedum alfredii (Cd hyperaccumulator) co-cropped with Ricinus communis (DDT accumulator)
Soil pollution is a major environmental problem actually in China and in the world. It increases environmental risks and can affect humans through the food chain. Like solutions to clean-up the soils are generally expensive and can have side effects on env ...
2011Water use by Sclerocarya birrea Agroforestry Trees in Sudanian Savanna: Application of Wireless Sensor Networks
Small scale rain fed agriculture is the primary livelihood for a large part of the population of Burkina Faso. Regional climate change means that this population is becoming increasingly vulnerable. Additionally, as natural savanna is converted for agricul ...
2011Restoration of Threatened Arable Weed Communities in Abandoned Mountainous Crop Fields
Charlotte Vandenberghe, François Gillet
Arable fields maintaining species-rich weed communities have almost disappeared from European mountain areas due to their abandonment or replacement by extensive grazing systems during the last decades. The restoration of arable weed communities have becom ...
