Trait-based approach for agroecology: contribution of service crop root traits to explain soil aggregate stability in vineyards

The treatments were: (i) conventional 1Iliage (CT): soil cultivation + disking (twice) at plantation, and soil cultivation (ollowed by incorporated fertilization; (ii) minimum

First, although the positive correlation we obtained be- tween prepulse-elicited reactivity (4 –16 dB above back- ground) and PPI magnitude in mice was opposite to the

The high contrast between crops as regard to soil structure and root distribution is likely to affect both the long term production and environmental impacts of

• In Chapter 5, we present a framework that simplifies and extends the formulation of posture generation problems by formulating and solving the optimization problem over

The nitrogen yield in the above-ground biomass was higher for both crops in there pure stands, but for wheat a higher nitrogen yield could also be obtained in intercrops (due to

To a person relatively unfamiliar with the field it provides a neat, curt insight into the historicaI aspects, different methods of training both on-the-job and

The issues of lodging and bruchid damage in lentil were analysed by adapting the “yield gap” concept which identifies and quantifies “limiting” and “reducing”

 Gravimetric soil water measured weekly from sowing to 40 days after sowing (DAS) in 0-15 cm soil depth..  Root distribution, shoot dry matter (SDM) and crop nitrogen (N)
