Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions comprise the major share of agriculture's contribution to greenhouse gases; however, our understanding what is actually happening in field remains incomplete, especially concerning multiple interactions between agricultural practices and N O emissions. Soil compaction induces changes soil structure key variables controlling Our objective was analyse ability a process‐based model (Nitrous Oxide Emissions (NOE)) simulate impact on emission kinetics obtained from...

Abstract To promote greater sustainability in agriculture, development of agroecology is increasingly being invoked. What are the conditions for establishing agroecological production tropical regions? Based upon case studies several areas, we provide here some answers to this question. We review “pillars” (i.e. principles) and “implementation levers” (i.e., tools) agroecology. identify three main pillars: (1) mobilization management ecological processes sustainable resilience...

The remote sensing community benefits from new sensors and easier access to Earth Observation data frequently released land-cover maps. propagation of such independent heterogeneous products offers promising perspectives for various scientific domains the implementation monitoring land-use policies. Yet, it may also confuse end-users when comes identifying most appropriate product address their requirements. Data fusion methods can help combine competing and/or complementary maps in order...

Palm oil is nowadays the first vegetable consumed worldwide. Given world population growth and increasing demand in fat for food fuel, increase palm production expected to continue. It thus important find ways of reducing ecological impact plantations at both agroecosystem mill supply area levels, by improving agricultural practices land uses. This where agroecology can play a very critical role. The present article gathers short stories on agroecological currently taking place South-East...

The rise of palm oil as the world's most consumed vegetable has coincided with exponential growth in research activity. Bibliometric analysis outputs reveals a distinct imbalance type being undertaken, notably disproportionate focus on biofuel and engineering topics. Recognising expansion agriculture across tropics increasing awareness environmental, social economic impacts, we seek to re-orient existing agenda towards one that addresses fundamental urgent questions defined by stakeholder...

Abstract. Oil palm is the most rapidly expanding tropical perennial crop. Its cultivation raises environmental concerns, notably related to use of nitrogen (N) fertilisers and associated pollution greenhouse gas emissions. While numerous diverse models exist estimate N losses from agriculture, very few are currently available for crops. Moreover, there a lack critical analysis their performance in specific context cropping systems. We assessed capacity 11 29 sub-models typical oil plantation...

Oil palm cultivation has drastically increased in the last decades and become a key crop to meet global vegetable oil demand, while raising environmental issues linked deforestation, fertiliser or pesticide uses. Guidelines on best practices have been developed limit these impacts. However, there is little evidence field reality of concrete declination general guidelines room for improvement light local diversity systems. This study aimed investigate actual two contrasted areas Indonesia,...
