The resistance and resilience of soil microbial communities to an environmental disturbance are poorly documented, due the lack on onfield diachronic experiments, limiting our ability design adapted agroecological practices. This is especially true in rubber plantations, one most planted tree tropical areas. We aimed understand (1) how disturbances occurring during replanting phase affect microbiome, (2) agricultural practices combining legumes cover crops logging residues shape community...
Oil palm smallholders often have difficulty implementing good agricultural practices and replanting, tend to obtain low yields compared corporate plantations. A frequent strategy improve the sustainability of smallholder production systems is sustainable intensification, aimed at increasing land productivity farmers' incomes. To facilitate many leading public private initiatives require farmers join farmer organisations as a precondition for certification assistance, with objective achieving...
Abstract Rubber plantations have rapidly replaced natural forests (NFs) in Mainland Southeast Asia, yet the relevant impacts on terrestrial carbon cycle remain uncertain especially with an increase drought frequency. Our study compared eddy‐covariance measurements of and water fluxes from two rubber monoculture (at a northern marginal site southern traditional plantation site) second‐growth NF between 2015 2018, their responses to prolonged during 2015/2016. The had higher light use...
SUMMARY Fertilization of rubber plantations has been poorly documented despite the huge economic and ecological impact this tropical perennial crop, especially in Southeast Asia. The main objective paper is to provide information on fertilization practices smallholders Thailand investigate drivers these practices. Data were sourced from individual interviews conducted with 414 smallholders. results showed that 99.4% mature fertilized either chemical or organic fertilizers, both. average dose...
Fine roots (FR) play a major role in the water and nutrient uptake of plants contribute significantly to carbon cycles ecosystems through their annual production turnover. FR growth dynamics were studied understand endogenous exogenous factors driving these processes 14 year-old plantation rubber trees located eastern Thailand. observed using field rhizotrons from Oct. 2007 2009. This period covered two complete dry seasons (Nov.-Mar.) rainy (Apr.-Oct.), allowing us study effect rainfall...
Climate change and fast extension in climatically suboptimal areas threaten the sustainability of rubber tree cultivation. A simple framework based on reduction factors potential transpiration was tested to evaluate water constraints seasonal tropical sub-humid climates, according pedoclimatic conditions. We selected a representative, mature stand drought-prone area. Tree transpiration, evaporative demand soil availability were measured every day over 15 months. The results showed that basic...
Abstract Rubber tree plantations ( Hevea brasiliensis ) cover large areas in the tropics. In historical producing regions like South Thailand, rubber has been planted by smallholders for three successive rotations lasting a total of 75 years. Despite possible consequences on topsoil, long‐term impacts repeated soil quality remain unknown. This study aims to better understand how various factors linked land use and change affect topsoil physico‐chemical properties organic carbon (SOC) thermal...
Selection for drought-tolerant clones has become a major challenge in rubber breeding programs undertaken to ensure the sustainability of natural production, as plantations are expanding drought-prone areas. Xylem vulnerability cavitation is trait related drought-induced mortality. It can be rapidly evaluated without subjecting plant materials drought stress, making it useful large-scale screening tolerance near future. We first compared most widely used techniques measuring (air...
Latex, the cytoplasm of laticiferous cells localized in inner bark rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.), is collected by tapping bark. Following tapping, latex flows out trunk and regenerated, whereas untapped trees, there no natural exudation. It still unknown whether carbohydrates used for regeneration tapped coming from recent photosynthates or stored carbohydrates, former case, it expected that carbon isotope composition will vary seasonally, be more stable. Temporal variations...
This study investigates spatial-temporal trends in N2O emissions from coffee production systems Costa Rica with a focus on the effects of nitrogen fertilisation, topography and soil type. is done by combining (i) multi-year continuous dynamic chamber measurements sites different fertilisation levels, (ii) static taken along typical sloping field (iii) laboratory incubation experiment nutrient addition to types. In laboratory, additions included standard NPK fertiliser, ammonium nitrate...
