A large area of the terrestrial land surface is used for livestock grazing. Trees on grazing lands provide and can enhance multiple ecosystem services such as provisioning, cultural regulating, that include carbon sequestration. In this study, we assessed above- belowground stocks across six different land-uses in livestock-dominated landscapes Mexico. We measured tree biomass soil organic (SOC) fodder banks, live fences, pasturelands with dispersed trees, secondary forests, primary forests...
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Silvopastoral systems, agroforestry with grazing livestock, have a high capacity for carbon sequestration in tree biomass and enhance biological diversity grasslands, contributing to counteract the negative effects of deforestation led by expansion open pasturelands. <strong>Objective:</strong> To assess structure, species diversity, storage components three different silvopastoral systems (SPS): 1) scattered trees pasture (STP),...
Solanum lycopersicum L. is a vegetable of daily consumption in our national population. It native to America and has been widely adopted cultivated many regions the world under various production systems. Currently, it preferred when grown without agrochemicals for this purpose, sustainable processes that favor productivity are required. An alternative use soil microorganisms establish symbiosis roots crops their nutrition. In study, effect application two beneficial microorganisms,...
Abstract Owing to the increasing extension of land for livestock production, silvopastoral practices have been among promising approaches enhance carbon (C) sequestration. However, extent C sequestration in different systems (SPS) and their relationship with fine root production (FRP) is not well understood. The objective this research was evaluate changes storage, FRP, turnover a part tropical SPS. We evaluated above‐ belowground FRP live fences (LF), dispersed tree (DT) silvopasture,...
Abstract Silvopastoral systems have great potential for storing carbon because of assimilation in tree woody biomass, input through litterfall and below‐ground turnover. In this study, we quantified compared the stocks at livestock ranches Tabasco, Mexico, containing either scattered trees grazing pastures (STP) or grass monocultures. Sampling plots were randomly established each ranch where above‐ stocks, from litterfall, production arboreal biomass growth measured. We found that...
Biogas is generated by controlled anaerobic digestion from animal manure, wastewater, landfills, industry, agroindustry, or other organic residues. mainly composed of 60–70% methane, 30–40% carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide <1%. Pure CH4 generates approximately 30.67 to 36.68 MJ m−3 10 Kw energy, being able compete with conventional fuels. The dioxide biogas decrease the energy potential methane damage equipment. purified could be a competitive biofuel Currently, there are many physical,...
Abstract: Trends in structural and chemical leaf traits along a chronosequence of semi-evergreen tropical forest their correlation with litter production decomposition associated carbon (C) nitrogen (N) fluxes were assessed. Leaves 15 dominant species each plot collected to measure area, specific area (SLA), C N concentration C:N ratio. Litterfall was measured experiments set up 16 experimental plots secondary mature forest. All five combined discriminated the forests from SLA, significantly...
Fire has been an integral part of ecosystem functioning in many biomes for a long time, but the increased intensity and frequency wildfires often affect plant diversity carbon storage. Prescribed burning is one alternatives to forest fuel management where fire controlled carried out under determined set weather conditions objectives. The effect prescribed on (C) storage not studied widely. objective this study was evaluate indices, biomass stocks, soil C tropical highland forests Southern...
