Purpose Litter decomposition is a biological process resulting from enzymatic activities of microorganisms and influenced in a variety of ways by activities of termites in semi-arid regions. We presented a general model of the decomposition process from litter to carbon sequestration and nitrogen. We aimed at building a termite population growth model which could deal […]
Purpose This study assessed the fertilizing potential and environmental impacts of recycling the blood meal powder (BMP) produced in the abattoir as an organic fertilizer in agriculture. Method In this study, a 70-day laboratory incubation experiment was conducted using a clayey calcareous soil to study the effects of adding abattoir BMP at three rates (1.5, […]
Purpose: Exploring alternatives to mitigate soil degradation has been gaining importance in recent years. Biochar promises to improve properties such as soil fertility and soil conditioning. This research involved an experiment with different levels of biochar in associating it with some chemical properties and the wood yield of A. mangium. Method: We used a design […]
