Particulate organic matter, carbohydrate, humic acid contents in soil macro- and microaggregates as affected by cultivation
(Elsevier Science, 2006-12)
Cultivation is known to strongly affect not only soil structure but also organic substances responsible for aggregation. This research was conducted to study the effect of cultivation on the distribution of soil macro- and ...
Organic C, N and P in size fractions of virgin and cultivated soils of the semi-arid pampa of Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2001-02)
Nutrient and organic carbon (OC) losses are important components of the soil degradation processes produced by continuous agriculture. It was hypothesized that coarse textured soils will be more affected by cultivation ...
Mushroom cultivation and biogas production: A sustainable reuse of organic resources
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-06)
The industry of mushroom cultivation uses a wide variety of lignocellulosic waste and is considered a very efficient way to recycle agro-residues and to produce food. This activity generates tons of spent mushroom substrate ...
Cultivation effects on the distribution of organic carbon, total nitrogen and phosphorus in soils of the semiarid region of Argentinian Pampas
(Elsevier Science, 2006-12)
Cultivation of native land can reduce the quality of soil by decreasing topsoil contents of organic carbon, total nitrogen, and phosphorus in the semiarid Pampas of Argentina. The objective of this study was to analyze the ...
Effect of cultivation method and processing on total polyphenols content and antioxidant capacity of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum)
(Sociedad Española de Dietética y Ciencias de la Alimentación. Fundación Alimentación Saludable., 2020-10)
Tomato is an important dietary source of polyphenols. Factors such as cultivation method and heat can affect its composition. The objective of this study was to determine changes of polyphenol content and antioxidant ...
Role and management of soil biodiversity for food security and nutrition; where do we stand?
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Soils host diverse communities that support and regulate ecosystem functions, thereby affecting plant production and resource use efficiencies. There is increasing evidence that agricultural intensification affects soil ...
Modeling the potential distribution of Valeriana carnosa Sm. in Argentinean Patagonia: a proposal for conservation and in situ cultivation considering climate change projections
(Elsevier, 2020-01)
Over recent years species distribution models have been used for the identification of suitable cultivation zones for native plant species. Valeriana carnosa is one of the most frequently used native plants in Patagonian ...
Organic Compounds Determined at Different Levels of Ripening of the Pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.) Cv Cayenne in Two Cultivation Systems under Subtropical Conditions
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-08)
This article studies the organic compounds of pineapple fruit, during ripening in two cultivation systems (greenhouse and field), in a subtropical region. Total reducing sugars, organic acids, total phenolic content and ...
