Long term manure driven nutrient cycling enhances productivity resilience and food security in semiarid agroecosystems

Understanding the long-term effects of sustained organic inputs is essential for building resilient and sustainable agricultural systems in semiarid regions where soil fertility and productivity are declining. Yet, the multi-decadal impacts of manure additions, especially when co...

Carbon sequestration and sustainable land management through temperate fruit orchards in Himalayan landscapes: implications for climate-resilient agroecosystems

Anthropogenic disturbances, inadequate land management, and deforestation have intensified the soil degradation in the Himalayan region. Temperate fruit plantations in this area exhibit differential abilities to sequester soil organic carbon (SOC). This study examined the dynamic...
