Susceptibilidad del suelo a la degradación en parcelas con manejo agroforestal Quesungual en Nicaragua = Susceptibility to soil degradation in plots under Quesungual agroforestry management in Nicaragua
Durante tres años se establecieron en un Andisol del municipio de Somotillo (Nicaragua) los sistemas
de usos de tierra: tradicional del productor (tala, quema, fertilización y siembra de maíz + fríjol);
agroforestal Quesungual (SAQ) (no quema, árboles nativos en regeneración natural y siembra de
maíz + fríjol); residuos de cultivos (manejo de cobertura con residuos de cultivos); y testigo bosque
secundario (tacotal) de aproximadamente cinco años de edad no cultivado. Se hicieron muestreos de
Terrain controls on the distribution of tree species diversity and structure in tropical lowland and tropical montane forest.Thesis (Ph.D.)

Temporal change in land use by irrigation source in Tamil Nadu and management implications
Interannual variation in rainfall throughout Tamil Nadu has been causing frequent and noticeable land use changes despite the rapid development in groundwater irrigation. Identifying periodically water-stressed areas is the first and crucial step to minimizing negative effects on crop production. Such analysis must be conducted at the basin level as it is an independent water accounting unit.
