Labile N and the nitrogen management index of oxisols in the Brazilian cerrados
The effect of land use on the availability of soil nitrogen (N) was studied by separating total soil N into one labile and one stable fraction by oxidation and extraction of labile N with potassium permanganate. The nitrogen management index (NMI) was calculated according to Blair et al. (1995) for the carbon management index. In all systems, labile N released by potassium permanganate was a better indicator for nitrogen availability than were total and stable N. The NMI was a good indicator for N availability but gave no information on the total amount of N.
Labor productivity and natural resources: an assessment at the national level in Honduras
The study establishes the link between agricultural labor productivity and natural resources variables at the national level in Honduras. We show through spatial analysis of productivity and natural resources that the relationship between natural resource conditions and agricultural productivity is not as direct as one can imagine. Length of the rain)" season has a strong and quasi linear relation with income. Soil has little impact on productivity as well as slope and altitude since coffee production in the mountain has a strong relation on productivity.
