Intensity cultivation induced effect on soil organic carbon dynamic in the western cotton area of Burkuna Faso por Ouattara, B, Ouattara, K., Serpantie, G., Mando, A., Sedogo, MP, Bationo, B. André

“…The ploughing-in of organic matter (manure, crop residues) and the low frequency of the tillage system produced low soil carbon loss compared with annual ploughing. Human-induced disturbances (wildfire, overgrazing, fuel wood collection, decreasing fallow duration, increasing crop duration) in savannah land did not permit the SOC levels to reach those of the shifting cultivation system.…”
