Rapid characterization of organic resource quality for soil and livestock management in tropical agroecosystems using near-infrared spectroscopy por Shepherd, Keith D., Palm, Cheryl A., Gachengo, CN, Vanlauwe, Bernard

“…A spectral library was constructed for 319 samples of oven-dried, ground plant material originating from green leaf (186 samples), litter (33), root (25), and stem (21) samples from 83 species including tropical crops and trees used for agroforestry and manure samples (39). Organic resource attributes were calibrated to first-derivative reflectance using regression trees with stochastic gradient boosting, and screening tests were developed for separating various organic resource quality classes using classification trees. …”

Changing rainfall patterns and farmers ’ adaptation through soil water management practices in semi- arid eastern Kenya por Recha, John W.M., Mati, Bancy M., Nyasimi, Mary, Kimeli, Philip, Kinyangi, James, Radeny, Maren A.O.

“…The most popular practices are cut-off drains, retention ditches, terracing, run-off harvesting, and agroforestry. The estimated seasonal water budget indicates the need for integrated soil and water management interventions to address the crop and livestock production constraints.…”
