Indigenous African soil enrichment as a climate‐smart sustainable agriculture alternative by Solomon, Dawit, Lehmann, Johannes, Fraser, James A, Leach, Melissa, Amanor, Kojo, Frausin, Victoria, Kristiansen, Søren M, Millimouno, Dominique, Fairhead, James

“…In contrast with the nutrient‐poor and strongly acidic (pH 4.3–5.3) AS, AfDE exhibit slightly acidic (pH 5.6–6.4) conditions ideal for plant growth, 1.4–3.6 times greater cation exchange capacity, and 1.3–2.2 and 5–270 times more plant‐available nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively. Anthropological investigations reveal that AfDE make a disproportionately large contribution (24%) to total farm household income despite its limited spatial extent. …”

Exploring microbial diversity, antibiotic resistance, and their environmental drivers in urban and peri-urban riverbed sediments of sub-tropical river basins by Pandey, N. K., Simon, M., Vishwakarma, R. K., Sen, S., Joshi, H., Yadav, Shweta, Mateo-Sagasta, Javier, Jampani, Mahesh, Sikka, Alok, Hazra, S.

“…Rivers travel through diverse landscapes and carry natural and anthropogenic materials, which affect the dynamics of the biological and physicochemical properties of the river and riverbed sediments. Anthropological activities such as urbanization and industrialization release vast amounts of contaminants that can alter a river’s ecology and contribute to the emergence of drug resistance. …”

Comparative effectiveness of silvicultural interventions for increasing timber production and sustaining conservation values in natural tropical production forests: A systematic re... by Petrokofsky, G., Sist, P., Blanc, Lilian, Doucet, J.L., Finegan, B., Gourlet-Fleury, S., Healey, J.R., Livoreil, B., Nasi, Robert, Peña-Claros, M., Putz, F.E., Zhou, W.

“…There has been a gradual impoverishment of forest resources inside selectively logged forests in which the volume of timber extracted over the first cutting cycle was mostly from large, old trees that matured over a century or more and grew in the absence of strong anthropological pressures. In forests now being logged for a second and third time, that volume has not been reconstituted due in part to the lack of implementation of post-logging silvicultural treatments. …”
