Synergies and Trade-Offs of National Conservation Policy and Agro-Forestry Management Over Forest Loss in Argentina During the Last Decade by Martinez Pastur, Guillermo José, Schlichter, Tomas Miguel, Matteucci, Silvia D., Gowda, Juan H., Huertas Herrera, Alejandro, Toro Manríquez, Mónica D.R., Lencinas, María Vanessa, Cellini, Juan Manuel, Peri, Pablo Luis

“…The objective is to determine the ecological and sociopolitical factors that influence the dynamics of forest cover loss before and after the lawimplementation and discuss the effectiveness of conservation and forest management policies. Satellite images, national ordination, forest regions maps and other variables were combined in GIS with national databases (social, agriculture, industry) to determine the evolution of potential drivers of forest changes. …”

What evidence exists for the effectiveness of on‑farm conservation land management strategies for preserving ecosystem services in developing countries? A systematic map by Thorn, J.P.R., Friedman R, Benz D, Willis, K.J., Petrokofsky, G.

“…Conclusions: The study employs systematic mapping combined with an online interactive platform that geographically maps results, which allows users to interrogate different aspects of the evidence through a defined database field structure. While studies are not directly comparable, the database of 746 studies brings together a previously fragmented and multidisciplinary literature base, and collectively provides evidence concerning a wide range of conservation land management practices impacting key ecosystem services. …”

Improving nitrogen use efficiency and reducing nitrogen surplus through best fertilizer nitrogen management in cereal production: the case of India and China by Sapkota, Tek Bahadur, Singh, Bijay, Takele, Robel

“…Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) at farmers' fields dictates both production of food crops as well as loss of N to the environment including efforts to curb climate change due to N2O emission. We used a gridded database on N input and N output for wheat, rice, and maize in China and India from 1961 to 2013 to synthesize the dynamics of NUE (percentage of applied N used by the crop) and surplus N (difference between total N input and N output) and in the light of relevant literature interpreted it in terms of past and future fertilizer N management scenarios and fertilizer related policies in the two countries. …”

Adoption and impacts of agricultural technologies and sustainable natural resource management practices in fragile and conflict affected settings: A review and meta-analysis by Nshakira-Rukundo, Emmanuel, Tabe-Ojong, Martin Paul Jr., Gebrekidan, Bisrat Haile, Agaba, Monica, Surendran-Padmaja, Subash, Dhebibi, Boubaker

“…We employ state of the art machine learning methods to enable process and selection of appropriate papers from a universe of over 78,000 papers from leading academic databases. We find that studies on adoption and impact of agricultural technologies and natural resource management practices are highly clustered around Ethiopia and Nigeria. …”

Communicating complexity: Integrated assessment of trade-offs concerning soil fertility management within African farming systems to support innovation and development by Giller, Kenneth E., Tittonell, Pablo A., Rufino, Mariana C., Wijk, Mark T. van, Zingore, Shamie, Mapfumo, Paul, Adjei-Nsiah, Samuel, Herrero, Mario, Chikowo, Regis, Corbeels, Marc, Rowe, E., Baijukya, Frederick P., Mwijage, A., Smith, Jimmy W., Yeboah, E., Burg, J. van de, Sanogo, M., Misiko, Michael T., Ridder, N.A. de, Karanja, S., Kaizzi, C., Kungu, J., Mwale, M., Nwaga, D., Pacini, C., Vanlauwe, Bernard

“…African farming systems are highly heterogeneous: between agroecological and socioeconomic environments, in the wide variability in farmers’ resource endowments and in farm management. This means that single solutions (or ‘silver bullets’) for improving farm productivity do not exist. …”
