Agriculture is the cornerstone of Rwanda’s economy. The authors review how the sector has changed and specifically what soil management practices are now being implemented to enhance coffee production. Coffee covers around 2.3% of total cultivated arable land, and is grown mainly by smallholder farmers on plots of less than one hectare. Rwanda produces high-quality speciality or fully washed co...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of forest road construction on the Soil Organic Carbon Stock (SOCS) in Ziarat Catchment. Therefore, soil samples were collected from five land use types including road construction, cultivated area, channel bank, pasture and forest land and soil organic carbon concentration and bulk density were measured in the samples and SOCS were...

classifying remote sensing imageries to obtain reliable and accurate landuse/cover (luc) information still remains a challenge that depends on many factors suchas complexity of landscape especially in arid region. the aim of this paper is to extractreliable luc information from land sat imageries of the pishkouh watershed of centralarid region, iran. the classical maximum likelihood classifier ...

Digital financial inclusion (DFI), characterized by digitalization and inclusiveness, has generally been recognized as a significant promoter of efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability agricultural production. Simultaneously, cultivated land green utilization efficiency (CLGUE), which is the guarantees food security, social stability environmental protection, attracted increasing attention in...

Information on important source areas for dissolved solids in streams of the southwestern United States, the relative share of deliveries of dissolved solids to streams from natural and human sources, and the potential for salt accumulation in soil or groundwater was developed using a SPAtially Referenced Regressions On Watershed attributes model. Predicted area-normalized reach-catchment deliv...

Wetlands worldwide are becoming increasingly degraded, and this has motivated many attempts to manage and restore wetland ecosystems. Restoration actions require a large resource investment, so it is critical to measure the outcomes of these management actions. We evaluated the restoration of floodplain wetland vegetation across a chronosequence of land uses, using remote sensing analyses. We c...

As an important reserve cultivated land resource in my country, its development and utilization are of great significance to ensure food security. Aiming at the problems bare gravel leakage shallow soil layer barren rock beach area, through community simulation experiments, different covering structures were set up on basis underlying gravel, effects physical chemical properties crop yield moni...

Following the implementation of the Green for Grain Project in 2000 in Guyuan, China, the decrease in cultivated land and subsequent increase in forest and grassland pose substantial challenges for the supply of biological products. Whether the current biologically productive land-use patterns in Guyuan satisfy the biological product requirements for local people is an urgent problem. In this s...
