Land degradation is a major obstacle to agricultural development in Africa, where it's accentuated by poor practices and climate change effects. Restoration of degraded lands crucial prevent incursions into virgin marginal lands. A field experiment was carried out over four-year period on two sites, assess compare the effect common of: (i) burning crop residues weeds resource-poor farmers (T1) ...

The application of micronutrient supplements such as fertilizer, animal manure and sewage sludge in bid to enhance soil productivity and crop yield, poses the risk of heavy metals elevation and nutrients depletion in arable lands. Arable soils were collected from farmlands in use for the cultivation of food produce in selected farming communities in South Western Nigeria. The soils were air-dri...

Agricultural intensification over the last 60 decades has been linked to decreases in biodiversity and in the breeding populations of several avian species in farmlands. However, agricultural intensification has not affected all species in the same way and transformed landscapes can still provide suitable habitats for species tolerant to some degree of anthropogenic change. Understanding habita...

This study fills the gap in existing literature by developing a two-stage quantile spatial Durbin model to evaluate benefit from cancellation of controlled contaminated farmlands. The results monetary are identify contribution farmland attributed change total resulting show that significant impacts attributes size transacted farmland, distance between and main traffic artery, price construction...
