Some utilisation options for cattle dung as soil amendment and their effects in coarse-textured Ultisols and maize growth by Solange Ndzeshala, Sunday Obalum, Charles Igwe

“…Purpose Scarcity of effective manures frustrates the adoption of organic-based soil fertility management in tropical agriculture. Cattle dung (CD) is hugely generated but underutilised due to its high carbon-nitrogen ratio and low mineralisation rate compared with poultry droppings (PD), hence the need to enhance CD's efficacy.Method Effects of CD utilisation options on fertility of sandy-loam Ultisols and maize growth were assessed under glasshouse conditions. …”

Direct and indirect effects of land use on microbiomes of trap-nesting solitary bee larvae and nests by Birte Peters, Birte Peters, Birte Peters, Sara Diana Leonhardt, Michael Schloter, Alexander Keller

“…We anticipated reduced microbial diversity and altered composition with increased land use intensification, which is known to decrease the number and diversity of resources, including the pool of floral and soil bacteria in the surrounding environment.ResultsAs expected, we observed significant shifts in the bacterial composition and diversity of bees and their nests across varying degrees of land use intensity, differing in management types and the availability of flowers. The Shannon diversity of bacteria in nest materials (larval pollen provision, soil nest enclosure) and larval guts decreased with increasing land use intensity. …”
