Soil Organic Carbon as observed in lowlands of Continuous Rice Cropping in Gu...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Advocated organic matter (OM) supplying to agriculture soil should be according to the soil properties, resulting different rates requirement instead of applying blank recommendation (12 tha-1 ). Two lowlands under continuous rice-rice cropping in the centre of Côte d’Ivoire were surveyed in 2013 considering 31 rice fields (farmers) for each location. Soil samples (93) were taken in 0 – 20 cm depth systematically (50 m along × 20 m across) extending the hydromorphic zone (HZ), the fringe valley (FV) and the valley bottom (VB) along the upper stream (US), median (MS) and downstream (DS) positions respectively. Soil organic carbon (SOC) content was differently observed in association with clay or silt particles according the topographic positions. Lowest amounts of SOC, maximum stable C (31.02% – 31.66%) and highest C mineralization (2.72% – 2.97%) rate (K2) were often accounting for the HZ contrasting with the VB. Unexpected higher rates of 224 tha-1 , 269.4 tha-1 and 281.03 tha-1 as rice and weed residues were required across the transversal section of the valley respectively over the current recommendation of 12 tha-1 . Dissolved C and leached nutrients (Na, K, Mg and Ca) may be released from HZ to VB contributing to rice yield gap (4.5 – 6.44 th-1 ). Soil contents of clay and K were the most relevant yield increasing factors against the contents of sand, silt and K2 value. More enriched organic-C source was required for improving organic input in the studied agro-systems emphasizing a major constraint for lowland rice production.

This presentation for the Mekong ARCC project was given by ICEM’s personnel and consultants Olivier Joffre, Dang Kieu Nhan, Bun Chantrea and Jorma Koponen at the Final Workshop in Bangkok – held in March 2013.
The presentation highlights the findings from the Climate Change Impact and Vulnerability Assessment on the agriculture sector in the Lower Mekong Basin. It presents changes in basin-wide crop suitability, changes in hot spot crop yields and provides a vulnerability assessment for key crops in hot spots. The land use suitability evaluation tool (LUSET) was used to evaluate the suitability of specific land units for a range of crops. For each location suitability is based on climatological characteristics such as rainfall, drought and temperature, and each crop has its special requirements which are affected positively or negatively by climate change.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

drainage and other management practices that increase the land
productivity in the Nile Delta and Valley as well as the newly reclaimed lands
2-4 Water and land pollution control.
Survey & monitor the locations & impacts of industrial pollutants discharged to water
& soil resources.
Initiating data base of pollution sources, types of pollutants, extension migration and
impacts.
Methods & technologies to treat, minimize and curtail the discharge.
15. 2-5 Environmental pollution in Wadi El-Rayan
depression
-Reuse of drainage water through blending strategy or using
drainage water solely as in wadi El – Rayan which contributes
to pollution of CI, NO3 , heavy metals & organo- metal
complexes that should be monitored and assess their risks.
- Management scheme to control pollution.
- Raise awareness on hazards.
2-6 Safe use of treated sewage water for afforestation.
Some selected remote areas of desert lands close to waste
water treatment plants to dispose waste water for
afforestation and prevent its hazardous effect.
16. 3- Rehabilitation, conservation and use of range resources.
3-1 Artificial revegetation of depleted range
Artificial revegetaion and / or planting of seedlings of the
fodder for whole sub-projects, shrubs to increase forage and
livestock production. This is accomplished through using proven
techniques, sites with high potential , seeds of tested forage
species , protection against grazing , ….etc.
3-2 Conservation of soil and water resources.
The areas suggested for this sub-project are W. Al-Arish , SW
Sinai , W. Hederba and W. Halayeb where soil and water
conservation including control of wind & water erosion ,
securing soil fertility & stability and increasing water use
efficiency .
Construction of sizeable dams, gully plugs, contour terracing
trenches, furrows pitting & water harvesting , management of
watershed areas, …. etc.
17. 3-3 Grazing management.
The sub-project aims at improving plant communities , livestock
performance , soil stability & water –shed management, restoring
vigor of forage plants and improve grazing schedule. This program
will be devoted to N Coastal Zone, Sinai &shalateen-Halayeb
district.
4- Rainfed agriculture.
4-1 Land use planning.
Scheduling land use patterns for the northern coastal zone to
include rehabilitation of ranges, desertification activities,
expansion of touristic resorts , areas irrigated from El- Hammam
canal, rain fed cereals, and infrastructures for urban, travel and
industrial activities.
This word is aided by GIS data.
18. 4-2 Experimental cloud seedling.
This sub-project focuses on cloud seedling to overcome aridity and
desertification.
This will be implemented over the vulnerable districts especially those far
from the Nile fiver.
Use of innovative and effective approaches to grow plants in the desert.
Experimental work will be conducted in the Northern coastal zone, Tushka
(Western Desert)
4-3 Improving livestock performance.
This sub-project aimed at increasing animal productivity through cross-
breeding and veterinary services, provide green fodders (silage).
Saving losses in feeds and other practices to improve nutritive value and
feed conversion efficiency to improve animal productivity and maximize
profitability
19. 4-4 Improving small ruminant production in N. Sinai.
The sub-project includes improving feeding and nutritional
through biotechnology of agricultural residues, fodder shrubs,
natural ranges, improving animal management as well as
veterinary care and protection of livestock from endemic
diseases and malnutrition to increase animal productivity and
sustainability.
4-5 Soil erosion control.
This sub-project focused on soil erosion rates by water and wind
in the NCZ, preparing a data base on erosion to find out the most
efficient methods for controlling soil erosion and maintain soil
conservation for sustainable use.
20. 5- Program for sand dunes stabilization.
5-1 Control of sand encroachment on High Dam Lake.
This – project aims to control sand movement to the High Dam
lake via establishing successive green belts crossing wind
direction.
This will also contribute to improvement of local climate and
environmental conditions, plant species will be drought-
resistance for the prevailed hyper arid condition
5-2 Stabilization of sand dune in Siwa Oasis
This sub-project deals with controlling sand encroachment using
mechanical , chemical and biological measures.
This also includes the use of drainage water in fixation to alleviate
drainage problem in this Oasis .besides, transfer of mobile dunes
to agricultural lands.
21. 5-3 Stabilization of shifting sand dunes in N. Sinai.
This sub-project aimed at formulating a master plan for the
control of shifting dunes in N. Sinai and to establish 2 pilot
areas to test the biological measures for dunes fixation and
their proper management practices.
Referring to the previous programs the most important
deliverables from the Egyptian NAP (2008-2014) during the
implementation of the Plan are:-
In spite of the several succeeded story and different
outcomes, the Egyptian
22. NAP confronted several challenges and constraints during the
period of implementation (2008-2014). These include absence
of institutional capacities and arrangement of many department
responsible of applying and executing a lot of work in time and
with favourable measures , lack of financing and information,
communication between the different ministers rise and
agencies then collecting the data concerning the desertification
seems to be somewhat difficult .
The governmental , private sector and the non-governmental
organization have contributed deeply in this problematic
subjects with good achievement , but so difficult to monitor and
register and be available for studies and processing.
