Water balance of peatland hydrological unit (PHU)CIFOR-ICRAF
Presented by Azwar Ma’as, Professor at the Faculty of Agriculture, Gadjah Mada University, at "Online Workshop Series:Exploring Criteria and Indicators for Tropical Peatland Restoration", on 2 Sep 2020.
In this session Prof. Ma’as shared insights from hydrology and water balance standpoint. These biophysical factors are important for the development of criteria and indicators for peatland restoration, particularly ensuring appropriate consideration for the water balance of each PHU.
Grass and legumes increase the aggregation of soil particles, improvement soil structure and water holding capacity of the soil. Grasses give quicker protection to eroded lands.To established gully sides, water-ways, gully heads and check dams, grass is perhaps the most effective and economical tool. It can be put to various uses in soil conservation, viz; Strip cropping, rotational cropping or lay farming. Stabilization of bunds and terraces. Stabilization of gullies, diversion or drainage channels. Stabilization of sand dunes. Meadows and pastures on steep slops. Fertility builder for eroded soil.
To aid in understanding many complex interactions, scientists often build mathematical models that represent simple climate systems. This module highlights the fundamentals of climate models.
Application of remote sensing in forest ecosystemaliya nasir
Established remote sensing systems provide opportunities to develop and apply new measurements of ecosystem function across landscapes, regions and continents.
New efforts to predict the consequences of ecosystem function change, both natural and human- induced, on the regional and global distributions and abundances of species should be a high research priority

Biodiversity, ecosystem services and soil fertility ExternalEvents
The presentation by Dr. Charles Gachene (University of Nairobi) looks at the key role that soils and soil ecosystem services play in agricultural production, and at example of best practices that can enhance soil fertility in the Kenyan and East African contexts. The presentation builds on a Technical Guidance Document on “Mainstreaming ecosystem services and biodiversity in agricultural production and management in East Africa”, published by FAO in 2016, and was given at a national training workshops for stakeholders involved in the revision of the Kenya NBSAP that was held at ICRAF in Nairobi, 25-26 May 2016. More information on the event are available at: www.fao.org/africa/news/detail-news/en/c/417489/
The activities were carried out under the EU-funded project “Capacity building related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries – Phase 2” (ACP/MEAs2).
This lecture was delivered for the Agricultural Instructors working for Climate Smart Agriculture project in 11 districts in the dry zone of Sri Lanka. It includes climate change and climate variability, Relevance of global impacts of climate change. Green House Gas (GHG) emission, Reduction of GHG in the agriculture sector, targets for GHG reduction up to 2050, new agriculture concepts to reduce GHG and increase carbon sequestration

Carbon is the fundamental component of all organic compounds. It is one of the primary elements of life, involved in the fixation of energy by photosynthesis. The biosphere includes a complex mixture of carbon compounds. They are originated, transformed and decomposed within this sphere. This module highlights the importance of carbon on the globe.
Nutrient recycling through agricultural and industrial wastes:potential and l...Pravash Chandra Moharana
Due to intensive agriculture, the soil resource is under increasing stress as there is a big gap between annual output of nutrients from soil due to crop removals and the nutrient inputs from external resources. So, filling this gap we go for nutrient recycling of non conventional resources i.e. agricultural and industrial wastes. On basis crop production, India generate about 312.5 Mt of crop residues, such as straw of cereals, oilseeds etc can supply about 1.13, 1.41 and 3.54 Mt of NPK. It has been estimated that all animal excreta can potentially supply 17.77 Mt of plant nutrients and 150 Mt of municipal wastes generated annually in India that have nutrient potential of about 1.72 Mt of NPK. At present India produces about 8.0 Mt of poultry manure which is sufficient to fertilizer about 3.56 Mha of land annually. These wastes are composted along with addition low grade rock phosphate and waste mica improve the quality of compost. A huge amount of effluents generated from tanning, textile, distillery and paper mill industries which contain several major primary and secondary plant nutrients (N, P, K, S, Mg, Ca, etc.) as well as micronutrients and heavy metals. Application of pressmud cake, FYM and poultry litter increase soil available nutrients and long term irrigation with paper mill effluent causes soil salinity and heavy metal accumulation. Industrial byproducts like phosphogypsum, basic slag etc used as soil ameliorant.

Sustainable agriculture It has been defined as "an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site-specific application that will last over the long term"
Sustainable agriculture has a major role to play in responding to climate change. While temperature rises pose a real threat to global food production.

Nutrient pollution, defined as excess amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus in aquatic systems, is one of the leading causes of water quality impairment in the United States. This report compiles current information regarding the costs of nutrient pollution. Such costs may be of two broad types. Some costs are associated with reducing nutrient pollution at its sources. Other costs are associated with the impacts of nutrient pollution in the environment. The latter category of costs is referred to as “external costs” or “externalities,” because they are “external” to the owners of the farms, businesses, or facilities that generate them.
