Litter decomposition and nutrient release in different land use located in Valle del Cauca (Colombia)

Paola Andrea Piza et al.

Summary: The study revealed that different land use systems have an impact on litter decomposition and nutrient release, with the pasture monoculture system showing the highest turnover rate and nutrient release speed at 120 days, with potassium being the fastest nutrient release.

Intensive short-duration rotational grazing is associated with improved soil quality within one year after establishment in Colombia

Nikola Teutscherova et al.

Summary: The intensive short-duration rotational grazing (IRG) management in Colombian Eastern Plains has shown positive impacts on soil properties, including decreased bulk density, increased water retention capacity, higher organic carbon stocks, improved soil aggregation, and enhanced soil biodiversity, specifically in terms of macrofauna like earthworms and beetles. These improvements were observed as early as nine months after the implementation of IRG management, demonstrating its potential for sustainable intensification of grazing systems.

Cacao agroforestry systems improve soil fertility: Comparison of soil properties between forest, cacao agroforestry systems, and pasture in the Colombian Amazon

Leonardo Rodriguez Suarez et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate soil quality in different cacao agroforestry systems in the Colombian Amazon, finding that cacao-based agroforestry systems significantly improved soil fertility on degraded pastureland. The different land uses had significant effects on soil structure and biodiversity, with forests exhibiting the highest physical and biological quality.
