Activity, composition and structure of soil microbial communities in Savannahshrubs of agroecosystems in semi-arid Senegal

Creator:

Diedhiou, Sire

Abstract:

Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis are two native shrubs that coexist with row crops in parkland systems of the Sahel of Africa. Although permanently green all year around in soil depleted in nutrients and dry for a nine-month period, these shrubs have been largely overlooked. Conventional management of these shrubs...

Response of soil microbial communities to physical and chemical disturbances: implications for soil quality and land use sustainability

Creator:

Chaer, Guilherme M.

Abstract:

The objectives of this thesis were to evaluate the responses of soil microbial communities to physical and chemical disturbances, and associate these responses with soil functional stability and changes in soil quality. The first study consisted of application of heat shocks (HS) to soils with contrasting land use history to...
