From 1992 to 1997, wheat, barley, maize, and cotton have been increased and instead rice, vegetables, sweet potatoes, fodder, tea, sesame, groundnuts, sugar beet, leguminous crops, tobacco, citrus, coffee, other cereals, and grass and fodder have been decreased due to decrease of pressurized and spate irrigation systems (Fig. 15) that led to decrease of cropping intensity in Africa.
Results indicate a trend for increased landscape fragmentation, decrease of annual crop fields (−43%) and, mainly, increase of meadows (+60%).
An observed decrease in photosynthetic performance is the primary reason for the reduction of crop yield induced by S. sclerotiorum.
Despite the decreasing contribution of crop genomic blocks in the backcross populations, the BC1S1 and BC2S1 hybrids were characterized by a substantial genetic variation under both non-stress and stress conditions.
In conclusion, when crop residue is maintained, RT systems can protect the labile C pools and decrease the incorporation of crop residues into the soil matrix with a lower supply of mineralizable organic C and N for microbes under the studied environmental settings.
However, in the case of a more general scenario of a local god's forest being cleared on and the culprit not specified, respondents discussed how retribution could fall on all the villagers, shortening life expectancy and decreasing fertility of crops and livestock.
It means rise in temperature reduced moisture availability of soil in post-monsoon season and decrease in water requirement of crop resulted in low vegetation growth.
Although the shrink of urban croplands decreased the water footprint of crop products.
The livestock population is increasing whilst the graze-able land is decreasing, which encourages competition of crop farmers with pastoralists.
The angular variation of scattering coefficient decreases with the age of crop ladyfinger shows the dominance of crop effect on soil moisture effect at the older age.
