Generally speaking, 78.67% of projects in 2006 and 78.32% of those in 2007 proved effective at either improving or stabilizing productivity; however, only 40.56% and 34.34%, respectfully, were effective at doing both.
The roles of compensation and complementation in stabilizing productivity in genotypic mixtures of arabidopsis were determined for plants subjected to the types of abiotic stresses that may challenge present and future agricultural systems.
In-situ rice residue retention along with weed biomass recycling (MT) for 4-years improved soil quality, reduced cost of production and stabilized productivity in a low-input marginal (marginal soil and small scale farmers) hill agriculture.
The results show that 62.90% and 58.34% of projects in 2006 and 2007, respectfully, were effective at improving productivity, whereas 56.51% and 52.56%, respectfully, effectively stabilized productivity.
The design of the ponds and the means used to establish the flow regime have to be changed during scale-up to increase or at least stabilize productivity, while reducing the applied energy and thereby make economic viability possible.
The potential of plant diversity to increase or stabilize productivity is of great interest in crop systems (Zhu et al., 2000; Li et al., 2009).
Limited supplemental irrigation can, however, play a major role in boosting and stabilizing the productivity of both spring-sown and winter-sown chickpea.
Yield QTLs that were consistent in the target environment over seasons were identified on chromosomes 1, 4, and 6, which could stabilize the productivity in high-yielding rice lines in a water-limited rainfed ecosystem.
Our results suggested that in this boreal landscape, mature coniferous stands had stabilized their productivity and fluctuated as a weak C-sink or C-source depending on the interannual variations in hydrometeorological factors.
In particular, field and theoretical studies indicate that in plant communities, high species diversity stabilizes community productivity or cover due to population level instability [2], [7], [13].
Discrete management of genetically distinct populations can increase species-wide resilience and stabilize the productivity of ecosystems as a whole (Hilborn et al. 2003; Schindler et al. 2010).
