Optimizing forest residue management after harvesting: nutrient export scenarios in Eucalyptus plantations across high forest and coppice systems
Gardenia Gonçalves de Oliveira , Túlio Barroso Queiroz , Ana Paula Kupper , Liamara Masullo , Rodrigo Hakamada , Iraê Amaral Guerrini Abstract In tropical regions, biomass from forest residues in Eucalyptus plantations, particularly belowground, are increasingly recognized as a vital energy source; however, harvesting this biomass can deplete soil nutrients, potentially reducing wood productivity in subsequent […]

Dry matter production and nutrient uptake by cover crops in Brazilian agriculture
Martha Lustosa Carvalho, Leonardo de Aro Galera, Raissa Siepman Scholten, Lucas Pecci Canisares & Maurício Roberto Cherubin Abstract In a scenario of global soil degradation, cover crops are increasingly promoted for their benefits to soil health and ecosystem services. In Brazil, adoption remains limited due to technical barriers and scarce accessible data. This systematic literature […]
