“…In our study, the soil pH, AN, and AK decreased significantly with the application of mixed-bacterial fertilizers, but there were no significant changes with single-bacterial fertilizers (Table 3). These findings are consistent with those of Roohi et al [38], Ben et al [39], and Mojid et al [40], which may be the result of acidification due to microbial interactions that decompose organic matter and producing free hydrogen ions. However, other studies have reached the contrasting conclusions.…”

Bamboo shoot processing wastewater (BBPW) is rich in organic matter and organic acids and can be used as a nutrient source for microbial growth and biofertilization. In this study, Pseudomonas K22-D and Terribacillus goriness CS3 were isolated from bamboo forest soil with plant growth-promoting properties. Biofertilizers were prepared by inoculating bacteria into BBPW, and the effects of their application in a bamboo forest were evaluated. The chemical oxygen demand, TOC, TN, and NH4-N contents decreased after inoculation, indicating that the bacteria were able to degrade macromolecules in BBPW. The BBPW biofertilizer produced by mixed bacteria (CS3 + K22-D) significantly improved the soil organic carbon and mineral-associated organic carbon content and reduced the pH, alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium content of the soils in the bamboo forest, which might be attributed to the high C:N ratio and microbial synergism in the biofertilizer and the fast growth period of bamboo shoots. Notably, the CS3 biofertilizer significantly increased soil-available phosphorus (90.25%), and the K22-D biofertilizer significantly decreased soil-available phosphorus (70.33%) compared with CK, suggesting that the presence of inorganic phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria can promote soil P. We believe that the return of inoculated bamboo shoot processing wastewater to bamboo plantations can be an eco-friendly, sustainable practice for bamboo forest management.

“…In the two studies where only the no-till technique was tested, the authors reported that this practice is providing a significant increase in SOC, mainly in the top layer of soil, compared to conventional tillage treatments, and the differences start to become more significant over various seasons of no-till application. Examples include a +7% increase in SOC after 4 years in study 4, +289% after more than 80 years in study 8 [32,36], and up to a +25% increase after 4 years and +13.6% in study 2 after 11 years [30,31]. In study 11, Fenni et al [39] proved that a no-till practice could save from 50% to 70% fuel compared to conventional till treatment, in addition to the increase in SOC.…”

North Africa (NA) is supposed to lower emissions in its agriculture to honor climate action commitments and to impulse sustainable development across Africa. Agriculture in North Africa has many assets and challenges that make it fit to use the tools of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) for mitigation purposes. This study represents a first attempt to understand if CSA practices are sufficiently established in NA to contribute to reducing agriculture emissions. A PRISMA-inspired systematic review was carried out on an initial 147 studies retrieved from Scopus, Google Scholar, and the Web of Science databases, as well as from gray literature. 11 studies were included in the final analysis since they report the mitigation and co-benefits of CSA-based practices within NA. A bias risk was identified around the optimal inclusion of studies produced in French, and a specific plan was set for its minimization. Synthesis results revealed that most studies focused either on improving soil quality (nine studies) or managing enteric fermentation (two studies). The review revealed a poor establishment of the CSA framework in the region, especially in sequestering GHG emissions. A set of recommendations has been formulated to address the identified gaps from research orientations and organizational perspectives and empower the CSA as an ally for mitigation in north African agriculture.

“…However, water scarcity is also considered as another crucial factor that causes soil degradation, and a decrease in SOC content in semi-arid and arid regions [24]. On average, every year, arid areas have long drought periods (4 to 6 months), so the generation of natural biomass as C source is limited by climatic conditions, but this problem is maximized due to management practices in these arid regions, since the highly intensified tillage causes a loss of spontaneous vegetation cover [25]. The main consequence of these processes acting synergistically is that these soils are highly vulnerable to degradation processes, due mainly to SOM depletion and wind erosion, which cause desertification, which is intensified by the current global warming crisis [26,27].…”

Short and Long-Term Effect of Land Use and Management on Soil Organic Carbon Stock in Semi-Desert Areas of North Africa-Tunisia

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays an important role in the global C cycle, as well as in the maintenance and improvement of the soil quality. Over time, special attention has been paid to it in the study of the SOC reserves worldwide; however, reduced attention has been given to assessing the spatial patterns of SOC stock (SOCS) in semi-desert ecosystems. In this line, there are no conclusive studies in drylands of Africa affected by aeolian processes (semi-desert conditions) mainly due to the complexity of sample collection, and this is especially significant in some soil types such as Arenosols (AR) and Calcisols (CL). This study evaluated the spatial variability of SOC and SOCS in AR and CL with woody crops in relation to land use and management (old plantations > 100 years: centenary olive grove; new plantations < 12 years: young olive grove, almond, and pistachio) in semi-desert conditions. For this purpose, 16 soil profiles (for 0–40 and 40–100 cm depth) were selected and studied in an experimental area of Menzel Chaker-Sfax in southeastern Tunisia (North Africa). The main results indicated that the SOCS on average was higher in Old Cultivated AR (OC-AR) with 41.16 Mg ha−1 compared to Newly Cultivated AR (NC-AR) with 25.13 Mg ha−1. However, the SOCS decreased after a long period of cultivation in CL from 43.00 Mg ha−1 (Newly Cultivated CL: NC-CL) to 32.19 Mg ha−1 (Old Cultivated CL: OC-CL). This indicates that in the long term, CL has more capacity to store SOC than AR, and that in the short term, AR is more sensitive to land management than CL.
