“…Fertilizer application can maintain the amount of nutrient availability on an optimal level and affect the forage production and supply high quality herbage for cattle which can play a key role in the human food chain (Reijneveld et al., 2014). Recently, some efforts have focused on efficient use of fertilizers to promote soil quality along with minimum environmental damages (Cui & Holden, 2015; Ussiri & Lal, 2013). Applying fertilizers can compensate the depletion of nutrients from the soil and maintain the sustainability of grassland production especially when cutting with herbage removal is performed over a long period without fertilizer application (Pavlů et al., 2011).…”

Temperate grasslands occupy 9 million km 2 , representing 8% of earth's terrestrial surface (Figure 1) (Sala et al., 2013;White et al., 2000). Most permanent grasslands are land-use systems established by humans over centuries and therefore a part of our cultural landscape (Hejcman et al., 2013). Grasslands occur most commonly where site-specific conditions are less favourable for crop farming, while primarily found on marginal land. Grassland herbaceous plant communities evolved in close relation with herbivores and are adapted to defoliation. Defoliation is defined as removing plant shoots by grazing or mowing, and it is described in terms of intensity, interval between events, timing relative to season or plant growth stage, or by its spatial heterogeneity (Sollenberger

“…The low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of Fertilizer-N occurs as a result of leaching, mineralization, erosion and denitrification processes [12]- [15]. These losses contribute to the reduction of the agronomic efficiency of N-sources and also increase the emissions of greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide (N 2 O) [16]. N-use efficiency of urea may be enhanced by reducing the volatilization losses from agricultural system and is one of the main factors responsible for the low efficiency of the applied urea [14].…”

On tropical soils, liming and balanced nutrient supply are essential to ensure high crop yield and quality. An adequate agronomic nutrient management should be a balanced nutrition and fertilizers are the key factor on supplying nutrients. Urea is the most commonly used fertilizer-N source, despite potential losses by NH 3 volatilization. Thus, new fertilizers technologies are needed to support the increasing demand and avoid the low N use efficiency (NUE). The reduction of NH 3 -N volatilization can be achieved by the use of natural aluminosilicates with nitrogenous fertilizer materials. This review consolidates the current status on the subject and the experience with the application of aluminosilicates as a slow release plant-nutrient fertilizer. Volatilization losses of nitrogenous fertilizers on the soil surface could be reduced with addition of natural aluminosilicates. Clay minerals (zeolites) are widely used in many countries to reduce NH 3 volatilization from amide N fertilizers, such as urea, besides several organic forms of nitrogenous sources. The reduction in ammonia losses by volatilization and the increased efficiency of N utilization and slow release nature of urea-zeolite mixtures when urea is used together with aluminosilicates was demonstrated in laboratory, greenhouse and field experiments with different crops and environments. These results indicate that aluminosilicates minerals used with urea mineral fertilizer can enhance the efficiency of this source by improving the nitrogen use through the control of retention of ammonium ion, contributing to increasd N uptake and crop yields.

“…SOC difference between AFS+plantain and GF is explained with the change in land use and the management activities performed on the first one. This management exposes soils to adverse conditions that cause SOC deterioration (Ussiri & Lal, 2013). This does not happen with soils occupied by GF and BF, which are dedicated to hydric conservation and regulation, reason why continuous losses of SOC would not be expected (Cosentino & Costantini, 2000).…”

Soil is an important carbon reservoir as it can store twice the amount that atmosphere does and three times the biomass, which makes it a key component for climate change (CC) mitigation projects. It is important to know the potential of soil organic carbon storage (SOC) in the main uses of the soli and their expected dynamics due to potential use changes. SOCS is estimated in 7 of the dominant land use systems in the area of the study, with 5 replicas as follows: 1) banana with shade (SAF+banana); 2) cocoa with shade (Ca+S); 3) citrus (C); 4) low silvopastoral system (SSPB); 5) high silvopastoral system (SSPA); 6) gallery forests (BG); and 7) bush forest (MM). SOC concentration was analyzed in samples composed of 25 soil sub-samples per plot, and the DA was estimated with the cylinder method in a simple per plot. All land uses studied can mitigate CC when storing SOC. BG was the system that showed the highest carbon storage. On the other hand, SAF+banana stored the least SOC (72,7 vs 33,4Mg/ha, respectively). Changes in land use can cause CO2 emissions or an addition in carbon fixation. Changes in land use that increase SOC allow CC mitigation, which makes them feasible for funding, thus allowing an improvement in the livelihood of local producers.
