Abstract. The p\uffc3\uffa1ramo is a high\uffe2\uff80\uff90altitude ecosystem of the northern Andes. The vegetation is continuous, with grasses as the dominant groundcover. Because of their high water retention, p\uffc3\uffa1ramos play a fundamental role in water availability for all the population of the inter\uffe2\uff80\uff90Andean valleys. There are many studies of this specific ecosystem, but very few are focussed on overgrazing and its effect on vegetation and soil properties. Intensive grazing started less than 20 years ago and was studied in a representative area in the western Cordillera of central Ecuador covered by recent volcanic ash deposits. Intensive sheep grazing has led to a strong decline in the number of plant species, the replacement of the tussock grass vegetation by a short carpet grass vegetation, and an increase of bare land. In that area, the upper 50 cm of Andisols are deeply affected by a convergent decrease of Al and Fe oxalate and pyrophosphate in soil extracts, carbon contents decrease from 100 g kg\uffe2\uff80\uff931 to less than 50 g kg\uffe2\uff80\uff931 in the humid zone, from 70 to 40 g kg\uffe2\uff80\uff931 in the dry zone and a reduction of water\uffe2\uff80\uff90retention capacity at \uffe2\uff88\uff9233 kPa matrix potential from 800 g kg\uffe2\uff80\uff931 to 200 g kg\uffe2\uff80\uff931 in humid zones, from 350 to less than 100 g kg\uffe2\uff80\uff931 in drier areas. They showed also a decrease in the macrostructure and the development of a highly water repellent microstructure. All these important transformations favour the development of aeolian erosion in dry areas, runoff on bare surfaces, and gully erosion on slopes. The role of the p\uffc3\uffa1ramo in water\uffe2\uff80\uff90regulation of this ecosystem seems to have been adversely affected for the future.

However, the direction and quantity of these changes have rarely been quantified in East African savanna ecosystem. As shifts in soil C and N pools might further potentially influence climate change mitigation, we quantified and compared soil organic carbon (SOC) and total soil nitrogen (TSN) content in enclosures and communal grazing lands across varying woody cover i.e. woody encroachment levels. Estimated mean SOC and TSN stocks at 0-40 cm depth varied across grazing regimes and among woody encroachment levels. The open grazing land at the heavily encroached site on sandy loam soil contained the least SOC (30 \u00b1 2.1 Mg ha-1) and TSN (5 \u00b1 0.57 Mg ha-1) while the enclosure at the least encroached site on sandy clay soil had the greatest mean SOC (81.0 \u00b1 10.6 Mg ha-1) and TSN (9.2 \u00b1 1.48 Mg ha-1). Soil OC and TSN did not differ with grazing exclusion at heavily encroached sites, but were twice as high inside enclosure compared to open grazing soils at low encroached sites. Mean SOC and TSN in soils of 0-20 cm depth were up to 120% higher than that of the 21-40 cm soil layer. Soil OC was positively related to TSN, cation exchange capacity (CEC), but negatively related to sand content. Our results show that soil OC and TSN stocks are affected by grazing, but the magnitude is largely influenced by woody encroachment and soil texture. We suggest that improving the herbaceous layer cover through a reduction in grazing and woody encroachment restriction are the key strategies for reducing SOC and TSN losses and, hence, for climate change mitigation in semi-arid rangelands.", "keywords": ["Cation-exchange capacity", "01 natural sciences", "nitrogen", "Agricultural and Biological Sciences", "Soil", "Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Management", "Soil water", "Rangeland Degradation and Pastoral Livelihoods", "2.

This network is based on the monitoring of 2240 sites representative of French soils and their land use.

The network covers a broad spectrum of climatic, soil and land-use conditions (croplands, permanent grasslands, woodlands, orchards and vineyards, natural or scarcely anthropogenic land and urban parkland). The physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil are measured on each site, during the first campaign et presently on the second campaign. The spatial and temporal variability of soil properties are explained by biophysical variables, sources of contamination, history of land-use and management practices on each plot. The first sampling campaign in metropolitan France took place from 2000 to 2009. This campaign focused on soil contamination assessment and made it possible to map key soil parameters (28 variables) as well as 12 trace metal elements and 70 persistent organic pollutants. The sampling method, measurements and observations on each site are described in the \u201cRMQS guidelines\u201d1 (in French: \u201cmanuel du RMQS\u201d). The second campaign started in 2016 and should last 12 years. The dataset includes the results of soil analyses from 2171 sites, spread over 2146 cells and corresponding to the first RMQS campaign (2000-2009). Analysed parameters are particle size analysis (5 fractions), total carbon and nitrogen, cation exchange capacity and exchangeable cations, total calcium carbonates, pH in water, available P2O5, free iron, total major elements and trace elements (total and partial extraction). The soil tests were carried out on composite samples collected with an auger at two sampling layers: 0-30 cm or cultivated layer named \u201cupper layer\u201d or \u201clayer 1\u201d and 30-50 cm named \u201csubsoil layer\u201d or \u201clayer 2\u201d. Each composite sample was made up of 25 individual sample cores taken on a sampling area of 400 m\u00b2, using an unaligned systematic sampling design (see description in the RMQS guidelines). In some cases a third layer was made up of holorganic layers in forests or meadows, corresponding to pedological horizons OF and OH, when these layers were sufficiently thick, (at least 1 cm) and continuous over the sampling area.", "keywords": ["Earth and Environmental Science", "sol", "pH du sol", "p\u00e9dologie (geosciences)", "TER sciences du sol", "capacit\u00e9 d \u00e9change cationique", "fer", "carbonate", "granulom\u00e9trie du sol", "Earth and Environmental Sciences", "conductivit\u00e9 \u00e9lectrique", "p\u00e9dologie geosciences", "carbone du sol", "phosphore du sol", "Environmental Research", "Natural Sciences", "capacit\u00e9 d'\u00e9change cationique", "azote du sol", "Geosciences"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Association marnaise de d\u00e9veloppement agricole et viticole, Association pour la Relance Agronomique en Alsace (ARAA), Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture des Ardennes, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Aube, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture du Calvados, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Charente, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Charente-Maritime, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture du Cher, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Corr\u00e8ze, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de la C\u00f4te d'Or, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Creuse, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture des Deux-S\u00e8vres, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Eure, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Eure-et-Loir, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Haute-Marne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Haute-Vienne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Indre, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Loire-Atlantique, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Mayenne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de la Manche, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Mayenne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de la Ni\u00e8vre, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Orne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Sa\u00f4ne-et-Loire, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Seine-et-Marne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Seine-Maritime, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Vend\u00e9e, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de la Vienne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Yonne, Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Bretagne, Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Lorraine, Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Picardie, Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Poitou-Charentes, Conseil G\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Mayenne, \u00c9cole nationale d'ing\u00e9nieurs des travaux agricoles de Bordeaux (ENITAB), EDIACARA, \u00c9tablissement national d'enseignement sup\u00e9rieur agronomique de Dijon (ENESAD), Genevois-Gomendy-Sol et Environnement, Groupe R\u00e9gional Agronomie P\u00e9dologie Environnement (GRAPE Franche-Comt\u00e9), Institut Forestier National (IFN), Institut National d'Horticulture d'Angers (INH), Institut National Polytechnique - Ecole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure d'Agronomie de Toulouse (INP-ENSAT), Institut Sup\u00e9rieur d'Agriculture de Lille (ISA), SCITERRE, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 du Canal de Provence et d'Am\u00e9nagement de la R\u00e9gion Proven\u00e7ale (SCP), Sol Info Rh\u00f4ne Alpes - Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes (SIRA),", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.15454/QSXKGA"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.15454/QSXKGA", "name": "item", "description": "10.15454/QSXKGA", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.15454/QSXKGA"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.2136/sssaj2005.0058", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:21:49Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2006-01-07", "description": "High grain production of corn (Zea mays L.) can be maintained by adding inorganic N fertilizer, and also by using crop rotations that include alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), but the relative impact of these management practices on soil quality is uncertain.

In an undisturbed prairie reference site for Nashua, low available N, low pH, and high CEC suggested a strong influence of the vegetation on nutrient cycling. In terms of management of soil fertility, inclusion of alfalfa in the rotation differed fundamentally from addition of N fertilizer because high yield was maintained with fewer adverse effects on soil quality.
