Total P absorption (Pt) by soybean and P accumulation (Pa) in soybean organs decreased significantly (P 〈 0.05) under the intercropping in contrast to the monoculture. With intercropping, when ^32p was applied in topsoil (15 cm soil layer), total ^32p absorption (^32pt) in soybeans was significantly lower (P 〈 0.05), but when ^32p was applied to deeper soil layers (35 or 55 cm soil layer), ^32pt in soybeans was significantly greater (P 〈 0.05). The percentage of P in leaves to total P (Pa/Pt) and 32p in leaves to total ^32p (^32pa/^32pt) for soybean were ≥ 25% and those of root ≥ 12%. When P was applied ia topsoil and 55 cm soil layer, no significant differences were found between intercropping and monoculture for Pt of citrus. The P absorbed by citrus was transferred rapidly to the growing organs of aboveground during the experiment, and the speed of transferring to the growing organs slowed when P was applied to the deeper soil layers. In intercropping, P mobility was heightened in the soil profile, and P in deeper soil layers moved up to topsoil more rapidly.展开更多

Establishment of nature reserves may however generate constraints for development of local communities residing in these reserves. The village ecosystem of Zhuanjinglou Village in Wolong Nature Reserve includes population, farming and livestock (domestic and alpine) and forest ecosystem. An emergy analysis of agro-ecosystem (including the farming and livestock ecosystem) and energy consumption in Zhuanjinglou Village indicates that livestock ecosystem plays an important role in village ecosystem, which may be the source of great pressure on the state of the local environment. The increasing ratio of electricity in energy consumption may play a positive role for environmental conservation. Despite some successful experiences, there are some remaining issues that need to be addressed in the ecological rehabilitation of the village ecosystem.展开更多

The aims of this research are to study the possibility of some species of industrial woods as shade trees of Coffea canephora. The research was conducted in Jember, Indonesia (45 m asl., D rainfall type according to Schmidt and Ferguson), and arranged in split plot design. The main plots were (A) coffee-T, grandis (3 m × 2.5 m ×12 m), (B) coffee-P, falcataria single row (2.5 m ×6 m), (C) coffee-P, falcataria double rows (3 m× 2.5 m × 12 m), (D) coffee-P, falcataria vat. Solomon (3 m× 2.5 m × 12 m), (E) coffee-M, azedarach (3 m ×5 m ×22.5 m), (F) coffee-H, macrophyllus (3 m ×5 m ×12.5 m), and (G) coffee-Leucaena sp. (3 m × 2.5 m) as control. The sub plots were coffee clones, i.e., BP 534, BP 409, BP 936, dan BP 939. Among those timber trees, Leucaena was planted as the alternative shade trees. The result showed that in comparison with control, all of coffee agroforestry system improved carbon sequestration. Total C-stock on (B) was highest, i.e., 1,007 percent to control while the lowest one was (A) 317.44% to control. During one year observation, litter weight of H. macrophyllus was heaviest followed by T. grandis. The lightest litter was obtained from M. azedarach. Based on its mineral contents, litters of T. grandis potentially supplied back nutrients that equaled to total Urea, SP-36, KC1, Dolomite, and Kieserite as much as 574.14 g; P. falcataria 287.57 g, P. falcataria var. Solomon 453.59 g, M. azedarach 450.84 g, H. macrophyllus 877.56 g, and Leucaena 445.12 g per tree per year. Because of heavily fallen leaves of M. azedarach during dry season and conversely too dense shading of H. macrophyllus, bean yield at 4 and 5 years old by using both species were consistently lower than that under T. grandis, P. falcataria and control. At those ages, effect of clone on cherry yield was still not consistent but there was a tendency that BP 939 was most productive, while BP 534 was the less. Its outturn was not influenced by agroforestry system but by clones. The agroforestry pattern influence physical bean characters, more dense of shading, more single bean and empty bean. That bean abnormality also genetically, on BP 939 percentage of round and empty bean was highest while on BP 936 was lowest. It was concluded that coffee agroforestry improve ecology service, but M. azedarach and H. macrophyllus were not appropriate to be used as coffee shade trees. P. falcataria is recommended as an alternative shade tree beside Leucaena sp.展开更多

Meanwhile, the development of eco-agriculture is inseparable from its technical support. At present, the eco-agricultural technologies commonly used in China can be divided into three categories according to their theoretical basis and practical types: the technologies used to realize the precision input of material resources, the technologies used to improve material circulation efficiency, and the technologies that use the principle of species symbiosis. Although these technologies provide essential support for developing eco-agriculture in China, there are also problems associated with their implementation, such as poor technical application and a low level of industrialization. Therefore, in the future development of eco-agriculture technology in China, the technologies producers should take the actual problems as guide and pay attention to the popularization, industrialization, and application of the technologies.展开更多
