Effect of land management on incorporation of prickly pear crop residues in different soil organic matter fractions of a Sicilian soil under desertification risk Open
The return of organic amendments and plants residues to the soil is a fundamental measure for carbon (C) accrual in soil, in particular in agroecosystems of Southern Mediterranean areas, where aridity limits plant growth and litter inputs …
