Tree and crop fine root distribution and belowground competition as affected by a climatic gradient in agroforestry parkland systems in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Abstract:This research assessed precipitation increase along a climactic gradient effect on tree and crop root length densities and belowground competition in parklands systems of Vitellaria paradoxa C. F Gaertn, Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Benth with Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench for formulating parklands management options improving crop productivity. Field experiments were conducted at three sites along an increasing rainfall gradient. Soil samples were taken, roots were washed and sorted by categories and root length de… Show more
