The objectives of this study were to (i) evaluate the effect of winter CC on nitrogen (N) supply to the subsequent maize crop, and to (ii) evaluate the effect of CC on soil cover and weed population. Three winter CC were evaluated: black oat (BO) (Avena strigosa Schieb), white lupin (WL) (Lupinus albus), and oilseed radish (OR) (Raphanus sativus L.), as single species and in a mix. The three CC mixes included: BO+WL; BO+OR; and OR+WL. In addition to CC treatments a set of five N application rates (0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 kg N ha-1) were included on plots under winter fallow (WF). The winter CC supplied plant-available N to the subsequent maize crop varying from 25 to 53 kg N ha-1 with BO and WL, respectively. The mix of CC varied less in N supply (38-42 kg N ha-1). Soil cover and weed suppression varied between CC. The results suggest that BO can be used to attain rapid soil cover. Black oats also provided better soil cover after CC flattening, likely due to the higher C:N ratio and slower residue decomposition. The higher C:N ratio may result in some N immobilization and reduced plant available N to the maize crop. However, BO also showed great weed suppression. Mixing CC is an alternative to merge the benefits of the individual species, enhancing the overall ecosystem services provided by them.","PeriodicalId":52991,"journal":{"name":"Investigacion Agraria","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67547615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise, it was taken in advantage information contained in patent Patenscope databases. On the exploitation of these secondary data, it was taken into consideration, the result of ethnographic work in the region. Over 86 selected plants and considering the species in the investigation were registered 4,668 patents applied for and 2,715 granted patents; The National Directorate of Intellectual Property (Dirección Nacional de Propiedad Intelectual DINAPI) does not register patent applications from residents. It was found that large pharmaceutical corporations and food industry do not recognize the fair and equitable compensation established in treaties. To this extent it can be assumed that these corporations respond to the logic of accumulation by dispossession of common goods.","PeriodicalId":52991,"journal":{"name":"Investigacion Agraria","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67547626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Permanent sample plots of 1 ha (100 x 100 m), divided into subunits of 100 m2 (10 x 10 m) were established for data collection. All trees with diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 10 cm were measured. Throughout the study period, 178 individuals from eight different species were recorded. The species Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco, Vachellia caven, Prosopis nigra and Prosopis affinis represent 82.58% of all individuals, which 54.49% comprise Prosopis genus only. Individuals were distributed in eight diameter classes, although 91.57% of them were from the first three diameter classes. An annual recruitment rate of 1.61% and a 0.70% mortality rate were observed. The average increase in DBH between the years 2001 and 2009 was 0.053 cm/year. The studied area showed a change in the dynamics with an annual recruitment rate greater than the mortality, indicating that the community is still growing.","PeriodicalId":52991,"journal":{"name":"Investigacion Agraria","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48261397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
