“Central” and “peripheral” adaptation pathways of entangled agrifood systems transformations
In the agrifood systems of developing countries, local adaptation actions and pathways often interact with other climate and development responses, creating new trade-offs, uncertainties, and potentially maladaptive outcomes. While knowledge on the interacting pathways of adaptation is expanding, previous studies have focused on complex systems dynamics, and studies that address...

Soil Microfauna - Mycorrhizal Community in Soil
Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) are soil microorganisms that can form mutualistic relationships with most terrestrial plants. The AMF spores germinate, infect the root system, and form arbuscules structures inside the cells serving as sites for nutrient exchange between the plant and the fungi.
Depending on the plant species, growing practices,...
