Shifting cultivation in decline: An analysis of soil fertility and weed pressure in intensified crop

The study "Shifting Cultivation in Decline: An Analysis of Soil Fertility and Weed Pressure in Intensified Cropping Systems in Eastern Amazon" examines the impacts of the transition from traditional shifting cultivation to more intensified cropping systems in the Eastern Amazon region. As shifting cultivation declines, the focus has shifted to understanding how soil fertility is being affected by these intensified practices, as well as the growing issue of weed pressure. The analysis provides insights into the sustainability of these systems and their long-term impact on the environment, local ecosystems, and agricultural productivity. The findings are crucial for formulating policies aimed at sustainable land use, soil health, and weed management in the region.
