https://hdl.handle.net/10568/107070
Abstract
Grasslands occupy almost half of the world's land area. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator of soil fertility and grassland productivity. Increasing SOC stocks (so‐called SOC sequestration) improves soil fertility and contributes to climate change mitigation by binding atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110770
Abstract
Most research on P. guajava has been oriented to analyze nutritional composition of the fruits and some are related to the use of pre-germinative treatments for the release of seed dormancy in some genetic materials. However, no protocols have been developed that allow the determination of the viability of the seed; by…

Abstract
Genomic selection (GS) can accelerate variety improvement when training set (TS) size and its relationship with the breeding set (BS) are optimized for prediction accuracies (PAs) of genomic prediction (GP) models. Sixteen GP algorithms were run on phenotypic best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) and estimators…
