In North African dryland research, few recognize that phosphorus (P) is the main soil nutrient limiting plant growth for legumes, in particular. P-fertilisation of legume reseedings could boost biological N-fixation and N-yield through enhanced biomass production, which, in turn, can benefit the...

When grass species are used to reseed depleted drylands, grazing is often prescribed during the establishment phase. Total protection from grazing often leads to the presence of persistent weed species and is hard to accept by land users keen to graze reseeded land as soon as possible. The...
