Topsoil thickness impact on corn, soybean, and switchgrass productivity and soil nutrient management
Topsoil thickness, or depth to claypan (DTC), is a major contributing factor to variability in corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max [L.]) yield, profit, and nutrient dynamics on claypan soils. Understanding how and when DTC affects these factors across the landscape is crucial for improving …

A critical evaluation of the 1964 preferencial agreement (Labour agreement) for Mozambique mineworkers in the light of the South Africa - Mozambique DTC and the SADC treaty
In 1964, a labour agreement was signed between the governments of South Africa and Portugal on behalf of its colony, Mozambique, to regulate the migration of Mozambican mineworkers to South African mines. In terms of this agreement the Mozambican mineworkers who received income on the South African …
