A Maize Experiment in a Traditional Zuni Agroecosystem
Maize has sustained the Zuni and other people in the arid American Southwest for many generations. In the traditional Zuni dryland agricultural system, fields are carefully placed on valley-edge landforms to tap into watershed hydrologic and ecosystem processes. In these geomorphic positions, field soils are managed to receive supplemental water and nutrients for crops by retaining storm runoff transported from adjoining uplands. Crop experiments…
Biogeochemical studies of a Native American runoff agroecosystem
Research on soil fertility is presented in the context of runoff agriculture, a venerable farming system that has been used for millennia in arid to semiarid regions, where water is a major limiting resource for crop production. The agroecology of runoff farming was studied with the Zuni to evaluate nutrient and hydrologic processes, management, maize productivity, and soil quality in some of the oldest recognized fields in the United States. Thi…
Mesa Verde Settlement History and Relocation
At the beginning of the thirteenth century A.D., the Mesa Verde region was densely inhabited by Ancestral Pueblo peoples. By the end of that century, Ancestral Pueblo peoples no longer permanently inhabited the region. We present detailed reconstructions of precipitation based on tree rings from five geographic subregions of Ancestral Pueblo occupation (Mesa Verde, Tsegi/Kayenta, Chama, Cibola, and Santa Fe) and a consideration of distributions o…
