A study was carried out to
investigate the effects of fire related cues (heat and smoke) and sulphuric acid treatments on the germination
of four woody savanna species, namely, Terminalia avicennioides, Piliostigma thonningii, ...
Ecosystem management can mitigate vegetation shifts induced byclimate change in West Africa
tThe welfare of people in the tropics and sub-tropics strongly depends on goods and services that savannaecosystems supply, such as food and livestock production, fuel wood, and climate regulation. Flows ofthese services ...
