Relationships between soil seed banks and above-ground vegetation along a disturbance gradient in the W National Park trans-boundary biosphere reserve, West Africa
Aims
Vegetation succession depends on the availability of suitable propagules
in the soils, thus knowledge of soil seed banks is essential
for formulating effective strategies for restoring the vegetation of
degraded sites. ...
Combining ability patterns among West African pearl millet landracesand prospects for pearl millet hybrid breeding
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important hybrid crop in India. However, to date limitedpearl millet hybrid development has been undertaken in West Africa (WA), which is the center of pearlmillet origin ...
Perspectives in restoration: storage and pretreatments of seeds for better germination of Sudanian savanna-woodland species
Insufficient knowledge of the germination
ecology of local species is one of the main constraints to
restoration of degraded rural lands. We tested seeds from
fourteen Sudanian savanna species targeted for restoration
for ...
Soil organic carbon stocks in semi-arid West African drylands: implications for climate change adaptation and mitigation
In the West African drylands, SOC sequestration is seen as one of the prominent strategies to both enhance the resilience of agro-ecosystems and mitigate global greenhouse effects. However, there is a dearth of baseline ...
