Is Discrimination of 13C in potato leaflets and tubers an appropriate trait to describe genotype responses to restrictive and well-watered conditions?
Selection for drought tolerance entails prioritizing plant traits that integrate critical physiological processes occurring during crop growth. Discrimination against 13C (Δ) in leaflets (Δleaflet) and tubers (Δtuber) was ...
Managing rangelands: promoting sustainable tree species - Leucaena leucocephala
Leucaena leucocephala: A versatile tree producing nutritious fodder for ruminants.
Overgrazing in rangelands can accelerate the loss of important forage plants and contribute to the proliferation of non-palatable weeds. ...
Morphological and physiological responses of halophytes: Atriplex halimus, A. lentiformis, A. nummularia, Amaranthus caudatus and Chenopodium quinoa Willd. to increasing levels of salinity
7 % of the world’s agricultural lands are adversely affected by salinity, a state that makes them less capable of supporting agricultural systems. Assessing growth and physiological mechanisms associated with high tolerance ...
Managing rangelands: promoting sustainable tree species - Acacia modesta
Acacia modesta: A frost-resistant and drought-tolerant tree ideal foralleviating feed shortages and feeding costs.
Climate change and intensive grazing due to increasing livestock numbers are severely affecting arid and ...
How Landscape Level Governance and Land Use Planning are Connected: Insights from Case Studies in Marsabit, Isiolo and Makueni
The present document consists of a workshop presentation in which are illustrated three different studies from three different projects, focused on natural resource governance, but all relevant to land use planning.
New winter wheat varieties for improving productivity on saline fields in Central Asia
Wheat productivity is being adversely impacted by rising soil salinity in the fields of Central Asia, as a consequence of climate change and many other factors. Salinity reduces grain yield and negatively influences many ...
Assessing the Vulnerability of Rangeland Ecosystems to Global Climate Change In the Dryland Areas of the Middle East and North Africa Region
Climate change projections provide little information on how this risk might affect rangeland
plant communities in specific regions. Rangelands are by far the most widespread land use type
in the dry areas, and are home ...
