Long-term annual burning of grassland increases CO2 emissions from soils
Grasslands have potential to mitigate against climate change because of their large capacity to store soil organic
carbon (SOC). However, the long-term impact of grassland management such as burning, which is still common
in ...
Congruence of appropriation and provision in collective water provision in Central Namibia
Achieving cooperation in natural resource management is always
a challenge when incentives exist for an individual to maximise her short term
benefits at the cost of a group. We study a public good social dilemma in ...
Spatial Variation in Tree Density and Estimated Aboveground Carbon Stocks in Southern Africa
Variability in woody plant species, vegetation assemblages and anthropogenic activities derails the efforts to have common approaches for estimating biomass and carbon stocks in Africa. In order to suggest management ...
Potential of grassland rehabilitation through high density-short duration grazing to sequester atmospheric carbon
According to the World Resources Institute (2000), a relative increase of carbon (C) stocks in world soils by 0.4% per year would be
sufficient to compensate all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Several land management ...
Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic
coordinates ...
Selective organic carbon losses from soils by sheet erosion and main controls
Although the impact of sheet erosion on the selective transportation of mineral soil particles has beenwidely investigated,
little is yet known about the specific mechanisms of organic carbon (OC) erosion, which constitutes ...
