Influence of putative forest refugia and biogeographic barriers on the level and distribution of genetic variation in an African savannah tree, Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A. Juss
Phylogeographic studies of tropical and subtropical
tree species provide an ideal method to study the role of forest
refugia in the structuring of genetic diversity in contemporary
populations. To date, most studies have ...
Length of Growing Period over Africa: Variability and Trends from 30 Years of NDVI Time Series
The spatial distribution of crops and farming systems in Africa is determined by the duration of the period during which crop and livestock water requirements are met. The length of growing period (LGP) is normally assessed ...
Early assessment of seasonal forage availability for mitigating the impact of drought on East African pastoralists
Pastoralist households across East Africa face major livestock losses during drought periods that can cause persistent
poverty. For Kenya and southern Ethiopia, an existing index insurance scheme aims to reduce the ...
Data on how tree planting and management practices influence tree seedling survival in Kenya and Ethiopia
Understanding which trees farmers prefer, what determines their survival and enhancing farmer knowledge of tree management is key to increasing tree cover in agricultural landscapes. This article presents data on tree ...
A Multivariate Analysis of Factors Affecting Adoption of Improved Varieties of Multiple Crops: A Case Study from Ethiopian Highlands
This paper analyzes the synergies/tradeoffs involved in the adoption of improved varieties of
multiple crops in the mixed crop-livestock production systems of the highlands of Ethiopia A
multivariate probit (MVP) model ...
Trait‐based approaches for guiding the restoration of degraded agricultural landscapes in East Africa
1. Functional ecology provides a framework that can link vegetation characteristics of various land uses with ecosystem function. However, this application has been mostly limited to [semi‐]natural systems and small spatial ...
Early assessment of seasonal forage availability for mitigating the impact of drought on East African pastoralists
Pastoralist households across East Africa face major livestock losses during drought periods that can cause persistent poverty. For Kenya and southern Ethiopia, an existing index insurance scheme aims to reduce the ...
A Brief Guide for Research Engagement with Development Partners
There is growing demand on agricultural research institutions to deliver development outcomes and
impacts that are tractable and measurable within a reasonable time frame. In the conventional ...
