Plant residual is of great importance in retarding soil wind erosion the agro-pastoral ecotone. However, few studies have determined effects sand plant on resistance. Based field surveys, influences Salix biomass 200, 400, 600, and 800 g m ?2 , incorporated with a thickness 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 cm, typical proportion branches leaves (2:1, 1:1, 1:2) resistance were investigated using simulated tunnel. ...

The Vaganov–Shashkin process-based model was used to explore the variation characteristic of radial growth rate Pinus tabulaeformis in agro-pastoral transition zone northern China. tree-ring width chronologies four sampling sites were significantly positively correlated with simulated series (p < 0.01), and onset end dates tree indicated that April October main growing season. Temperature af...

This paper evaluates the impact on greenhouse gas emissions of beef produced under different management systems and compares these results with the estimated biophysical capital alteration of these same systems. The environmental impacts of a specific intensive US feedlot system and a traditional African pastoral system are calculated using a methodology that includes the major land-use and ene...

This study was conducted in Maale district Southwest Ethiopia with the objective of evaluating productive and reproductive performance goats under agro-pastoral management conditions. Thirty households that have flocks numbers more than ten were purposely selected monitored from July 2018 to 2019. Growth data birth weight, three month, six nine month yearly weight; type parity collected. The an...

Wind erosion plays a major role in land degradation semi-arid areas, especially the Sahel. There, wind is as sensitive to use and management climate factors. Future intensification may increase induce regional degradation. We aimed estimate responses changing Sahelian region. defined scenarios for study site southwestern Niger two historical situations (1950s 1990s), alternative prospective (20...
