Forests are biologically diverse systems, representing some of the richest biological areas on Earth. They offer a variety of habitats for plants, animals and micro-organisms. However, forest biodiversity is increasingly threatened as a result of deforestation, fragmentation, climate change and other stressors. Biodiversity is the variation of life forms within a given ecosystem, biome, or on t...

Trees used in agroforestry practices, such as windbreaks, provide a variety of ecosystem benefits and are recognized globally as an important land use. However, efforts to inventory and monitor agroforestry land use have been sporadic, short-lived, or focused on small spatial extents. There are a variety of satellite-derived datasets that provide information about tree cover over broad spatial ...

Forest to oil palm plantations conversion has changed soil's physical properties significantly. It caused significant changes in the hydrological cycle and affects water resources around research site. One of strategies that could minimize negative impact monoculture is better plantation management by implementing a mixed cropping system (agroforestry). This study aims analyze infiltration, sur...

Increasingly, agroforestry is being promoted to smallholders as a method adapt and mitigate climate change while addressing socio-economic limitations. Promoting practices requires organizations have competent staff with requisite knowledge, skills, abilities (KSAs) for their roles. This study examined perceived competency training needs among international workers promoting agroforestry. A Ran...

Range pastures constitute the major source of livestock feeds throughout year in grazing areas Uganda. However, pasture yields have been declining overtime, yet there is limited information on efforts improving productivity through soil moisture conservation and nutrient management. This study assessed management practices used by farmers, sources information, constraints hindering adoption pot...

Introduction Agroforestry plays a vital role in maintaining and developing the resilience productivity of farms landscapes. Scientific evidence from Sahel region suggests that integration trees shrubs has potential to improve temperature moisture levels whilst providing bio-based fertilizer contributes increased yields annual crops. However, little is known about factors influence diffusion agr...

The microbiomes of organisms are fast becoming thoroughly studied by the development of next-generation sequencing techniques. As hundreds of strains can be identified within hours, the research on microbial com...

Agroforestry systems can be an effective means of stabilizing or even enhancing crop yields under climate change. Although trees compete with crops for soil resources in agroforestry,they also improve crops' growing conditions, especially, by providing shade drought. They promote higher and harvest quality the drylands. However, beneficial effect tree may depend on seasonal pattern rainfall, wh...
