Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Different Land‐Use Systems: A Case Study of CO2 in the Southern Zone of Ghana

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) results in global warming and climate change. The extent to which developing countries contribute to GHG emissions is not well known. This study reports findings on the effects of different land‐use systems on GHG emissions (CO2 in this case) from two locations in the southern zone of Ghana, West Africa. Site one

Wetlands invaded by Pneumatopteris afra (Christ.) Holttum are less diverse and more threatened than non-invaded ones in Nigeria [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020
We compared the diversity indices of wetlands invaded by a fern, Pneumatopteris afra, and those that were not invaded. Six wetlands chosen for this study were each the size of 500×500 m2 which included 3 invaded and 3 non-invaded wetlands.

Allelopathic Activity of the Hydrolate and Water Decoction of Brachiaria humidicola (Rendle) Plant Parts on the Germination of Four Tropical Leguminous Species

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Knowledge of allelopathic interactions between grasses and legumes can contribute for the successful establishment of mixed tropical pastures in Brazil. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the allelopathic effect of the hydrolate and water decoction of Brachiaria humidicola (Rendle) plant parts (root, shoot, and seeds) on four tropical forage ...
