Biomass production and nutrient accumulation by Tephrosia vogelii (Hemsley) A. Gray and Tothonia diversifolia Hook F. fallows during the six-month growth period at Maseno, Western Kenya [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 1999
Two planted fallows namely, Tephrosia vogelii Hook F. and Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsley) A. Gray, a natural fallow and a Zea mays L. crop were grown on N and P depleted soils at Maseno in Kenya during a period of six months.

Cultivated and Fallow Land in the Highlands of Cañar (Ecuadorean South Andes): Effects of Farmer Emigration on an Agrarian Landscape

open access: yesRevue de Géographie Alpine, 2019
On the threshold of the 21st century, Ecuador entered the darkest economic period in the history of its republic, resulting in a vast migratory movement to foreign countries. In the high Andes valley of Cañar, the speed and extent of the movement seemed,

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Effects of sowing measures on weeds and yield of organically grown wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Weed control by harrowing is an essential measure in organically grown cereals, but it is also known to be less effective against perennial weeds. Such problems might be solved by using a more effective hoeing which needs wider row spaces.

Starving or Stuffing? Plasticity in Wild Boar Body Mass Variations During Summer in a Mediterranean Area

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Assessing drivers of population dynamics helps to mitigate human–wildlife conflicts. In Mediterranean areas, summer aridity reduces resources, potentially affecting ungulates' body condition and reproduction. In a mixed forested‐rural area, wild boar female body mass increased throughout summer in rainy‐mild years and decreased in hot‐dry years.

Temporal Responses to Warming: Do Wild Herbivores Trade Off Heat, Predators, and Humans?

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We untangled how summer temperature, predators, and humans influenced behavioral responses in two deer species. Both reduced their daily activity level in response to warming, yet only roe deer increased nocturnality to avoid heat. Conversely, fallow deer traded off heat avoidance with predator avoidance.

Uncovering the Process of Sexual Segregation: Male Early‐Life Individual Tactics Shape Its Onset and Affect Phenotypic Quality in a Large Mammal

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Early‐life traits significantly influence sexual segregation patterns and phenotypic quality in male fallow deer. Males in better condition and those more risk‐prone left natal groups earlier with fewer returns to natal groups. However, males with frequent excursions back to natal groups compensated for initial body condition disadvantages.

Changes in Allocation of Land Holdings, Production and Farm Size in the Rwandan Smallholder Sector Over the Period 1984/1990 to 2002 [PDF]

open access: yes
There have been major shifts/changes in land use patterns in Rwanda over the past twelve years. A few striking observations include: As a percentage of total farmland, cultivated land increased.

Gaming and simulation to mitigate land use conflict between herders and foresters in northern Thailand highlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In the remote highland forest-farmland ecosystem of Doi Tiew, a Hmong village in Tha Wang Pha District of Nan province, Northern Thailand a land use conflict is taking place between the local herders and two government agencies (Nanthaburi National Park ...
