Live fences and landscape connectivity in a neotropical agricultural landscape
Agroforestry Systems, 2006Live fences are common elements in neotropical agricultural landscapes and could play important roles in the conservation of biodiversity by enhancing landscape connectivity, however, little is known about their abundance and spatial arrangement. The objectives of this study were to characterize the abundance and spatial patterns of live fences in a ...

Live fences – a hidden resource of soil fertility in West Kenya
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, 2014AbstractIn the highlands of Western Kenya, intensified land use combined with low use of mineral fertilizers at farm level is driving soil nutrient depletion and declining yield levels. All farms and individual field crop plots are surrounded by life fences and the area under such hedge structure is estimated to cover 3–5% of the total farmland area ...

Live fences in Ségou, Mali : an evaluation by their early users
Agroforestry Systems, 2004Market-oriented production of gardening crops and cassava (Manihot utilissima) in the dry season is an increasingly frequent practice in Segou, Mali. Traditionally, these crops are protected from roaming livestock with the help of dead fences. In order to provide a sustainable alternative to dead fences, the International Centre for Research in ...

This article introduces Live-Out Register Fencing (LoRF), a soft error correction mechanism that uses the novel Spill Register File as a container of checkpointing data. LoRF’s Spill Register File holds the values shared among basic blocks in the program, and, coupled with a new compilation strategy, LoRF allows for

Live Fence Posts in Costa Rica
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 1993Live fence posts are widely used in Costa Rica and other Cenhal American countries as a sustainable agricultural practice. The Costa Rican farmers' empirical knowledge was compiled through a questionnaire, field measurements and literature review. Ninety two species used for live fences were recorded and tabulated. The management practices (preparation
