Contemporary Aboriginal savanna burning projects in Arnhem Land: a regional description and analysis of the fire management aspirations of Traditional Owners

open access: yes, 2020
The growth of the carbon industry in Australia over the last decade has seen an increase in the number of eligible offsets projects utilising the savanna burning methods in northern Australia.

Detecting animals in African Savanna with UAVs and the crowds [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv.org, 2017
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer new opportunities for wildlife monitoring, with several advantages over traditional field-based methods. They have readily been used to count birds, marine mammals and large herbivores in different environments ...

Effects of large herbivores on murid rodents in a South African savanna [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Our study presents experimentally based results on how large herbivore species affect savanna vegetation and thus murid rodents in the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Analysis of genotype by environment interaction for grain yield of intermediate maturing drought tolerant top-cross maize hybrids under rain-fed conditions

open access: yesCogent Food & Agriculture, 2017
Maize plays a crucial role in combating food insecurity in Ghana due to its high yield potential and wide adaptability. Thirty five intermediate maturing maize hybrids were evaluated at eight locations in Ghana for two years (i) to determine grain yield ...

Stability of Sources of Resistance to Cowpea Aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch, Hemiptera: Aphididae) across Major Cowpea Production Zones in Ghana

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agronomy, 2020
Aphids (Aphis craccivora Koch) are an important vegetative stage pest of cowpea in Africa. The use of resistant cultivars is among the best management option for this pest, but the success of this strategy is influenced by the stability of the resistant ...

Postharvest losses and mitigating technologies: evidence from Upper East Region of Ghana

open access: yesSustainable Futures, 2021
Post-harvest losses (PHL) have been identified as a crucial challenge to achieving food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa. Access to reliable data and standardized methods of estimating PHL are a twin barrier to developing long term mitigation

Diallel Analysis and Heritability of Grain Yield, Yield Components, and Maturity Traits in Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2020
Information on combining ability and reciprocal effects (REC) facilitates efficient utilization of genetic materials in a breeding program. This study was conducted (at the CSIR-Savanna Agricultural Research Institute, Ghana) to determine general ...

Pattern Formation in Mesic Savannas

open access: yesBulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2023
AbstractWe analyze a spatially extended version of a well-known model of forest-savanna dynamics, which presents as a system of nonlinear partial integro-differential equations, and study necessary conditions for pattern-forming bifurcations. Homogeneous solutions dominate the dynamics of the standard forest-savanna model, regardless of the length ...

Genetic characterization and population structure of maize populations using SSR markers

open access: yesAnnals of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Maize is a major staple food in sub-Saharan Africa. However, due to the threats posed by biotic and abiotic constraints to its production, it is a prerequisite to conserve germplasm with diverse genetic background and to seek for favourable genotypes ...

Exploring gender differences in trait preferences among groundnut value chain actors in northern Ghana

open access: yesAgriculture & Food Security, 2023
Assessing gender differences in trait preferences of groundnut value chain actors can influence the effectiveness of crop breeding programs, the adoption of developed technologies, and policy interventions.
