Yield stability of water yam (Dioscorea alata L) landraces compared to improved varieties across multiple environments and their culinary qualities in the Republic of Benin

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In the Republic of Benin, the fresh yam market has two key periods: a time of high availability from August to February, followed by a scarcity from March to July. Fortunately, when Dioscorea rotundata fresh tubers become scarce and expensive, Dioscorea alata (commonly known as Agaabidjan/ Florido) pervades the market and provides a

Improved photoprotection in the UVA/visible radiation boundary region is essential to prevent DNA damage, oxidative stress and gene expression changes in human skin

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Studies have demonstrated the potential for damage caused by exposure to radiation at the UVR/visible border region (380–410 nm) and beyond. This includes potentially mutagenic delayed DNA damage, increased gene expression related to photoageing and inflammation, pigmentation and the production of reaction oxygen species ...

Factors associated with survival, recovery, and movements in the western Gulf Coast population of mottled ducks

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated associations among biological, environmental, and anthropogenic factors and survival, recovery, and post‐summer movements for the western Gulf Coast population of mottled ducks in Louisiana and Texas during 1997‐2020. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the factors influencing demographic performance, harvest, and movements

Effects of (Assisted) Natural Regeneration on Infiltrability and Preferential Flow Pathways in the Khasi Hills (Meghalaya, NE India)

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1564-1578, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Intensified slash‐and‐burn cultivation and forest clearing have caused severe land degradation in the Khasi Hills (Meghalaya plateau, NE India). Despite very high annual rainfall, the region faces severe water scarcity during the dry season.

Grazing Affects Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Directly and Indirectly Through Herbaceous Species Diversity in Sahelian Savanna Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of livestock grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the Sahel has been poorly documented due to a lack of data from different grazing intensities. This study evaluated SOC stocks under four grazing intensities within 0–30 cm soil depth in dry savanna ecosystems of Senegal.

Community and Institutional Drivers of Deforestation, Environmental Impacts, and Extension Interventions for Forest Management in the Hindu Kush Himalaya

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deforestation in Pakistan's mountainous regions, particularly in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), presents significant environmental, social, and economic challenges. Despite various control measures, deforestation persists due to institutional weaknesses and community pressures.

Sixty Years of Sugarcane Monoculture Alters Carbon Preservation in Large Soil Macroaggregates in Tropical Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frequent and intensive tillage in conventional agriculture disrupts soil aggregates, engendering significant depletion of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Long‐term studies are essential for assessing the impact of sustainable practices on aggregate dynamics and carbon sequestration in sugarcane monocropping in tropical ecosystems.
