Lavaka (erosional gullies) provide productive patch environments for flora and farming in Madagascar's grassy highlands

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 287-303, March 2024.
Erosion of lavaka, large gullies in Madagascar, can cause problems, but these features also have beneficial aspects. They provide plant refugia and commonly host species that would otherwise not thrive on the grassy uplands. Farmers sometimes make use of lavaka to plant crops that require more protection or soil moisture.
