Most forests in Sri Lanka are secondary, are mostly confined to the dry and intermediate zones of the country, and arise out of swidden agriculture. The majority of secondary forests which regenerate after swidden farming in the dry parts of Sri Lanka are grown from vegetative parts, that are fro...

Most climate change scenarios predict a significant increase in the frequency of high intensity rainfall events especially in the dry areas, which will increase runoff and soil erosion. Understanding the factors that control soil erosion is crucial to recommending appropriate measures to protect ...

In studies of 25 rangeland sites selected along the S.-N. bioclimatic gradient and on the main soil types in the Gourma (Sahel, Mali), herbage cover, standing mass and botanical composition were measured in relation to seasonality of grazing and grazing intensity. When different sites were compar...
