STREK is an acronym of "Development of Silvicultural Techniques for the Regeneration of logged-over rain forets in East Kalimantan". The objectives of this project were to develop management rules leading to sustained productivity of the forests in this area, which are the main suppliers of wood ...
Land degradation, low agricultural productivity and poverty are major problems in Ethiopia. The existing resources cannot support the growing human and livestock population. Currently, there is an increasing interest among researchers and development experts in leguminous multipurpose trees and s...

More effective control of the tsetse fly in Africa will reduce constraints imposed by the livestock disease, trypanosomiasis. Trypanosomiasis lowers livestock productivity, and in some areas, may limit the ability of farmers to keep livestock and plough the land using animal traction. Control of ...

Aim
To delineate bioregions in tropical Africa and determine whether different plant growth forms (trees, terrestrial herbs, lianas and shrubs) display the same pattern of regionalization, diversity and endemism as the whole flora.
Location
Tropical Africa (excl. Madagascar), from 20° N to 25° S...
Use-values have been advocated as a tool to compare the value of not just individual species, but also of plant families and forest types to local people, e.g. to identify species or habitats in need of special management or conservation. We estimated use-values in three forest types (upper resti...
