Livestock are an important component of farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa. They are raised mainly for meat, milk and skin and provide a flexible financial reserve in years of crop failure. They also play a critical role in the agricultural intensification process by providing draft power and ...


Ehui, Simeon K.Jabbar, M.A.[Measuring the sustainability of crop-livestock systems in sub-Saharan Africa: methods and data requirements]Measuring the sustainability of crop-livestock systems in sub-Saharan Africa: methods and data requirements

The relationships between annual wood stable carbon isotope composition (δ13C), dry season midday plant water potential, and annual growth rate were investigated to asses the ability of agroforestry species to adapt to climate changes. 6–8 stem disks from four co-occurring species (Acacia senegal...
