Reviews procedures for obtaining reliable information on animal populations, other ecological features and land use generally from low-flying aircraft by direct observation or conventional photography, with reference to types of sampling unit, and the relative merits of unstratified systematic an...
Little is known about the residual effects of crop residue (CR) and phosphorus (P) application on the fallow vegetation following repeated cultivation of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] in the Sahel. The objective of this study, therefore, was (i) to measure residual effects of CR, ...
