Inventory of species and breeds, their population sizes, geographic distribution and possibly their genetic diversity is generally undertaken as a first step in any national programme for the management of animal genetic resources for food and agriculture. The primary purpose of such an assessmen...

A broad set of climate-related variables were considered for inclusion in a quantitative model, which partitions geographic space into bioclimate regions. Statistical screening produced a subset of relevant bioclimate variables, which were further compacted into fewer independent dimensions using...

Governments in many countries are decentralising to give more control over decision making and budgets to local administrations. One expectation of this change is that local governments will more effectively and efficiently respond to the poorest citizens in their jurisdictions. Decentralisation ...


Introduction and rationale: Global soils contain about 2344 billion tons of organic carbon. This is the largest terrestrial pool of organic carbon. Small changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks could result in significant impacts on the global carbon balance. Trapping carbon in the soil cont...
