Fritters are flour-based snacks made from wheat flour, but a cheaper alternative is needed in a developing economy, such as Zambia, owing to the high cost of wheat. This study aimed at evaluating fritters produced from different sources: fresh cassava roots, high-quality cassava flour (HQCF), and...

Increasing demand for food and fibre by the growing human population is driving significant land use (LU) change from forest into intensively managed land systems in tropical areas. But empirical evidence on the extent to which such changes affect the soil-atmosphere exchange of trace gases is st...
