Agricultural water productivity across landscape positions and management alternatives
In the arid, low biomass producing areas of Ethiopia, Acacia woodlands suffered a severe degradation due to exploitation for various uses, and conversion to grazing and cultivated lands. However, little is known on the impact of agricultural land uses on soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen ...

The use of local by-products for formulating diets in tropical African countries
Goat production in Swaziland is characterized by low offtake resulting from lack of management of rangelands and seasonal fluctuations in feed resources. Periodic droughts and extensive dry spells in winter which cause nutritional stress result in low productivity of the goats. The aim of the stu...
