Balancing African Elephant Conservation with Human Well-Being in Rombo Area, Tanzania
(Hindawi Advances in Ecology, 2017-05-31)
The critical assessment of the nature and extent of human-elephant conflict (HEC) and its impact on conservation efforts are
essential if we are to meet the challenges related to extinction of local population, as well ...
Modelling habitat conversion in miombo woodlands: insights from Tanzania
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017-05-29)
Understanding the drivers of natural habitat conversion is a major challenge,
yet predicting where future losses may occur is crucial to preventing
them. Here, we used Bayesian analysis to model spatio-temporal
patterns ...
How dynamics and drivers of land use/land cover change impact elephant conservation and agricultural livelihood development in Rombo, Tanzania.
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017)
Land use/ land cover (LULC) change affects the provision of ecosystem services for humans and habitat for wildlife. Hence, it is crucial to monitor LULC particularly adjacent to protected areas. In this study, we measured ...
Effects of intercropping systems and Rhizobium inoculation on yields of maize (Zea mays) and two legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos lablab)
(International Journal of Biosciences, 2017-02-28)
This study aimed to assess the effect of intercropping systems, Rhizobium inoculation and legumes on yield
components and grain yields of maize and two legumes. To achieve this objective, field experiments were
executed ...
Human population growth as indicator for human-elephant conflicts in Rombo area, Tanzania
(Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES), 2017-04-17)
Conservationists need detailed information on human population growth and distribution in areas adjacent to
protected areas. This information can help determine land use/land cover changes (LULCC), which affect the
quality ...
Invasive plants: ecological effects, status, management challenges in Tanzania and the way forward
(Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES), 2017-03-31)
Over decades invasive plants have been exerting negative pressure on native vascular plant’s and hence devastating
the stability and productivity of the receiving ecosystem. These effects are usually irreversible if ...
Efficacy of land use designation in protecting habitat in the miombo woodlands: Insights from Tanzania
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-03-17)
Loss of natural landscapes surrounding major conservation areas compromise their future and threaten long-term conservation. We evaluate the effectiveness of fully and lesser protected areas within Katavi-Rukwa and ...
