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 ...
Woody Encroachment Extent and Its Associated Impacts on Plant and Herbivore Species Occurrence in Maswa Game Reserve, Tanzania
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2019-07-26)
Habitat degradation caused by woody plant encroachment has been a common phenomenon in savanna ecosystems.
An increasing woody plant cover in open grassland reduces grazing grounds and, consecutively, impacts
mammalian ...
Demonstrative effects of crude extracts of Desmodium spp. to fight against the invasive weed species Tagetes minuta
(Elsevier, 2016)
Threats on native flora and fauna by invasive plant species represent one of the main conservation and management
challenges in rangelands. Methods that are both effective and ecologically safe to suppress invasives ...
Decline in maize and beans production in the face of climate change at Hai District in Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2015)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how climatic change in Africa is expected to lead to a
higher occurrence of severe droughts in semiarid and arid ecosystems. Understanding how crop
productions react to such ...
A deconvolutional Bayesian mixing model approach for river basin sediment source apportionment
(Scientific Reports, 2018-08-30)
Increasing complexity in human-environment interactions at multiple watershed scales presents
major challenges to sediment source apportionment data acquisition and analysis. Herein, we present
a step-change in the ...
A nature‑based approach for managing the invasive weed species Gutenbergia cordifolia for sustainable rangeland management
(SpringerPlus, 2016-10-13)
Background: The invasive weed species Gutenbergia cordifolia has been observed
to suppress native plants and to dominate more than half of the entire crater floor
(250 km2
) in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). ...
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 ...
Population size estimates and distribution of the African elephant using the dung surveys method in Rubondo Island National Park, Tanzania
(International Journal of Biodiversity and Conservation, 2016-06)
A study to estimate population size and distribution of elephants in the Rubondo Island National Park
(RINP) was conducted between March and July 2014. It involved elephant dung survey methods. In
estimating elephant ...
Climate change and decline in water resources in Kikuletwa Catchment, Pangani, Northern Tanzania
(African Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2014-01)
The sensitivity of hydrology and water resources to climate variation in Kikuletwa Catchment, Pangani
Basin, northern Tanzania was assessed using 30 years of river level and climate data as well as
questionnaire, focused ...
Integrating UAV Technology in an Ecological Monitoring System for Community Wildlife Management Areas in Tanzania
(MDPI, 2019-11-03)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have recently emerged as a new remote sensing
aerial platform, and they are seemingly advancing real-time data generation. Nonetheless,
considerable uncertainties remain in the extent to ...
