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 ...
Effect of Rhizobium and Intercropping Systems on Soil Nutrients and Biological Nitrogen Fixation as Influenced by Legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos lablab)
(International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2016-10-10)
The study was conducted to assess the effect of Rhizobium inoculation and
intercropping systems on soil nutrients improvement and biological nitrogen
fixation as influenced by two legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos ...
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 ...
Improving Soil Fertility and Crops Yield through Maize-Legumes (Common bean and Dolichos lablab) Intercropping Systems
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2016-11-15)
Declining crops yield in the smallholder farmers cropping systems of sub-Saharan African (SSA) present the
need to develop more sustainable production systems. Depletion of essential plant nutrients from the soils have
been ...
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 ...
Drivers of increased soil erosion in East Africa’s agro-pastoral systems: changing interactions between the social, economic and natural domains
(Springer, 2019-06-08)
Increased soil erosion is one of the main drivers of land degradation in East Africa’s agricultural and pastoral landscapes. This wicked problem is rooted in historic disruptions to co-adapted agro-pastoral systems. ...
Emerging issues and challenges associated with conservation of the African baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) in the semi-arid areas of Tanzania
(International Network for Natural Sciences, 2019-11)
The aim of this review is to discuss the emerging issues and challenges in baobab conservation based on the climate change, emerging challenges related to herbivory and human use such as emerging of new markets for baobab ...
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 ...
Soil erosion in East Africa: an interdisciplinary approach to realising pastoral land management change
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018-12-03)
Implementation of socially acceptable and environmentally desirable solutions to soil erosion
challenges is often limited by (1) fundamental gaps between the evidence bases of different disciplines
and (2) an implementation ...
Pinpointing baobab (Adansonia digitata [Linn. 1759]) population hotspots in the semi‐arid areas of Tanzania
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019-11-15)
The impact of unsustainable land‐use conversions, changes in climate and anthropogenic activities on abundance and distribution of baobab populations was assessed in semi‐arid regions of Tanzania. Baobabs were sampled in ...
