Vegetative Shoots On Commercial Stumps Of Teak (baikiaea Plurijuga Harms) In The Kalahari Sands Of Zimbawe: Shoot Origin And Survival
A study to assess origin of shoots on stumps of teak was carried out in Gwayi forest in the Kalahari sands of Zimbabwe in 2013 in light of the decline of the species. The objectives of the study were: 1) to assess the percentage of stumps that produce shoots 2), to identify the origins of shoots on these stumps and
Characterisation Of Stump Bud Bank On Commercially Harvested Zambezi Teak ( Baikiaea Plurijuga) In The Kalahari Sands Of Zimbabwe
An assessment of the bud bank on commercially harvested stumps of teak in Gwayi in the Kalahari sands of Zimbabwe was carried out in April, 2015 in light of the vegetative regeneration of the species. The objectives of the study were 1) to determine if the number of buds on a stump are related to the diameter of the stump
Current Status Of Gwayi Forest In The Kalahari Sands Of Zimbabwe:zambezi Teak Diameter Class Distribution And Space Occupancy After 100 Years Of Selective Logging
An assessment of the current status of Gwayi forest was carried in four stands due for third cycle cutting in 2015 in light of the decline of teak due to selective logging. The objectives of the assessment were a) to assess the space occupancy percent of the commercial diameter classes using crown diameters derived from a diameter at breast height
Diet Of Four Haplochromines Species (teleostei, Cichlidae) In The Littoral Zone Of Lake Kivu (rwanda)
Qualitative and quantitative studies of the stomach content of Haplochromines kamiranzovu, H.insidae , H.astatodon and H.paucidens, which are endemic species in Lake Kivu, were undertaken in the littoral zone of Lake Kivu. Their sex and size classes were taken into account. Sampling was done along the Southern and Northern parts of Lake Kivu. It was observed that, plant debris
Selectivity Of Forest Tree Species For Debarking By Elephants In Rabongo Forest- Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda
Selectivity of the different forest tree species for debarking by elephants in a forest ecosystem is an important phenomenon for understanding the interactions between the large herbivores and the woody community in the tropical forest ecosystem. Here we present a long term investigation on elephant preference to forest trees debarking in Rabongo Forest spanning 20 years since 1992 in seven

This study attempts assess the critical role of infrastructure in the success of disaster response operations in Uganda. The study is motivated by 2010 Bududa landslide disaster where relief and
Effects Of Pretreatments On The Germination Indices Of Tetrapleura Tetraptera (schum. And Thonn.) Taub
The research was conducted to determine the effect of some pretreatment methods on the germination of Tetrapleura tetraptera with the view of selecting effective and environmentally friendly means of breaking its dormancy. The study was laid out in completely randomized design (CRD), consisting of five treatments and replicated four times. The treatments were sulphuric acid, lime juice extract, overnight soaking
An Assessment Of Greening Of The Sahel Using Geo-information Technique
In the last four decades, there has been sustained scientific interest in contemporary environmental change in the Sahel (the southern edge of the Sahara). It suffered several devastating drought and famine conditions between 1970s and 1980s. Speculations about the climatology of the drought are still unresolved. Contrary to the assertion of widespread irreversible desertification, a recent increase in the pattern
