Evaluation of Germination under Different Storage Conditions of Four Endemic Plant Species from Ethiopia: Implications for Ex Situ Conservation in Seed Banks.
(MDPI, 2023-02-06)
The conservation of endemic plant species is a major concern, as the species are with restricted distribution range. Since in situ conservation alone will not guarantee their maintenance, ex situ conservation measures must ...
Analysis of Forest Cover Change and Its Drivers in Biodiversity Hotspot Areas of the Semien Mountains National Park, Northwest Ethiopia.
(MDPI, 2023-02-07)
Forests provide multiple ecosystem services ranging from local livelihoods and socio-economic benefits to global ecological services. Despite these benefits, human activities have put immense strain on forest resources, ...
Pastoralists’ perception and ecological knowledge on savanna ecosystem dynamics in semi-arid Botswana
(Resilience Alliance, 2012)
We investigated vegetation dynamics in relation to livestock grazing as perceived by pastoral farmers in different regions of Botswana. A structured questionnaire was used to collect farmers’ understanding of vegetation ...
The Okavango Delta: Fisheries in a fluctuating floodplain system
(Frontiers Media [Commercial Publisher], 2022-09-07)
Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems globally characterized by dynamic interactions between terrestrial and aquatic habitats at different scales. These systems support valuable floodplain fisheries that are a ...
The vegetation and wildlife habitats of the Savuti-Mababe-Linyanti ecosystem, northern Botswana.
(Sabinet African Journals, 2017-05-23)
This study classified the vegetation of the Savuti-Mababe-Linyanti ecosystem (SMLE), northern Botswana and developed a detailed map that provides a reliable habitat template of the SMLE for future wildlife habitat use ...
Functional heterogeneity of habitats and dry season forage variability in an Okavango Delta landscape, northern Botswana.
(Elsevier, 2021-08-27)
The late dry season is a period when forage resources become limited in some African savannas that can induce a strong demographic bottleneck in herbivore populations with limited access to resource heterogeneity. This ...
A flood pulse driven fish population model for the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
(Elsevier, 2012-03-10)
The Okavango Delta is a large, remote, and ecologically significant wetland located in Botswana that receives a strong annual flood pulse. Although the hydrology in flood pulsed systems is often theorized to drive fish ...
Forest Dependency and Its Implication for Protected Areas Management: A case Study From Kasane Forest Reserve, Botswana
(Springer, 2009-04-15)
Conservation of biodiversity in protected areas will be more challenging if local communities are heavily dependent on them for various products and subsistence needs. This study estimated forest dependency and identified ...
Land reforms that exclude the poor: the case of Botswana.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2008-09-03)
Land reforms in Botswana, unlike those in other southern African countries, were not undertaken with the primary objective of redistributing land, but rather with the three objectives of increasing agricultural productivity, ...

(Semantic Scholar, 2020-03-30)
The seeds of Senegalia galpinii (Burtt Davy) Seigler and Ebinger and Vachellia robusta (Burch.) Kyalangalilwa and Boatwright have hard coatimposed dormancy that prevents water and air from entering the seeds, which is ...
