Indigenous knowledge on the uses and morphological variation among Strychnos gerrardii N.E.Br. morphotypes at Emkhandlwini area, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Background: Strychnos gerrardii N.E.Br., a member of the Loganiaceae family, is primarily known in rural communities for its edible fruits. However, indigenous knowledge on the uses and morphological diversity of native fruit trees such as S. gerrardii has not received much research. This study aimed to document the existing ethnobotanical knowledge on local uses and morphological diversity of S. gerrardii morphotypes growing in the Emkhandlwini …
Predicting the number of fruits and the seed biomass of Trichilia emetica (Vahl.) in the eastern coastal region of South Africa
Trichilia emetica is a coastal fruit tree species from sub-Saharan Africa that has a potential for commercial harvest for its edible and useful seed oils. However, the prediction of its fruit and seed yields is necessary to plan a profitable harvest. This study aims to calibrate allometric equations that predict the amount of fruits and the biomass of seeds of T. emetica. A total of 35 trees were selected based on seven classes of the diameter at…
To prevent this disease, we have to stay at home, but if we stay at home, we die of hunger’ – Livelihoods, vulnerability and coping with Covid-19 in rural Mozambique
Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing and travel restrictions have been introduced to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (hereinafter Covid). In many countries of the Global South, NPIs are affecting rural livelihoods, but in-depth empirical data on these impacts are limited. We traced the differentiated impacts of Covid NPIs throughout the start of the pandemic May to July 2020. We conducted qualitative weekl…
Fruit-based allometry of Strychnos madagascariensis and S. spinosa (Loganiaceae) in the savannah woodlands of the Umhlabuyalingana municipality, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Savannah woodlands of South Africa are dominated by fruit tree species that have a potential for commercial harvest from the wild. However, allometric equations that enable the quantification of fruit biomass of trees are non-existent. The aim of this study was to develop fruit-based allometric equations for Strychnos madagascariensis and S. spinosa species. A total of 80 trees were selected by applying a stratified sampling approach according to…
