Effects of agroforestry tree species on microclimate and enset ( Ensete ventricosum ) morphophysiology in South Ethiopia
Enset (Ensete ventricosum), a multipurpose crop domesticated solely in Ethiopia, serves as a staple food for more than 20 million smallholder farmers. In some traditional enset-based systems, it is cultivated under trees, but enset’s response to canopy cover remains unclear. This study examined how scattered trees in enset farms affect the microclimate and morphophysiology of enset in South Ethiopia. Trees significantly modified microclimate cond…
Composition, structural diversity, and regeneration patterns of tree species in the Kihamba agroforestry system
More than half of trees species in Kihamba system are non-native • Nativeness of the tree species influence structural diversity of the tree layer • Native tree species in Kihamba are at risk of extinction Agroforestry systems in mountainous landscapes deliver essential ecosystem services; however, changes in the overstory trees may threaten their structural integrity and resilience. We assessed the introduction of non-native tree species on the …
Land Use/Cover Change as a major driver of ecosystem services values variation in the Indigenous Agroforestry systems of North-Eastern Mountains, Tanzania
LULC changes caused significant ESV losses in indigenous agroforestry systems • ESV trends varied markedly across mountainous landscapes • Agroforestry decline reduced key regulating and provisioning services • ESV estimated using the benefit transfer method with spatial analysis • Recorded ESV losses call for targeted landscape restoration and sustainable land management Understanding the dynamics of Land Use/Cover (LULC) in tropical mountainous…
Fossil redox-conditions influence organic matter composition in loess paleosols
Fingerprinting of soil organic matter as a proxy for assessing climate and vegetation changes in last interglacial palaeosols (Veldwezelt, Belgium)
Soil characteristics in palaeosols are an important source of information on past climate and vegetation. Fingerprinting of soil organic matter (SOM) by pyrolysis-GC/MS is assessed as a proxy for palaeo-reconstruction in the complex of humic layers on top of the Rocourt pedosequence in the Veldwezelt-Hezerwater outcrop (Belgian loess belt). The fingerprints of the extractable SOM of different soil units are related to total organic carbon content…
