We hypothesized that roan may select localities with higher soil nutrient levels and/or grass swards with more favourable properties in terms of food abundance or quality than generally available in those regions. Roan antelope were observed in a savanna region in South Africa where soils of ...
If you’ve ever had a pale wine from Swartland, South Africa, this is part of the reason why. In cooler climate regions, sandy soils benefit vineyards by retaining heat and draining well, producing highly aromatic wines. A side benefit of sandy soils is their resistance to pests, which ...
To identify environmental and plant factors underlying this yield variation and select cowpeas with a stable yield, the grain yield variation of 16 cowpea genotypes in three dominant soils in the Sudan Savanna, namely, Ferric Lixisols (LXfr), Petric Plinthosols (PTpt), and Pisoplinthic Petric...
Results revealed significant (p < 0.05) impacts of LUM types and slope positions on SQ parameters. SQI rankings were EF > AF > CG > BCL > TCL. EF soils in lower slopes achieved the highest SQI (0.981) due to superior SOC, TN, and CEC, offering benchmarks for sustainable management. ...
for fishing bait. The introduction of non-native worms is actually a huge problem, as these worms become invasive and can threaten the balance of natural ecosystems. Native worms, on the other hand, are enormously advantageous to our ecosystem and offer numerous benefits to our soils and plants...
Liana is usually a woody vine, long-stem that are usually well rooted in the soils and make use of other trees close or in surroundings to reach a very high position in order to access sunlight in the forest area. This vegetation zone can be seen from the Niger-Benin Republic border. ...
In fact, African Coffee is considered the best in the world, mostly due to the high elevations and lush soil conditions in which it grows. But this could also be seen as a generalisation, as Africa consists of many great Coffee-growing countries of varying elevations, climates and soils incl...
The six types of asbestos are chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite, tremolite, & actinolite. Learn about their characteristics and health risks.
It has been shown that the availability of P can be increased when the acidic soils are limed, resulting in higher yields of beans. also demonstrated that in twining beans, the average yield of 632 kg/ha can increase to 1250 kg/ha, 1186 kg/ha, and 1365 kg/ha, respectively, when Tith...
They grow in both acidic and basic soils, as long as they have enough drainage, and the canopies usually create a dense shade on the ground. Beechwood is a popular choice as firewood because it’s easy to cut and has calm, long-lasting flames. ...
