Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-wall polysaccharides play an important role in decay resistance of Sphagnum and actively depressed decomposition in vitro
TL;DR: The role of polysaccharides in resistance to, and active inhibition of, microbial mineralization in Sphagnum-dominated litter is emphasized, as the poly Saccharides displayed decay-inhibiting properties hitherto associated with phenolics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a country-by-country, bottom-up approach to establish statistical estimates of actual grain yield, and compare these to modelled estimates of potential yields for either irrigated or rainfed conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of climate change and adaptation on the livestock component of mixed farming systems: A modelling study from semi-arid Zimbabwe
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of two adaptation packages targeting soil fertility management and crop diversification and quantified the sensitivity to climate change of both current and improved systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding efficiency gains can increase the greenhouse gas mitigation potential of the Tanzanian dairy sector.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) and simulation modelling to assess the effect of improved feeding practices and increased yields of feed crops on milk productivity and GHG emissions from the dairy sector of Tanzania's southern highlands region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of lifetime performance of small ruminants under different feeding systems.
TL;DR: It is concluded that grazing with adequate supplementation using farm-generated feed resources offers an opportunity for improving smallholder goat production systems in West Africa.
