Allometric models for prediction of above- and belowground biomass of trees in the miombo woodlands of Tanzania
Wilson A. Mugasha,Tron Eid,Ole Martin Bollandsås,Rogers Ernest Malimbwi,Shabani A.O. Chamshama,Eliakimu Zahabu,J. Z. Katani +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed above and belowground allometric general and site-specific models for trees in miombo woodland in Tanzania and compared the results with previously developed models and showed that these models can probably also be applied for miombo woodlands elsewhere in southeastern Africa if not used beyond the tree size range of the model data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate transferable household production functions of NTFP extraction in the Eastern Arc Mountains (EAM) in Tanzania, based on information from seven multi-site datasets related to the behaviour of over 2000 households.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stand Biomass and Volume Estimation for Miombo Woodlands at Kitulangalo, Morogoro, Tanzania
TL;DR: Tree species composition and regeneration status revealed that though disturbed, the public land species composition is not different from the other two strata and the developed volume and biomass models are recommended to be used for the miombo woodlands at Kitulangalo area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competition between maize and pigeonpea in semi-arid Tanzania: Effect on yields and nutrition of crops
TL;DR: Yield reductions suggest that the intercropped pigeonpea did not recover from competition after maize harvesting that reduced competition, and applications can be reduced by half under the improved fallow system due to alleviating interspecific competition.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a modeling approach for the economic valuation of annual Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) extraction at a large spatial scale, which has four main strengths: (1) it is based on household production functions using data of actual household behaviour, it is spatially sensitive, using a range of explanatory variables related to socio-demographic characteristics, population density, resource availability and accessibility, and it is generic and can therefore be up-scaled across nonsurveyed areas.
