TL;DR: Investigation in smallholder dairy cattle herds from Gokwe, Marirangwe, Mushagashe, Nharira, Rusitu and Wedza areas of Zimbabwe found keeping mixed breed herds, stocking density and herd size as independently associated with increased counts of seropositive cattle in a herd.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use case studies from Zimbabwe to illustrate the complexities that can undermine development efforts in semi-arid mixed farming areas and show that effective alleviation of poverty requires integrated, multi-tiered, and long-term interventions that expand economic opportunities and empower people to drive their own development.

TL;DR: An effect of distinctiveness and viewpoint but no interaction between these factors are found, and a model of face representation based on inter-item similarity in which the representations are view specific is discussed.
Abstract: Three experiments are reported in which the effects of viewpoint on the recognition of distinctive and typical faces were explored. Specifically, we investigated whether generalization across views...

TL;DR: In this article, an investigation into the influence of indigenous trees on soil fertility was conducted in an area of semi-arid tropical savanna in Zimbabwe on two contrasting soil types: dystrophic savanna soils (sandy soils) and eutrophic soils (fine-textured soils).
Abstract: An investigation into the influence of indigenous trees on soil fertility was conducted in an area of semi-arid tropical savanna in Zimbabwe on two contrasting soil types: dystrophic savanna soils (sandy soils) and eutrophic savanna soils (fine-textured soils). The study adds further support to the growing literature showing that trees have a positive influence on soil fertility. The study suggests that tree clearance, as advocated in these agropastoral systems, may not necessarily result in long-term benefits. It is argued that the primary mechanism by which soil fertility is improved is through increased litter and soil organic matter compartments under trees. The influence of trees on cation levels is greater on sandy soils than fine-textured soils because the exchange capacity of fine-textured soils is determined largely by soil texture whereas organic matter is the prime determinant of exchange capacity in sandy soils. The present study demonstrates that fertility improvement under trees is not at the expense of fertility decline in the surface soils of the zone around the tree. Leaf quality, as reflected simply in leaf C:N ratio, influences decomposition rates but the activities of termites probably confound any simple relationship. Litter quality of tree species is probably important in determining levels of soil organic matter under canopies, with higher levels under species with lower leaf quality.
