Inclusions, exclusions and transitions : Torres Strait Islander constructed landscapes over the past 4000 years, northeast Australia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the structured and structuring nature of constructed landscapes across the islands of Torres Strait of northeast Australia during the mid to late Holocene and found that many hunter-gatherer-cultivators intentionally manipulated their environments via three broad processes -inclusions (plant and animal translocations), exclusions (quarantining of certain plants and animals) and transitions (in situ change of biotas, landforms and hydrologies, often through fire).

Investigation of the Reasons for the Unique Growth and Development of Agave Species (Agave sisalana and Agave americana) Crop Plants at the Southern, Central, North Western and Eastern Parts of Tigray, Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this paper, composite topsoil samples from 16 study sites were taken and then their physical as well as chemical attributes were determined at the National Soil Testing Center (NSTC), where plant attributes such as Leaf Length (LL), Leaf Biomass (LB), Fiber Length (FL) and Tensile Strength (TS) were measured.
